- Vintage and antique bicycles at the Classic Cycle bike shop in Bainbridge Island, WA. They have a museum in the shop. This is a GREAT shop with cool old bikes and bike memorabilia all over the walls. The employees are great with some having worked with professional cycling teams. Great stories. I highly recommend visiting this shop if you are in the area. It's just a ferry ride from Seattle, and the shop is a short walk from the ferry terminal.
Here is their website. They have more information on all the bikes.

Hey I got old Raleigh sportif 10 speed light blue crome spokes know what year may be in trying research it can't find it
I just randomly rumbled in this bike shop when I was visiting USA for a business trip. This is the nicest bike shop I have seen so far.
There's a guy in my town with a collection like this in a converted garage. But he's a bit of a recluse and it was just by happenstance that about 15 years ago he showed us the collection. He wouldn't allow pics unfortunately but it was the first time I saw "10 speed" style drop bar bikes from before WWII. Mind blown but I have no proof, lol. Way cool video, thanks for sharing. I hope to visit next time I'm in the Seattle area.
Washington is all about bikes and this is exemplary of the state-wide appreciation of bikes of any genre. The museum is off the beaten path per se, but would most assuredly be worth the beautiful ferry ride and the Bainbridge folks are among the most hospitable in our beautiful state. Seems like about half of my new customer base are recent arrivals and one of their first "must haves", or wants is to get a bike. Bike folks are without a doubt among the easiest going and friendly people on the planet. Not a coincidence I feel because bicycling is good for your head as well as your heart.
Wow beautiful classic bicycles
For anybody who is interested, the Flying Scot was the Glasgow, Scotland hand built frame marque. They were made by Rattray's bicycle shop. Most club riders in the Glasgow area would have ridden Scots up through the early 70s. I remember going into Rattray's one summer with my grandfather who was a bigwig in the Scottish Cyclist's Union and he had one that I would guess was made in the 1950s. My father inherited it and I may ship it back from the UK to the US if it is still available ( didn't want to swoop in like a vulture when my dad died but some time has passed now ). It was made as a "clubman" frame so it has clearances for mudguards ( fenders ), larger tires and, unfortunately, 27-1/4 wheels. This means that with 700c wheels, long reach calipers are needed and braking is not what it could be. In those days, people didn't have the money for a time trial bike, a road racing bike and a tourer.
My dad would only buy us used bikes as kids and of course we wanted "brand new" bikes. So my brother had a used Claude Butler but didn't appreciate what he had. It was stolen when he stopped to go into a bathroom in town ( he might have wanted it to be stolen to be honest ). Clearly somebody else knew the value of the bike. He still didn't get a new bike so if he had a plan, it backfired.
There is just something wonderful about a contraption that will allow a man to move at 15 or more miles per hour for hours on end under his own steam. The feeling you have when you are bike fit is tremendous.
@@lobiedosser You could while the day away in bike shops. Pop in for an inner tube and miss your dinner yabbering away.
Thanks for bringing us along with you. Some of us might not get a chance to see them in person...Having a friend show us the bikes and talk about each one is almost as good as being there....Great video RJ
Nice to see they have an actual bike rack out front. Very few retail or public building in the US have those anymore.
thanks for spending the time to put this great video together !
Thank you RJ... a great pleasure to watch. I just loved the italian Stucchi Monza... sooo beautiful machine!!!
OMG....I do not know If I had to choose one which one it would be, some very special bikes there. A lot of very cool bikes with so much history in one place...thanks for sharing Andy
OMG, crazy stuff!
Cool you that are highlighting local bike shops who are so passionate and help pass the enthusiam on and support their customers and community. I live in Bremerton near there.
Speechless....thank you for sharing
Ultra cool bike shop/museum
Very nice tour and a great look at some historic bike design ideas. The curved seat tube has been around longer than I imagined, Schwinn featured it on the 1974 Sprint and Paramount frames, they discontinued the design after 1975. Thanks for sharing
Also my favorite bike in there, right now
The Legnano is the same as that used by Gino Bartali
The one liver system is Cambio Paris-Roubaix and the dual one is Cambio Corsa
Thanks RJ. I've lived in Seattle for decades and didn't know this place was there! It's the destination of my next day ride.
wow that cyclops bike at 5:38 looks so organic, ive never seen a bike like this, beautiful !
Thanks for sharing these photos and making all the videos. Useful stuff.
Great video and intersting museum.
I know a museum in the netherlands, they 've got only MTB but really cool stuff. Best wishes from germany.
wow that 1936 Monark Silver King...Lovely old bikes!
Very interesting museum great to watch
My first real bike was a Malvern Star. SunTour group, DiaCompe centre-pulls, gumwalls on 27s. Ah, memories.
3:31 The dramatic back sweep of that seat tube is just ... WOW !!!
I like this video. It's nice when you add bits of detail. Thanks!
