pretty neat video. That show has done several bicycle parts. I have seen How It's Made - seats, carbon fiber frames, and wheels

[BeginnerCycling]

Good video -- my kids and I love that show.

That was a great video. The only thing I didn't like was the fact they showed someone using the hammered rivets on one saddle and then showed them attaching the back of the saddle to the frame using machine rivets as if both were used on a saddle. That was an editing issue.

I haven't seen this episode yet and i do like the show, but sometimes they just miss the mark completely with the editing. They once did a show on Getzen trumpets that I was very excited to see (I own and play a Getzen, its a great instrument), but they ended up spending 90% of the time making the bell and just skipped through the rest of the process. Even Getzen was shocked by the editing. Great show, but some of the episodes are just off.

Wow, I can't believe they spent most of the time on the bell, bizarre. I play trombone. I was on a ship and my friend is the musical director there and he had just picked up a Getzen bone and let me try it out. What an incredible instrument, best slide I have ever felt, simply amazing.

[edvard22]

Ya, getzen is famous for their valves and slides, and they spent the 90% of the time on the bell. I think there's an episode out there on the getzen trombone as well.

I have a Brooks. Now I want a trombone.

Love How It's Made... Got all episodes!!

Wow, custom builders will cringe when they see the steel bicycle video. I can't believe how cheaply they weld those frames together.
