This bike, it's owner/builder and her story is the most authentic video of its kind I've come across. I thought that this type of quiet and reserved brilliance was lost to this day and age. Bravo I say, Bravo! Stupendous achievement, in every respect.
@Jon Hodder - I agree. Well said. The style and details are awesome. Love the colour too but I wouldn't want any signatures on it. Her personality matches the bike. @Josh Rick - lol. I did watch her kick-it-over three times. ha ha
Agree 1000%!! Coming from a designer’s perspective, I thought I have seen the most beautiful bikes throughout the years (Brought Superior, Zundapp K800, several cafe racer builds, etc.). But this. This is one of my new favorites. And such a beautiful and simple presentation. Bravo indeed.
you did a good job on the bike, it looks great. I had one back in the 60's on my 1967 650 triumph TT special racing bikes was the time of my life, even met Steve McQueen at one of the racetracks
Greetings from So Oregon sister im 72 and remember the days of triumphs ive owned 1966 bonny, two 1971 tigers, i was pit crew for my uncle who raced bikes back when the Barstow to Vegas desert race and remembering seeing Rickman triumphs racing great vid thanks for the memery
I watched this video for the first time about week ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about this bike, I think it is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen!!!!
We just restored our '65 MKIII Rickman Triumph. I heard it run for the first time in 40 years, and it was my birthday. It may be the only bike of its kind here in the south of Chile. I have a 2 minute video of that special day when it was awakened , and it sounds even more beautiful now!
By far my favorite motorcycle so far on this website!!! It has everything, great build story, great history, Rickman frame and autographs, Triumph engine, forks, hubs, headlight (killer rock guard), beautiful bodywork, excellent craftsmanshipk!!! And references to Steve McQueen's (King of Cool) bikes!!! You Killed It on your first build!!! You other wannabe bike builders take note of this bike!!!
A beautiful, beautiful bike, with a great sound! What I like is that nothing has been done "flash" just to look fancy. No fancy paint, just because you can, no gold plated or anodised bits just because you can. Instead, you have a practical, beautiful bike. To go by the old adage, if something looks right, then it is right. And this bike certainly looks just right.....
Yes, your comment begs one from me, about how the morons and the drooling idiots destroyed thousands upon thousands of the good old motorcycles back in the 50s and 60s in order to chop or customize them. Drooling idiots, one and all. A chopper has terrible brakes, it does not lean into Corners it is simply a piece of s***. Only if you maintained the frame geometry, were they good enough to be returned to stock, and taken away from the chopper morons. I am sick to death of looking at custom motorcycles that have cost thousands and thousands of dollars to build, and the realistic value of the bike has been cut in half.......... now to prepare for the hordes of angry Chopper Builders who are going to respond....
You are one very clever, lucky young woman! Well done!!! I was only talking with a friend of mine yesterday about this particular model! I’m in Australia & an absolute Steve McQueen nut🤪 I have a1968 Ford Mustang GT390 fastback still LHD. I have the Triumph Steve McQueen Great Escape 2012 replica bike. Only 30 here in Oz. And I’m fortunate enough to have the 2018 Bullitt Mustang, but I think you’ve trumped me with that gorgeous Rickman! I’m so happy for you & even more so because of your passion! Your dad must be chuffed!!!👍🏼😎 P.s. I follow Chelsea...the EPL football club🤭
Thank you for sharing this design and build with us. Thanks to your Dad for supporting your passion , and enabling the 'next generation' to continue the appreciation of an iconic lifestyle. You have to be the luckiest biker in Britain, maybe the world ! Your Dad is the easily the luckiest Dad. Cheers and continued happiness your way.
Chelsea when you started your bike it was the best bike I have heard in years. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing back classics like the Rickman.
Great project!! Nicely done! Just love it. You truly put your heart into this project, and the story that went with it made it really special! Thank you for sharing!
I just wanted to say that you guys have really inspired me with your videos recently. Last fall I was pretty down on riding and I sold my Triumph Scrambler. Too many scares for me on the road. I know that is part of the game, but I never had a serious accident and decided that is how I should leave it. I do still own a '74 Honda XL 175 that my dad and I bought many years ago and restored together. It has sat in a shed for six or seven years since I started riding "large bikes" on the road. I have been watching your videos of regular bikes and riders this winter. These owners are proud of their bikes and the work that went into them. Especially Chelsea here, she did a great job and you can see how proud she is. All this has reminded me of how proud I was when my Honda was finished and I could finally go out and explore the woods and roads. This spring I am resolved to get that motorcycle out and buy a trail permit for it. I can stop riding on the road but that shouldn't stop me from enjoying riding! Thank you for the videos and I will continue watching. You do a great job. Stay safe and have fun everyone!
@@ChrisTian-lf2oh She bought a kit and put it together, she didn't 'build' it as much as everyone here is thinking. Still a very nice bike and all but it's nothing your average person with a wad of cash couldn't do.
UA-cam was created for this type of video ,it is an example of passion focus ,commitment ,,what a wonderful bike fantastic work well done ,,in the process of refurbing my bike and the spoke wheel people may be contacted ,,,,great job Chelsea !
What a great walk through of a true albeit pricey shed build. You should be very proud. A pat on the back goes out to your dad too. I love the improv parts, and all that spit and polish rather than bolting on so much of the generic stuff you see on other builds. I'd love to see it on a visit to BSMC but if you're like me you wouldnt let it out of your sight. Well done again. I also think its my favourite.
This is most definitely the coolest bike in The Bike Shed. Gorgeous looking machine, awesome story and the most badass girl there. She could not have owned a more iconic bike. Bravo!!! I also loved the format, with all the details on the bits and pieces and how everything came to life.