Brilliant I have to come and see this shop
7:54 ha.. I have that gary fisher sign also...
Glad you posted this video.. I would have never seen these awesome bikes
First time I saw a lawnmower bike, didn’t even come into my mind if it really exist but it’s a creative way of linking bike into lawn crafts….
If you're ever in Seattle, check out the Recycled Cycles shop on Boat Street in the U-District. It's maybe not quite at this level, but they have a lot of interesting vintage bikes hanging from the ceiling, and a case full of cool vintage components that aren't for sale.
I have been there.
Saw something similar too this in Pittsburgh. That place specialized in schwinn muscle bikes but cool none the less. Nice photos enjoyed the tour
Bicycle Heaven. Someone else mentioned it. I will have to check it out sometime.
Just stumbled on this video. That Cyclops is great. They were built by a guy here in Toronto named Mike Mulholland, who did a lot of custom race bikes for people in the area. He's long since passed, but they were beautiful bikes with lots of interesting details, and he did some really great paintwork as well. He did a wishbone seat stay design that was pretty neat for the time period when he built it.
That is a cool bike! :D
really cool shop!
Very cool video. Thanks for posting
outstanding video rj great bike collection my GOSH..
Thomas Matta it was a museum dumb @$$
Wow. Im a washingtonian who hadnt a clue of this shops existence until now. Crazy to think its been under my nose all this time. Great video.
+Thore Bjork Tell them RJ The Bike Guy sent you.
RJ The Bike Guy Ahaha. Will do.
Super cool! Love that Schwinn Phantom! Thanks for posting Bro!
I had an old mid or early 70's Remington 3 speed bicycle but I sold it a couple years back. If I knew of a place like this I'd gave it to them. It was kind of neat.
Great museum
Hi, I have been watching your videos for a while, and they are great. The first bike in your video is a Galetti from Milano Italy, I live about 25 miles from there. Galetti bikes are still made today, but the bikes made from 1920 and before his death in 1949 are quite expensive to buy even if they are in poor conditions. Carlo Galetti was a well known bike racer of my area in the first 1900, during his career he raced for Atala, Bianchi and Legnano his nickname was ... Squirrel of the channels..... because he was very swift! Thank you for your videos ........Carlo
Awesome video! Love the GTs
Thanks for sharing, RJ. Great stuff!
My Grandpa's 1935(ish) 'France Sport' has one of those strange rear derailleurs that you picked up on early in the vid. It's a Super Champion Brevette SDGD. Really cool design but it can be a right pain in the ass to adjust and ride with.
Great video, really interesting I'll never be able to visit so thanks RJ for sharing
Many thanks RJ. So Cool! How can some people 'dislike' this video???
How sweet! My next vacation. Could spend days just looking around. Hopefully, they allow touching?
I would ask first. Many of the bikes are mounted fairly high.
🙌 great video, thanks for sharing passion!
really like the gts as well!
Awesome, i gotta check that place out one day.
very cool, merci !
I've seen you fix, build & rebuild lots of bikes, but I've Never seen you ride one. I really would like you to make a video about riding bikes. 👍👌✌️

Thank you for this. I truly appreciate it.
Pretty cool info, love the old bikes got one my self
Those are some cool bike!
RJ, I'm getting ready to restore a 1975 Bridgestone Shinestar. I'm gonna have a question or two for you about restoring this bike. I'll post at your website.
Circa 1993 Rev-Xs on a 1993 Colnago, what could be more appropriate? I've got a set on a restored Panasonic DX-4000 (1986) and it looks "badass".
thanks for the tour, respect!
Surprised to see a Malvern Star, I didn't think they were anywhere outside of Australia.
thanks much for the tour!
The applehans with wooden rims ? Craftmanship.
Very nice RJ I've got a 1999 get xcr quite similar to that GT mtb
Get... No I mean gt
Campy cambio corsa and cambio paris rubax, also cambio vittoria margita. The Legano is with cambio corsa. The same has been riden by Gino Bartali. 2 time TDF winner, Giros and classics
oh my goodness. look at em bikes.
Cool collection. Malvern Star the a in Malvern is pronounced like an o in Australia
I'm sad I didn't know this shop existed. I just left Seattle after living there for 6 years. I hated the city and the people so much that I don't think I'll ever go back to be able to see this shop.
A beautiful place filled with assholes
the spinergy wheels on that '93 colnago came out in 1990, i believe. seem period-appropriate to me.
Period appropriate but aesthetically dissonant I would say. The frame was still classic in proportions and the wheels would be more typically paired with some kind of "aero" frame.
Are the owners a couple of brothers? I may have raced against them in 1972. Can’t remember their names. The guys I’m thinking of were from Washington State, and I believe they lived on Mercer Island. Sorry, it has just been too many decades to remember much more than this.
Wasn't that the Kestrel model that if you crashed wrong and twisted the frame a little the down tube would pop.
Sorry, I do not know.
