Doing some research and came across this video. Thought you all might enjoy watching mass production bikes go together.

Pretty damn cool. Amazing that mass market for the time still meant all hand built. Simply inconceivable now

I like the part where the guy on the high-wheeler was holding off traffic with his hand... funny how things haven't changed in almost 100 years...

I have a 3 speed Columbia out in the mini barn.

One of my favorite programs is "How it's made" on the Discovery channel. Thx for the link.

Not inconceivable in, say...China...except the women lacing the wheels are probably 15 years old and wearing prison smocks.
There isn't a smiley face I can use on this one:o
But, that aside: great link, and thanks for the entertainment!!
