    I randoed in the 1990s. I rode a Cannondale 3.0 one year. I know it’s a crit bike, but sometimes the bike you ride is the one you have. The second year I rode a Bridgestone RB2 - a great bike. LEDs weren’t a thing then. The dynamos we had sucked. One year used. 6v head light & the 4 big 6v batteries I used them up & threw them away. I’d love to have a dynamo hub like that. Gorgeous bike. Keep up the good work. Love the videos. Can’t wait to see the Volare.

    This is an awesome channel. I love vintage steel road bikes! I have just one, my dad’s 1972 Italvega, which I have restored to good riding condition as best I could. Nothing like the glorious restorations and new builds you feature here, but I’m glad to have brought new life to an old bike that was basically neglected and rusting in a shed. Thanks for your inspiring videos!

    Loved hearing about the bike and the influences that created it! The paint really is incredible, as well as all of Jeff's paint infills and extra machining of components. I suppose it might distract from the clean lug work, etc., though. I didn't know that Jeff had worked at Michael's Cyclery in Ames (or maybe I forgot?). I was a little surprised to see my photo of my Michael's sweatshirt flash on the screen. 😀 It's good to keep the memory of such a great shop alive.

    Wow! What a sweet bicycle. I have a Motobecane LeChampion. It was my first good quality Reynolds 531 bicycle. I rode it everyday to work at The Spoke & Rim bicycle store where I worked summers for several years along with seasonal work around Christmas I still have the bicycle which was repainted by CycleArt a while back. The bicycle stirs a lot of fond memories. I need to refresh it and get it out on the road again.