I love old bikes I ran my bike shop in Phila from 1970-90. Kind of closed up moved down to Florida go maybe start back up. Thought about buying some old run down shop and moving it to a more productive area. I did go back into it in 1991 when I found a old time racer who sold me 6-7 old bikes and boxes of parts. Two bikes where early Rudge scorcher’s from 1895-96 time frame. I had a couple of 1920’s -30’s racers. But my favorite one has been a Holdsworth cyclone racer made in 1948-49. Total one off bike. Very hard to find parts or help. Where can I get hold of the reamers for inside of the fork. The early 50’s cinelli handle won’t fit raw inside never reamed to fit a stem into. The the handle bar stem also needs to be cleaned up inside. Could you help me find the parts I need.
I don't have any secret sources. You have to shop around. Try ebay. craigslist, facebook marketplace, etc.
cool video RJ!
hey i notice a skyway wheel in one corner of a shot, can you look at the old bmx's next time :) plz
RJ, have you ever been to the bicycle museum in Chicago? I don't know if it's still there. I was there in 1996. The most interesting bike, IMO, was a dual shaft two wheel drive bike. Built maybe late 1800's? Can't remember.
Not yet.
Thk for Video
The wheels on the Colnago are of the same era as that bike. I agree that it clashes with the aesthetic, but at least historically, they aren't out of place.
Those Spinergy wheels are quite vintage. from 90s
We need more repair videos
This bike was really easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
What was that bmx with white skyway wheels?,i've heard that bsa bikes were made in the raleigh factory,one of the most collectible bsa's is the paratrooper bikes (that fold in half) 1940's vintage??
nice
Rj the man.
What the gear? 2:07 Crank one time per km? 84:12 omg! Is it build from circular saw disk?
It was for autopacing. Riding behind a car and drafting. ruclips.net/video/CoUmgMhn2iY/видео.html
If I worked in that shop no work would get done for all the gawking... so awesome!
Hey I have a Sears bicycle 10 speed Idk the year on this one but. Its 236.474340 I hope you can figure out the year of my 10 speed and also I would love to see.more.vids lile this
You are going to have to do your own research. But being a Sears bike, it probably doesn't matter much. They are not collectible at all. Sears sold very low end bikes.
Backlit? Turn your flash to "on".
It was hard to get pictures in the place.
I've either owned written of have friends or having my collection 1/5 of what I've seen in this video
Hey RJ, I have a 1967 Claud Butler Super Courier with original paint
Incredible video. It was like pornography. I feel like I shouldn't have watched it in the office. Many thanks!
3:27 thats skyway mag
Im a young man. Only 19 but when I saw that gt I thought I was very old
it's not old, you are young ;)
thanks
we don't even start living until 25..... .. you will probably get this after 40...
Got a '72 Peugeot in my garage, bought it for 100$
Looking open shop in Auburn wa, close to mount Rainer help me tips ideas all got idea dream got 7k to start up got a location i love cycling
I know Auburn. I grew up in Federal Way about two blocks from TJ. Do a lot of research. Is there a need for one? You will need a lot more than 7K. About inventory costs, etc. Most new businesses fail.
Hollow, aluminum helicopter rotors - highly suspicious story
Just FYI: Legnano is pronounced "LANE-YAH-no"
Re subbed. Joutube dumps subscriptions
I have Proflex Anymal 1997 all original parts including Kooka blue cranks and rim hydro magura breaks. Anyone interested? I still ride it as a commuter sometimes but would love to sell to collector or someone who will restore it. I am original owner, bought it in 1997. Parts worth more then whole bike but I don't feel like selling it piece by piece. It would be like taking apart an old friend. I own another 2 new bikes and really running out space.
Here is another muscle bike I'm not into them here is a Schwinn bike I'm
Not into them come on bro we get you think highly of your self cause your into roadbikes (racing bikes) we get it your a pro! But you don't have to Express yourself like a rookie, just enjoy the bikes!! If I could pick a bike it'll definitely be the Bridgestone mb zip
Man I want that!

Would you like some cheese with your wine ????
Hmm, 80.5 mph on a human powered bicycle is really hard to fathom. I would think the laws of physics would make that impossible.
You are wrong. It called paced cycling and basically you are getting help from wind resistance (the curse of all cyclists) by being behind a car with a board on the back.
Its VERY dangerous, and if you loose touch with the car in front you are off!
Take a look at ruclips.net/video/oRwstTugQ7Q/видео.html
Spinergy wheels are actually vintage...
I know. They look wrong on that bike. Not sure when they were added. The photo of that bike on their site has different wheels. classiccycleus.com/home/1993-colnago-titanio/
RJ The Bike Guy yeah thats true i know there where these kind of wheels on mtb in the 90s :D thanks for the link RJ and have a nice day :) greetings from germany
Up
Cyclists are the best customers. Why? Because as someone once said, “Nothing we do with bikes has anything to do with worth it.”
