    Loved that GT, good nick for a 25yr old bike. My first 'grown-up' bike was a GT Timberline that I got back in the early 90s. I ended up crashing that one into the back of a car and totalled it. A few years later I got a GT Avalanche that I am still riding.

      +trooperJac Mate I've totalled a bike into the back of a car 🚗 not good! I'm glad and thank you for sharing some of your memories. I love the frame geometry of the GT's. Thanks again Andy

    I must admit Andy I thought the Kirk Precision should be a keeper. Would love to see more vids of it being used 😊

      +Andy Kirstie Baxter Andy I'll make note, I have three restorations on the go at the moment. But hope to do other videos between so could be an option, it's a good stiff ride! No point in just having it there. 🚴thanks for the comment all the best Andy

    Hi Andy not surprised that you kept the Kirk Precision you couldn't sell such a rare bike I'd have kept it too. Loved seeing your bikes and yes the Stique is a great multi tool i've got one myself.

    • @BikeItUK

      +Richard Hawkins thanks for the comment Richard yes it's really something else the Kirk Precision. The multi tools great isn't it lightweight and so many tools. Thanks again Andy

    That's a really sweet and minimalist collection. I've had to be selective and pear down the number of bikes I can keep because of space limitations. Plus the current building manager is a real bike hater. So restorations are out for me too at the moment. It's good to be able to see somebody else doing it that does it better than me. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more great videos.

      +Terrence Rettich thank you for the supporting comment, I have a couple of great projects on the go at the moment so you shouldn't have to wait to long for another restoration. Selling the projects enables me to buy another and cherry 🍒 pick the ones I do keep. Thanks again for the support Andy

  • @kwacker45
    @kwacker45 7 років тому +1

    • @BikeItUK
      @BikeItUK  7 років тому

    What happened to the old Ribble?

    • @BikeItUK
      @BikeItUK  8 років тому

      +Charles Garay well spotted, unfortunately I had the Garage broke into and that was one of the bikes taken 😩I replaced it with the other Canyon. I need half a dozens keys and codes to get into the place now. Thanks for watching Andy

    • @partsbinspecial1457
      @partsbinspecial1457 8 років тому

      I'm sorry to hear that, that's terrible! Love the channel though, and your impeccable attention to detail. It's inspired me to build up an old steel frame myself. I've picked up a vintage 1977 Nishiki from my local co-op.

    • @BikeItUK
      @BikeItUK  8 років тому

      Good man,hearing story's such as your own inspires me to carry on the restoration videos myself. Its a two way street believe me. Hope the restoration is going well. All the best Andy

  • @naujaral2131

    Oh what's the correct spelling of the multi tool please?

      +Jonathan Hobbs I use the Canyon ultimate with Ultegra on. The first bike in the stand. All the best Andy

    • @jonathanhobbs7221
      @jonathanhobbs7221 8 років тому

      BikeIt UK Just surprised you don't have mudguards on as it must be essential kit for winter riding in the Peak District!

    • @BikeItUK
      @BikeItUK  8 років тому

      I used to use mudguards but I got sick of adjusting them and them rubbing. I generally ride alone or in small numbers, and If I'm getting wet I'm getting wet i figured. In large groups the guards help with the spray. All the best Andy
