Love the lush paint work on the fenders, the dark burgandy, white base and gold pin stripe. I want one. Atlas Goldline. They should have Atlas Goldline races
I'm willing to bet, if you electrify these Goldlines with a battery, and keep the traditional paint and design (absolutely keep the old details) you would sell millions. (I would allow solid cranks and no cotterpins, but the look must be the same, not destroyed like Enfield)
It is about 30 years old videos. . Today india is different. . If you look computers you can easily understand its about 90's footage. Top cycle producers in the world..love my india😊

@@Hillary Clintub I thought the technique was interesting because I never saw it before and it seemed to get a good result and shape of the area being painted ( looked like a thick porcelain type of paint).

Имам спомени за Атлас в България от преди около 50 години. Много здрави и елегантни велосипеди. Още се намират в продажба на старо като ретро велосипеди. Харесвам Атлас.
To everyone saying this is a ruthless country, this and most other similar bicycle factories around the developing world are the heritage of Colonialism. Raleigh of England built most of the factories and introduced the labor practices. Let's be real about who is ruthless.
This is just old fashioned factory floor production. These people are factory workers, no more or less. They put on no airs. They work at the bottom of their trade. They are poor people with families to feed and no education. There is no ladder for them to climb, there is no advancement, there is no suggestion box. Many have only the cloths on their backs. There is no union there is no OSHA, there is no cafeteria. They earn a pittance by the sweat of their brow. You would have to fight them hard to take their job from them. I salute them and their efforts.
The Asian countries that border the sea employ thousands of men in the ship breaking industry. They die by the hundreds every year from horrible accidents to inhuman to describe here. There are thousands of men waiting to take their place in the heat and flame and chemical poisons that are part of the work. They work beneath tons of rusted steel held up only by decrepit cables and worn out machinery. I salute these men.
People complaining about the miserable condition of the workers plz understand: its the only option they have, no job, no land,but 4-6 kids to feed also this video is about 20 years old.
My thought exactly. But sometimes it's hard to believe the level of ancient computer and software that's ran in certain places, and since it never broke they never changed it. This video could easily be from the early 2000's, maybe even later!
A lot of these comments seem to be coming from pampered people. If you have ever done work like construction, painting, auto mechanics, plumbing then you would know that you and your clothes get filthy all day long. Your clothes look like rags after a few months, your nails are almost always dirty, you sweat, you stink, and all that doesn't matter because you have a job to do and you do it. These bikes look well made and the workers take pride in their product. They are doing the kind of work that our great grandfathers did in America to build our nation and give all these modern day snow flakes the leisure and wealth to sit around playing video games all day. When America squanders the advances given to us by the hard workers of the past we will have to work just as hard as these people to catch up again.
I think Atlas company must respect his workers, see how they work with No safety shoes, No Helmet, No company clothes. This poor people have no choice they must work for there family, I think Atlas company must do something for this poor workers. GIVE RESPECT TAKE RESPECT.
Lots of pokes in the comments but this is an industrious country despite a lack of high tech in some industries. Their feelings don't get constantly hurt, they're not sueing each other for crap claims, they get up and go to work.
agree. Most comment here are very eurocentristic. Those people feel connected to their lives. It's not always easy, but it their lives. No one rules about them. Many of them feel content with how the live.
When you look at the standards that they need to work in most would be discussed to some point. But if you turn the clock back in time you would quickly see what we consider developed countries like ours in the west doing things the exact same way. Back when our parents and grandparents worked in the exactly the same factories. I still remember when i was young my uncle was happy when he got himself a job working at the local Ford Factory. Ford was always well known for paying well but they expected you to work . And the working conditions were not so much different to what you see here.
I agrees - I saw many old documentaries of many industries of developed countries :-(, however, things are changing rapidly in India with working standards & workers safety standards being monitored for organised sectors atleast . Un-organised sectors still play with workers life though :-(
I like this, jobs for all, just like the UK was as I remember. A living wage, not much pressure, carry on, don't look as though you enjoy it, but get a wage at the week end. Just like the UK was in the 60's-70's. ,😐😉
The problem is when they do that, buy the safety gear it costs a lot of money, and then the price is no longer cheap for those bikes, I am from Holland Europa, and back in the days we worked here also like that, but laws and unions make that impossible, so now all that kind of work is made in country's like India, i dont approve it, dont't get me wrong! But thats the fact, what do we want, cheap bikes, or safety....and i know the answer what the commen people in the world would say, i want that cheap bike.....
@@Ron0181sad to know!! anyway, it is more to profit earnings for the maker!! greed!! in actual, it won't cost em a bomb if the company were to implement...
@@burnkee5035 amount of workers employed rack up the cost. modernization and robotization kills jobs. if they go up to the western standards, at least 70% of workers will be fired and unable to find employment and therefore ability to feed a families...
@@Ron0181 If you don't approve, then why are you justifying about costs. You see only monetary costs, what about safety and hygiene. You are worried that the outsourced third world will hike the price of the product, right? Isn't that selfish greed and goes against the spirit of "prosper thy neighbor" ?
There is another billion people to take ones place. And as long as we can get inexpensive products we don't give a shit. Boycotting doesn't do a damn thing. At most it might close a factory but that just takes food from their mouthes and somebody else gets their job. Its how things are. Our cheap bike still feeds them and they are thankful.
Jo a worker frame brazing kar rahe hain iska temperature kitna jyada hota hai ki vahan per 1 minut karna bahut mushkil ho jata hai aur itne temperature bhi log vahan per 8 se 12 ghante duty dhanyvad
Why do people criticise so much, firstly this is an old film, the factory is very hot so work wearing vest and how much different do you think this operation is to the western world, you just assume when you really don’t know.
Workers are wearing ISO certified uniforms its visible in this film. What does ISO certification agency and Industrial safety dept says about this unit?
I had an Indian bike when I lived in Kenya in the 70’s. The fellow who sold it to my dad said we could pick out any color we wanted, as long as it was black. Lol. Omg. It was the heaviest bike in the world. Iron.
These guys are real bike builders a person has their hands on each piece every step during made process i really hope they are paid great wages for what they do. Compared to all machine built bikes which is junk if there were Atlas bikes sold in US i would buy one. I know these bikes are real expensive there for regular citizens
That was 20 years ago.The bikes are many times more expensive now and you get them in a box and you will be lucky to find a decent cycle mechanic to balance the wheels spokes right as you see in the video,independent shops do it but its poorly done.
I admire these people !!! without shoes with metal? without glasses in the chromium-plating bathroom? I wonder where are the accident prevention rules ??
The selling price is 30$ and buyer can use these for 30 years without issues.Again th workers are getting a living and they are happy with what they are getting.What is your problem. Keep all thos $hit with your own country. You have all the rules and now how corona is spreading there?So rules never make things safe.
@@carsreview7729 Feel better about writing curse words childishly to denigrate someone else's opinions? India will not improve unless you learn to take constructive criticism and improve accordingly.