Lovelylovely bike. Alot of really great hardwork, dedication, and fabrication. Sounds incredible. Love the story, beginning to end, and love your love of bikes and this one for sure. Congratulations! I know, this comes 4 years after the fact, but this video is timeless!
@@RR-dj8rt oh sorry forgot to mention I'm a hoarder with agrophobia, my house is full to the rafters with crap, a bit like Mr trebus, so I have to live in the garden but don't like going outside so I sleep in the kennel.
One of the best rebuilds I ever seen.love it,amazing!i am 75 and rebuilding old Honda Dino's 50cc 2 stroke.parked my Triumph...and having a blast.........having 2 I ride one and one hope to drag race the other.Best time under 10 sec.wins.not easy when all the kids are 13-20 years in Thailand.....life is riding and building...super thanks to you!
What a beautiful job!!!!! I have a Rickaman Mk III 441 and I know that they are not easy to build. All your fab work is absolutely first class. What a great job, Chelsea.
To the 179 guys who should have gone to Specsavers, thank you for trying. It’s the thought that counts...! Chelsea, you nailed this bike. It’s a delight to find one awesome bike amongst all the passé wasters with those silly Bermuda Triangles of lost opportunities behind the carbs, acting as proof that they’ve never seen a real café racer. Every detail is impressive. Thank you for sharing
This is handsdown the best looking Steve McQueen matisse...great authentic built and man that women has really good story for it the detailed job alot of things are from Royal Enfield g2 1959 and man that thump when it starts the best sound on idle watched this video so many times great built really loved it keep the videos comming great channel thumbs up.
I’ve watched this before, but it is such a lovely bike, and great to see an owner who actually DID the work on their machine. Thanks for sharing it - and the sound is just what a Triumph engine should sound like. My brother-in-law used to scramble ‘Umph engined bikes back in the 60s, this takes me back. Les
Chelsea.... you and your dad have much to be proud of ! The bike looks FANTASTIC and the craftsmen who helped with the specialist components have created some magic to help with the project. I'm sure that you will be keeping this wonderful machine for many years to come..... and when you decide not to ride it..... please just keep it. I call this machine mechanical art ! many regards, gerhard (Melbourne Australia)
When she started it up...oh, yes, that's a Triumph! Mine was a 1966 500cc twin with single carb. It was a mess but two mechanics with their own shop got it right and it would pull right out from under you. Hers is beautiful and she has done an astonishing job with it.
I summoned the spirit of Steve Mcqueen and he told me to give you a thumbs up from him. I agree with him , but UA-cam only allows me to give one thumbs up.
A lifetime ago I had a 1970 Triumph Tiger 650, loved it...I was drooling through this whole video, that bike is perfection or as close as one comes to it.
I'm old. I own a Bonneville. I watch The Motorbike Show etc with Henry Cole, and so aware of these bikes. I haven't got the money or the length of life left to save but-I want one! Chelsea is of course delightful, a breath of fresh air, gorgeous!
Great job, awesome to see a passionate build with a real family story at it’s heart. Looked lovely in the Bike Shed; colour reminds me of the UK military aircraft grey, but way more shiny and less stained with oil. Who reconditioned/rebuilt the engine?
Absolutely beautiful bike. I salute you and your ability. I'm in the US and do remember the Rickman. I'm so very impressed with the way you put it all together. Thanks for a great look at an incredible classic bike. Ride free and safely.
Lovely. The bike is also amazing! Never seen a Metisse in person sadly. A perfect, motorcycle. Yours my dear,is the most stunning example I have seen. Lithe, athletic, good color, stance, and presence. For me though, the nickel plated frame adds right touch. Reminiscent of a Brough Superior. Outstanding job. Ride the hell out of it!
Thanks to Chelsea for building and posting this Rickman replica. I remember reading about Rickman's in Cycle magazine, but I'm sure none ever made it to N.Y. state. I was drawn to the chrome wire headlight cover, functional and beautiful, back when you could ride your bike to race it, then ride it home, like the road race cars that put the tape X over the lens.
Who would not like this bike, ably presented by it's builder/ rider. The solid opaque gray paint scheme is perfectly understated. Be careful riding! Your ( growing ) fan base does not want to lose you!
Just viewed this video, as a real petrol head with a love of all things with 2 wheels, I have to say this is a fantastic achievement, all credit due, what dedication to turn out such beauty, I love Triumphs and this one sounds fantastic, better than my mint 56 Tiger 100. Brilliant work. I have not seen such good welding since Ken Sprayson. Makes me want to get on with another one myself.
I love the effort made to make up parts which make this better/just right for the rider, and I have been trying to find those mirrors everywhere! A superb build!
wow what anamazing build, hats off to you my girl your dad must be very proud of you. its anamzing bike you have built for yourself and a real insperation to anyone thinking of doing a build. the bike shed is one of my go to places for a coffee and look around when i come over to visit london.
well done Chelsea it you did an amazing job its sooooo..... beautiful! i absolutely love it! love the color, the tires, the little details, the frame, pipes etc etc its wonderful!!!! cheers!!
Michael The Atheist everything was done by somebody else... she didnt build it, somebody did the engine the assembly the hard work and all of you are just asslicking because she’s pretty
Awesome... Awesome story, legacy....and whatever the final cost for the build, especially when you know the final value... And between bike lovers, it's like a fairy tale... And I love the way like, whatever people says... She wanted a break light, she put the right one... Etc.... And it's like the continuation of her dad's bike....
Thanks for letting us live vicariously through your passion just for a moment! I cannot imagine the feeling you had when you first started the engine. Beautiful bike.
This is hands down the classiest looking bike I've seen in this series so far. Period.
fully agree
Totally agree. And I really love those signature! wow, just wow
Chelsea is the 'classiest' looking thing on this vid. !
@Peter Anderson Very Tidy... we must be about the same age those were my first bikes as well....
akshay kr ABSOLUTELY!
out of all the bike shed builds, this one's the coolest. Chelsea's knocked it out of the park.

