Hey all, Check out the mancave addition video. Shows the new vintage bicycle showroom.

Thanks

Very nice, thanks for posting.

I have been trying to figure out how you can sell a Hand made Italian NOS frameset for 700?

Thanks, after showing this to my wife, my eight bikes and 10 x 10 man cave has been put into proper perspective.

where's that smiley for "green with envy"??

Just wonderful,.. like Christmas morning for us bike nerds.
What is the last bike shown in the video? Looks like it might be a Raleigh Pro, judging by the bands on the seat tube? Very nice regardless (which also applies to every other bike, to be honest).

The Raleigh display of the construction details is a lot of fun too. A nice reminder of what we used to see in the shops back in the 70's, where folks needed to be educated about the details that went into a good bike.

Again, very nice! Thanks for posting the videos as well, subscribed! You should charge admission and give tours!

Very nice! I'm already a subscriber to your channel, and this one already came up in my feed. Great stuff!

Really nice!
But could I give some constructive crit?
It's too clean.
You need a frig and a microwave
You need about a 55inch HDTV.

funny you should say that. I do ahve a drink fridge, I like it clean. and through the bike display window that you seei n the vid is a 65 incher

Alll the best

"Thou shalt not covet" comes to mind.

Very nice! I never tire of seeing that.

I have two man-caves: my elder son's former bedroom (about 10 x 11 ft.), which I quickly commandeered as a much-needed home office for my consulting practice the minute he moved out, and the 2-car garage I had designed and added to the house a couple of years after his little brother came along. I have to share the latter with the cars, which I push out of the way when I need to work on cars, bikes, electronics, carpentry, whatever. I also make heavy use of bicycle storage hooks (seems appropriate) screwed into the rafters, so that I can hang bikes and spare wheels above the cars.

After adding the new garage, we had converted the original one into a family room / bonus room and later "teen room." My wife, a pictorial artist (oils and water colors), now has it as her art and ballet studio / woman-cave.

Everyday I sit in my freezing cold garage this winter in full-on arctic gear to admire and work on my bikes, I'm going to be thinking about you admiring your bikes in your leather recliner, sipping a glass of 20 year old Scotch, and smoking a cigar, wearing your favorite comfortable lounge wear and finishing with a nap with the heat on at a nice comfortable 72 degrees.

uhh....do you ride them?

Do you have a sign posted outside?

Awesome step back in time. Thanks for sharing.

My last house i had a family room in the basement that fit a few bikes, very tight and a 10x9 workspace next to the furnace. I purchased a ranch 3 years ago for two reasons, first, I want to grow old here and second a 2500 square foot english basement! I knew that the bikecave would have to be built. I'd say take over the family room!!! LOL

JJ

Good for you man, that's a nice set up and some beautiful bikes. Any Guerciottis?

Very nice , thanks for showing us around .

Look at that, all of your bikes in one place, what a great idea. I have mine in the garage, 2 sheds and the basement.

yes. early in the video you may see the red one on the bottom level... When I say,, some Italian bikes.. Basso on top and Geuc on the bottom..

Thanks

JJ

Fancy that, they all look to be my size
