The best thing about these clips is John. Natural enthusiasm and real interest, with people skills that put people at ease. Starting with “bikes are cool,” and then proving it.

Congrats on the win, John! In retirement, five or six hours of sleep per night is my norm. But I compensate by catching a cat nap or two during the day. Love that Motobecane, one of my favorite vintage makes. My own is a fully rebuilt (by me) 1980 Grand Sprint, made of Vitus 888 and marketed as a training bike. Not valued by collectors, but precious to me since my own 1979 model, which I worked an entire summer to buy while I was an undergrad and rode thousands of miles. Sadly, that bike was stolen during one of my deployments with the US Navy. I was happy to welcome its replacement.

1st place ,Congrats John.Always nice to win with a Schwinn.

Hey John great video. Love hearing all the history of bikes by the owners. Definitely looking forward to your next video. All the best! Oh and congratulations on you win with the Paramount.

Wonderful! Everything, wonderful! Thank you.

Wow great event John some beautiful bikes there thanks for filming and showing these wonderful examples..😊 ❤ Pete 🚴🏻😊😍👍

Thanks John !! Great video & always educational 👍🏻🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️ …you make it fun to ride along on your adventures !

Holy smokes those were some beautiful looking bicycles. That you for sharing and congratulations on your bicycle getting an award. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

Great video! Thanks for showing us around the show.

Congrats on the weight loss John, keep it up. Luv that Bianchi 🥰

That French yellow 'camping bike' had a desmodromic derailleur. Just saying that word is cool! My favorite youve shown!

Spectacular ! Thanks.

great video - thanks I bet the smell of oil, rubber and grease there was amazing? It's the odour of 70s bike shop that evokes so many memories of Saturday mornings and waiting for my LBS, Led Davies in Morriston, Swansea, UK, to open while drooling over the Reynolds 531 bikes in the window 🙂 Happy days indeed!

So much cool stuff! Robbie's insane Colnago is just incredible! It looks like something Elvis might have ridden. :-) The blue cromovelato Magni is similarly amazing. ICS did a handful of curious little tweaks to the components, which is a lot of fun. All of Gary's bikes, like his Jo Routens, have been a lot of fun to look at, with all sorts of novel and fascinating little gadgets. Where does he find this stuff?? Very fun to see Jeffrey Bock again, as well as Doug Fattic, Harvey, Marcus, etc. Great folks.

Congrats on the award! Putting this on the calendar for 2026.

Thanks john,for the video.

Congratulations!

Thanks John. This was a great view of a great bunch of people and their bikes. I love seeing the many old friends and some new ones as well too. There's so much to learn. I see some of your commenters are still newbies. They haven't figured a lot of it out, but that's the fun challenge. Learning about the ICS from Switzerland, or custom builders from all around the world, there really are wonderful, wonderful craftworks here. Thanks so much for showing us all that wonderful event, wish I could have made it. Thanks, Dale

Soooo sick!!! I'm into converting vintage bikes to single speed/fixed gear but these are insanely beautiful! The best thing about older bikes is the swag!!!!. Soooooo many different colors, shades, and tones with complimentary components to match. Everything is black today and it sucks! The only vintage bike I have that's untouched and "rare" is a lotus super pro aero. The oval tubing and color is sick!! It is missing the original wheels but that's it. Oh and one bar end cap.

incredible craftwork, attention to detail & dedication by all the frame builders, collectors... the whole community. inspiring.

Thanks John!

Great video John! Congrats on the win and so appreciate you spending time on the Motobecane, Teledyne and that chrome Ritchey track bike! Looking forward to seeing your Volare, which btw is my size and I’ve been looking for one for a long time…just sayin.

Dream event! If I lived a few thousand miles nearer ... .

Wow, what beautiful memories. In 1980 I bought a CUEVAS frame, built and signed by Francisco Cuevas. He had a shop in New York. He was a Spanish builder. It is outfitted with Campagnolo Nuevo Record components and some Cinelli and Phil Wood bottom bracket. I also have 2 sets of wheels. One with sew-ups and the other clincher tires. I haven't ridden it in decades. Has anybody ever heard of him?

Some truly beautiful bikes on display there John, thanks for sharing your trip 👌🏼🙌🏼

Superb. Congrats on first place with the old Schwinn John. I need to stop drooling now.

That Hetchins...WOW.

My Pinarello Treviso was my first road bike.

Awesome video! 👍

MAGNI = mahn-yee Thanks for making and sharing this!!!

Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to go when I'm back in the U.S.!

Totally excellent. Rode my first race in 1968..love the early evolution of bike tech-Campy-Custom frames etc,etc. Raced on Campy Record..C Record..and STILL riding Super Record 11 speed. Recently built a 653 Bob Jackson-11 speed Campy Record and swapped my Pinarello f8 for a 2014 Argon Titanium-Campy Super Record…the latest Road Bike tech …just a step or two too far in my opinion…appreciate your passion and content.

I really wanted to go, but weather didn’t cooperate and Spring planting on our farm got pushed back. Thanks for showcasing some of the best to your viewers.

What a video! Keep ‘em coming, John! Congrats on the win. Wish I could go next year but I refuse to get on an airliner, and private charter just isn’t practical. Here I am talking about practical and I own an exotic bike. Nothing we do with bicycles has anything to do with “practical,” I was holding my breath and just waiting for you to say ‘Three Rensho”. You didn’t disappoint. Of course the awards announcer….

Thanks John for making this great video ...amazing

Thanks for the video John , great stuff !!!

Awesome show!

AMF was a sports company in Canada in the 80's. Marinoni's should have a serial number under the bottom bracket. If you send it to them, they can usually give some info or build sheet. Also they will paint and restore their old frames. More info on their website about how to contact them. I have a Marinoni Piuma from about 1999/2000. They emailed a copy of the original build order. Just for asking.

Cool! I am with you when people ask me "why"!

Para para paradise...!

Well, I guess you did win an award! Congrats.🎉 Thanks for another fun video. Putting 2026 on the calendar.

Here in Adelaide, someone organizes a classic bike show during the Tour Downunder.

B e a utiful 👌

I think the Hetchins is referred to as a Curly Hetchins Vade Macum! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The guy at 7:09 is HAWT.

John, no Richard Sachs. Have you met him?

So many bikes I have never heard of, but no Schwinn sports tourer? Is the paramount really that much better?

Nice but where are the aero carbon stallions?

Are there any famous good female frame builders?

USA 🇺🇸 Please take note 📝 It's "CAMPAG", not "CAMPY!!!" 🙄 "CAMPY" is a person who is light on their feet, so to speak. 🧚‍♂️ 😮 Such as, "That bloke is as camp as a row of tents..." 😂

🫵 Oi...👁️👁️

Are women allowed or only white guys over 60 ? Being an old guy myself I do appreciate the bikes from my past.
