listening to a craftsman like Bock is a real education.
I learn a lot everytime I talk with him!
that bike is almost too beautiful to ride , thanks for showing us
Agreed
Oh. but he's putting miles on it for sure. However probably wont see rain! LOL
Aesthetically perfect, both the bike and the full length silver mudguards. Absolutely stunning!
Great rando build! Thanks for showcasing this niche style of bicycle!
Its not the most popular on my channel but those that love it really value seeing it! Thanks for watching.
Like and comment from Western Australia.
Thanks, good to hear from down under!
Love your channel John, your enthusiasm for vintage is infectious.
Well worth the feature. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Very enjoyable video John! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Pat
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!
@@argusc3310 it's actually a new custom build
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage I know this video in particular featured a new custom build, with some vintage and modified vintage components. I was commenting in general, about your channel, which is, after all, focused on vintage bikes. Cheers.
Great hat !!
Great build thanks for sharing this. And of course it has the bling which I like as well! 👍👊
I asked Jeffrey to start thinking about my bike. i want a touring bicycle ALA Trek 720.. long wheelbase etc. I asked him to think of how ornate he can cut a lug!
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage that would be very interesting to see!
History. What a resource, and how great to hear their stories recorded for perpetuity
Thanks for watching
Excellent presentation John. Beautiful bike and well worthy of the award.
Keep those videos coming
Thanks so much!
Beautiful job, I love all the old and modern engineering incorporated into the build, with a nod to the french bike's... the paint is above and beyond...
Just stellar paint work..
Thank you John.
Thanks. I'm grateful for Jeff and Brian to take the time with me!
That is a beautiful bike!! That switch on the stem is the Cat's Pajamas!! I think Brian is the Gentleman who bought my CampI V brakes and if he is tell him I said thanks for the new cycling shoes!!!
@@trinab9612 he reads the comments here.
What a beautiful bicycle!
Yes. its excellent. I think Im going to have him build me one!
Super video 🎉🎉🎉thanks
Just sold a set of those Cannondale panniers. Still kicking myself. The Thules are great, but HEAVY
I purchased them in 84... finally getting to use them 40 years later. Other than just a trip to the beach. I dont think Ive used them in 30 years!
Beautiful !!! 😍
Yes!
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.
Regarding your Cincinnati to Cleveland ride you can carbo load at places like Gold Star, Skyline and other lesser known parlors. Tempted to do that ride myself. Long way from Utah. Enjoy.
Get that bike out!!! great bike! Enjoy!
Its going to be an interesting ride. Its my first tour! Im used to organized rides like RAGBRAI~
Beautiful bike!! Keep up the videos, I am learning tons about vintage bikes. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for the encouragement. ! Thanks for watching
Brilliant. Thank you.
THanks
This bike is engineered beautifully blending old school styling with new tech equipment . Beautifully done and John you did a great job with the interview.
Thanks so much. Im learning that craft. I dont interview much!
Absolutely fascinating. What talented and accomplished artisans and bicycle afficionados. Riveting episode.
Im appreciating the hand built small builder bikes a lot more. I'm going to have Jeffrey build me one!
what a gorgeous custom build. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful build!
Im envious!
Great interview with a couple of great guys. Thx for the photo credits. Hope you get yourself a custom Bock soon!
Im in discussion with him now. !
so gorgeous
YES!
Ótimo,,,os seus vídeos gosto muito de ve-los,,,,e bom ver essas. Bikes
Functtional art!
absolutely!
Wow great stuff..
Thanks for watching!
Great video John! That bike was really something special to see in person in Auburn. I love that your video goes into such details about the build, and answers so many questions I had after seeing it. Keep em coming! I'm anxious to see the Volare video since I have one too.
Thanks Bernie!
Another great video!
Thanks

Thanks!
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.
I worked at Michael's late '80s - early '90s. At that time Jeff had his shop behind the back parking lot on the other side of the tracks.
@@brianlamson8674 Good to know! I was attending ISU from '81 to '86. In that time, Michael's moved from the corner over to the former Nim's Sportsman Exchange (IIRC). A shame that Michael's didn't stay in business, but bike shops (like a lot of retail) tend to have a rough time.
@@SkyhawkSteveI recall the floors of the old shop, thinly sliced 2X4 pieced into a parquet design. Very economical and a classic memory of mine.
@@brianlamson8674 My memories of Michael's old shop are hazy... but I recall a huge photo of Jeff Bradley (I think?) on the wall near the door, and a small "shrine" to Andy Hampsten in the rear of the shop. It was a pretty small shop, and the move to the new location got them a lot more display space. A good choice!
That's your shirt!!!???? LOL. I looked up Michaels cyclery so I could put a pic up when he mentioned it. I couldnt find the front of the store.. or at least a vintage one. So I used the sweatsshirt!! Thanks for the photo. I got it on google.!
i like all your bike 🚲 and your cap 🧢.👍👍. fron LA calif 🇺🇸🇲🇽
Getting some love for the hat today! LOL
Beautiful bike. I did the Ohio to Erie the other direction last year. Be aware the last 70 or so miles in the north is crushed limestone. No problem for my clunker, but be careful when you re riding museum pieces.
@@guycampbell5285 thanks for the information. I'll be riding 27x1 1/4 tires. I ride on crushed limestone and aggregate often. I should be fine. I'm looking forward to the ride
As always, great video! Looking to following along on your OTET trip. Curious to know what your favorite part of the state will be.
Thanks Chris. We'll see how the "blog" goes. New to that! I'll post daily where I am for some to join in the ride.
Gorgeous bike and a great review. I'm left thinking of the final scene in "Breaking Away"!
Thanks!
PS I like the color of the AMF
I mistakenly stated the MAFAC Driver cantilevers were dated from 1948 when, in fact, they were from 1949. The open back MAFAC levers were from 1948.
@@brianlamson8674 We'll forgive you Brian LOL
Hey I'll try to get to that show in South Lyon (not pronounced Leeon as in France), closer than Dundee or Auburn.
I follow JB on Instagram, and his X frame is looking very nice!
@@CharlieMetcalf that thing is pretty crazy isn't it!
Cool. Anyone recall the "wonder light"?
Yes. white boxey light that mounted on a plastic holder?
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage That's it. Think of some of the positive changes in lighting.
those fenders on the Brock really pop. Are they available for sale separately?
You could Ask Jeffrey if he'd do it. when I had him price out a bike they were a pretty penny!
Yeah, start talking about parts and end up with a whole new bike. Sounds about right.
It's hard to justify the hunt for unique vintage parts unless you can find a use for them!
True Brian. You had an excellent vision on this bike and you carried it through with NO shortcuts!
I'd spend my money a thousand times more readily on a bicycle like that than any modern day carbon, electronic groupset crap! (shame about the sound recording on this vid 🥴)
Im learning. I just purchased a Go Pro and now shopping for cordless microphones for better sound!
I really like Randonneur style bikes. I have changed some of my old bikes into that style. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I'm going to have Jeffrey build me a "touring bike" long wheelbase, shallow angles etc!
