pretty neat film. I was surprised that the seat stays were bolted in place rather than brazed.

I am just glad all that steel was made rust and weatherproof. Enjoyed it. There is something to be said for hand-made.

Thanks for posting this. fun and interesting to watch.
Wouldn't mind being one of those "test riders".... seems like a fun job. Ok, now try this bike, now try that bike.
The story and acting certainly isn't winning any oscars, but the quality of the footage was much better than i would have expected given other footage I've seen from that period.

That was fun, it reminded me of this recent video, as I saw many similarities:

A little more of the culture that hand makes these bikes is sprinkled into this one, and it's a bit shorter too....
