    I've been waiting for this since seeing the bike in the background of a previous video. What a clinic in early 20th century mechanics and tech. Really really well done.

    He filed the screws until the slots lined up when fully tightened !!
    Brings tears of nostalgia to these eyes which remember that such used to be standard fare for Made in America.
    Drop a line to Jay Leno. If he isn't interested, he definitely would know someone who would be. Pity you missed the Concours D'Elegance for this year. That would have sold it in an hour.
    Music was very nice.
    25 points to House Larson for exceptional taste, skill and attention to detail. An additional 20 sexy points for all around kewlness.

    I obviously was drawn to your channel because of your vocals.
    This is next level. Please don’t stop.
    Voice: Amazing.
    Your take on the voice: enlightening
    This bike: speechless. 😶
    Masterpiece. 100%

    Love that front brake ! I thought the front brake on my 67 Harley was weak, but that brake looks weak for a childs 1/2 size bike. ! Pioneers in cycling ! Would not the drive belt have had staples? Stitching does not seem like it would hold ? But, it was 1901.!

    Interestingly, this cycle is shaft drive while cars at this time were belt or chain drive. Time passes and it goes the other way around. I ride a shaft-drive motorcycle. But it is only twenty years old. I just have to say. What a beautiful restoration. Very well done. Although, I did notice one small mistake. The bracket used to install the oiler can is made of aluminum. Although aluminum was around at the time of this bike, it is highly unlikely that this part would have been made of aluminum. Aluminum was very expensive at the time.

    Loved the video! It's great to see you do other types of content that you enjoy making, the filming and background music are really good, but I have a question regarding one of the tracks. Is the hi hat of the track of 11:50 out of time? I don´t dislike it but I've been working on my timing and I've been having a crisis over wether the kick, hi hat and snare are evenly spaced or if the hi hat is a little late than it would normally be, either way the song is really good, also David if you're reading this don't let the numbers discourage you from making the content you love, I (and many people for what I can see) really enjoyed it and are waiting to see more stuff like this!

    This may or may not be the spot to post this.... but I'm going with the most recent video you've posted. You definitely need to check out this beatboxer, Den. He has posted with the beatbox international, and I feel like he's either under appreciated, or unrecognized. He sings well, he articulates well, and his bass is pretty insane.