And yes - rules do make things safe - as long as they are enforced.

@@georgecarlinn6288 It's not that it's good quality, it's just that it's mechanically simple enough that it will keep working long after it has worn out. I bet they assemble them with minimal grease, out of spec bearings, and spokes made from cooked spaghetti, the only reason they hold up so well is because of just how much of their cheap materials (and weight) they have to pump into these things to make them adequate for the abuse they get.
@@Metal-Possum anyways why do you care, you have not been here, never used one, just making baseless assumptions, anybody can see how well the production is being done.
No safety gear, tattered clothing, direct skin-to-chemical contact. If you are injured, you will most likely get fired. And if you go to the hospital, you have to pay first for service. That applies even if you are dying. There is no medical insurance. There is no accountability. If you complain, you get fired. The government has regulations but does not enforce anything unless the case makes national headlines. And most bureaucrats can be bribed. The workers make a pittance as can be seen from the clothing. Welcome to 21st century India: Incredible India!

Wish Atlas will do comeback in coming future. ....
I've never expected seeing anything like pouring paint with a mug. Amazing anyway.
The jug paint at 7:30 very nice ! learnt something new!
It's sad that company has closed temporarily, I owned Atlas cycle during my teenage days.
the painting process at 7:50 is pretty unique
Absolutely....and very satisfying to watch.

I have to say that I liked the way they add the white trim paint that was clever.
The rest of this sort of speaks for itself.

It was reflective paint. That's why it is so thick. Well, they had a spot welder, so there is some electricity ;)
And the pinstriping guy is good too.
Yep me too, definitely caught my eye
Healthy environments! Clean! I love the paint system to dip fenders and hands!
hm..these bikes runs better than your Giant, specialized, or trek 's. The selling price is 30$ and buyer can use these for 30 years without issues.
I liked the way he add the white paint 👍
These bikes serve the family for at least two generations. I changed my chinese bike 2 times in last 8 years that too pleasure riding in springs and summers.
In the childhood I thought how they paint like perfectionist painter of the rear mudguard!?....and i watched this 7:20....🤣🤣🤣