Love this bike. I understand the Rickman Metisse is being built again in a shop in England. By far the most stunning bikes in the world.
It’s always been built in England check out wasp motorcycles xx
A beautiful, beautiful bike, with a great sound!

Right proper parenting, this. Rickman were rare in my day. This one is stunning as is the owner. Brilliant.
Wooooow! So impressed. So many cafe racers shy away from the chrome now days, my bike included. You did an excellent job.

My brother had a Rickman in 73. It came with a 125 Puch. He raced it. I was 13 and I went to all his races. I loved that bike. The frame was soo nice.
My favourite build on this channel!
Actually built in my opinion properly.
I’ve seen some roadworthy shockers.
Looks more like a hybrid than any specific make. Very nice looking. So is the owner. Kudos all around.
Chelsea, I absolutely love your bike, been admiring it while it’s been here at the ‘Shed. The whole thing is perfect and those pipes are 👌

I actually NEED this bike, I'm 52, balding and got a beer belly and I also have low esteem so this bike would make me cool again
meh....McQueen had quite the belly when he died too....turns out, he should have accepted it.
Matisse are alive and well just outside oxford, and sell these.

Great job, awesome to see a passionate build with a real family story at it’s heart. Looked lovely in the Bike Shed; colour reminds me of the UK military aircraft grey, but way more shiny and less stained with oil. Who reconditioned/rebuilt the engine?

Because it’s the best motorcycle colour any bike has ever been painted.
well done Chelsea it you did an amazing job its sooooo..... beautiful! i absolutely love it! love the color, the tires, the little details, the frame, pipes etc etc its wonderful!!!! cheers!!
Nothing sexier than a woman who knows her way around a bike! And the accent helps too! Lol
