The 2025 BIKE CRECHE CYCLE JUMBLE | Manchester Velodrome, National Cycling Centre
The 2025 Bike Creche cycle jumble hosted over 100 stalls of vintage bicycles and related parts for the first time since 2020, and in today's video I will give you a quick walkaround of the bicycle and parts jumble set inside the National Cycling Centre which houses the Manchester Velodrome.
After helping to organise a stall I was helping out with which offered 3 vintage bikes, I started off my walkaround with a look at a stunning 1890 Star bicycle, which sold quite quickly at I think £1500!
There was a vintage bicycle for everyone at this year's Bike Creche jumble sale, including one which I bought that will be revealed in this video...
All in all the 2025 Bike Creche Cycle Jumble was a fant...

    From experience the back pedal brake will be a lot more dependable than the rod brakes

    Hi Harley. I just read some comments from others , and that person mentioning about you being rude towards a man at the cycle show. I believe you didn't mean anything unkind. I'm in old age now and I've opened my mouth and said things I've regretted. Ask anyone and they will say they have too. You are a good young man Harley.

    @michaeltreadwell777 День назад

    Well Harley, that was different ! You're going to need another shed to house all your bicycles ! Those old saddles are certainly more comfortable that racing saddles. My first bicycle was a 2 tone blue Elswick Hopper. I bought it second hand in 1966 and rode it everywhere. It had 24" wheels as I was only 11 years old. It was a single speed, but a friend gave me a 3 speed Sturmey archer wheel for it, so that made life easier. Thanks for this video - different but very interesting. Take care 🙂

    Hi Harley, I know absolutely nothing about bikes, indeed there are those that would suggest I know nothing about anything. But it's nice to think that even if you don't know the history of your new bike, that financially it's a good investment because the parts would be worth much more. That aside, you have a new bike that you can use and as we know, a classic vehicle is better if useful and used. Well done.

    About 15 minutes into this. 3:00 AM, can’t sleep, so I’m fixing some beef stew, an American style “Biscuits”. I’ll watch this great video. [ maybe I’ll dream about racing a 2-CV😁]. 🚗🙂

  • @Carl-x8y3c
    @Carl-x8y3c 4 дня назад

    Those Citroen CV2s look so cool. They need to be very low to the ground , because there would be too much body roll on the corners while racing. Your father walking by you looked like he was reading a library book that he had taken along to read if it all got too boring. That Citroen SM is absolutely stunning in the plum red colour. I have always liked the Renault 16. The Renault 20 replaced the 16 model , and is also nice in design too. Well thanks for the good video Harley.

  • @jeffking4176
    @jeffking4176 4 дня назад

    When I first started Detailing, I worked at a prestigious Shop. “America’s Starshine Auto Detailing “. We had free pickup and delivery. I drove just about every car there was in Naples Florida. One of the fastest, was a BMW 750 iL-X Special Edition. [ the owner went to the factory to choose the color paint, and interior-with , and to match his wife’s 5 series.
