Inside the Factory-Bicycles
I just saw part of this program—they walk thru the Brooks Saddle plant and show how the saddles are made. It’s on again at 11:00 Eastern.

One of my favorite videos on YouTube is Ride Of My Life. It is where a guy builds his dream bike and tours the factories that make the components that go on said dream bike.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

Toured the Peugeot plant at Valentigny in '74 and the Puch plant in Graz in '79, each during a bike tour. Also worked in a factory. I'd rather tour them.

I’ve seen a few of the vids on You Tube about that but believe they were dated. Was this tour at present when they are owned by an Italian company?
