In the sixties , a Claud butler with campagnolo gears was the bike to aim for ,, but as a school kid it was always a dream . Great video and a wonderful workshop , 🤗
I loved this. It should be a little longer with an interview. As a bike mechanic with 20 years experience I've helped restore a few bikes over the years. Looks like he had fun doing it too. Thanks.
Man it's my dream to have a shop like this. All the tools possible. All the old frames and spare parts labeled in boxes. All cables and different colored housings. New tires of all sizes.
I just can't get enough of this vid. Makes me want to go out to the shop and start polishing bits and throw a bike together. Perhaps in the morning. Ok, I've watched it a few more times and noticed you abandon the center pulls and opt for the side pulls in the end, good choice! : D

I know I'm a little late to the party but I've only just found this video, I have a Claud Butler frame that is exactly the same as this one except it is silver, i used for long distance weekend cycling, 200km Audax events etc, Ah memories ! now the frame, along with a other lesser frames, currently sits up the loft with heaps of wheels, bars, chainsets and other bicycle gear.
The frame they've used is from a 1981 Claud Butler (tube investments )majestic , which was a touring bike. I have just restored one myself. Shame they didn't use the weinman centre pulls which it would've originally had. However nice to see bikes resurrected if modified slightly.
Vintage derailleurs are like jewelry. Love to see the greasing and repacking of bearings. That's how it was back when mechanics actually fix stuff instead of "replacing".
Watched this so many times its got a feel good vibe going on and makes work not feel like work i love working on bikes but was careful not to do it as a living and spoil that pleasure. Would have been tempted to work there though if its like that all the time though lol.
Good video and lovely restoration, my only question is what happened to the beautiful weinman centre pull brakes, there in the middle then gone, much more in keeping with the Claud Butlers I remember , was a real bragging point to have centre pull brakes, side pulls were for Raleigh arena's. Also I think you made the chain fractionally short as the jockey wheel looks stressed when your only on 3rd at the back even if you are on the large at the front, otherwise lovely to see.
Absolutely beautiful guys. I just love those classic old bikes, but please put an extra link or two in that chain (2:57). :p Loving the sound track too. :)
Nice bike! But what a bloke: ordering a bike with foot cages, and coming with flip flops to get it... I have a vintage Jaques Anquetil waiting to be restored. Going to be nice.
This video is almost meditative to watch! Just wow! Also, would appreciate to know what kind of clear you applied at the end of refurbishing the frame?
The only thing I keep seeing these kids doing wrong on the restore is when the are putting the handle bar tape on instead of starting at the brake end start your tape at the middle so when you are done the plug holds it in so you don't have to use black tape.they start at the wrong end.we always started where they finish so it tucks inside the bar and the plug holds it." Forever"
This is true of some bikes but depending on the tape (eg cork) it can be better to start at the ends as doing the opposite makes it more likely to 'flap off' at the edges when in use. I feel like a diagram would explain better though! In any case, yep, with the 'harder' tapes such as Benotto or vinyl I'm totally with you.

I keep watching this video over and over again. It really does inspire me and cheers me up at the same time. Thanks!

Love to see things of beauty !
You have preserved ART !
Thank you for not Re-paint the frame, you keep the spirit :), thanks for share your great job.
Great job, another classic bike saved
Beautiful!... Wonderful respectful resto! Bravo! Keep up the fine work. Get on, get out get going! Ride a bike.
I love you Melbourne, don’t ever change.
Fantastic, what attention to detail. Master craftsmen at work. Love the patina created on the handlebar leather to show it's age
This guy is badass . my home garage is my shop ..the Classic vintage are great Get them and restore them.
nothin like steel ... big labor of love
3:05 That is 100% the correct way to pose on a bicycle. Full points.
Mullet, tash, shorts and scholls would complete the 70s look. But yeah... the only way to pose on a bike
I have a Claud Butler I'm doing up @ the min, wish I had as many parts as you guys. Nice job Dudes. TFS, G :)
would love to work in a place like this
+ThatWolffe me too
Same.
It would be like a sex maniac working in a brothel. I'm sending my CV right now.
@@stevevolz2164 That's BicyclePorn Hub for you...really want to work there.
Cool vid and a great shop, been there, they have an awesome collection of classic bikes for sale etc. Wish more bike shop were like this.
This is a Claud Butler majestic from around 1980, I own one of these bikes completely original and unrestored!
More of this please! Beautiful work. Hands up!!!
My man did a fabulous job on this bike. 🚲

This is art
Bravo, Great Video. This is what Cycling is all about.
I like that he used one of those riveted Shimano freewheels -- I have them on a couple of bikes, and they work well -- smooth, and nearly silent.
The frame they've used is from a 1981 Claud Butler (tube investments )majestic , which was a touring bike. I have just restored one myself. Shame they didn't use the weinman centre pulls which it would've originally had. However nice to see bikes resurrected if modified slightly.
Proud to be an owner of one😊
You guys are simply amazing !!
...and fu*k , the collection of spare equipment you have in your workshop 😍

Steel, balanced, like all things, should be!
You guy's are awesome 👍👍 please do some more videos

Asome video and nice build
Bring back the other video... That one was the best!!!
Vintage derailleurs are like jewelry. Love to see the greasing and repacking of bearings. That's how it was back when mechanics actually fix stuff instead of "replacing".
This video is so dank. Wish you would make more.
Great job Brother

Anyone else notice he starts with center pull brakes then switches to sidepulls?
Yes, I had the same bike in 1974 and it had centre pull brakes fitted. Was a little disappointed when it ended up with side pulls
Great stuff! Inspirational.

Amazing...
