Atlas Bicycle Factory in India

[@salahali8608]

My greetings to these great workers who produced this powerful and brilliant bike Atlas which I have had 25 years ago

[@ramkrishnanath92]

Wish Atlas will do comeback in coming future. ....

[@RahulRaj-fk8lg]

It's sad that company has closed temporarily, I owned Atlas cycle during my teenage days.

[@mebeasensei]

Love the lush paint work on the fenders, the dark burgandy, white base and gold pin stripe. I want one. Atlas Goldline. They should have Atlas Goldline races

[@mebeasensei]

I'm willing to bet, if you electrify these Goldlines with a battery, and keep the traditional paint and design (absolutely keep the old details) you would sell millions. (I would allow solid cranks and no cotterpins, but the look must be the same, not destroyed like Enfield)

[@gato549]

Bicicletas de excelente qualidade,uma produção muito grande, parabéns pelo belo trabalho 👏👏👍👍

The jug paint at 7:30 very nice ! learnt something new!

[@premdasyesudasan5778]

I've never expected seeing anything like pouring paint with a mug. Amazing anyway.

[@rishi11_]

It is about 30 years old videos. . Today india is different. . If you look computers you can easily understand its about 90's footage. Top cycle producers in the world..love my india😊

[@rudineilopesdesouza1899]

I think that Índia don't had cycling production but now can see mens work hard for the progress sadly we humans have limits and one wall between countries i believe that jah above ours acts in a earth good luck Índia😊👳

[@psg9119]

the painting process at 7:50 is pretty unique

[@arupdutta2202]

Absolutely....and very satisfying to watch.

[@shoestringeng6473]

I have to say that I liked the way they add the white trim paint that was clever. The rest of this sort of speaks for itself.

[@dubsydubs5234]

@Hillary Clintub Not sure efficiency counts for much there when they have people who work for nothing.

[@shoestringeng6473]

@@Hillary Clintub I thought the technique was interesting because I never saw it before and it seemed to get a good result and shape of the area being painted ( looked like a thick porcelain type of paint). I am sure there are many ways of accomplishing the same result, that method was so simple it was almost genius. I am not sure if that factory even had electric lol

[@SergeyPRKL]

It was reflective paint. That's why it is so thick. Well, they had a spot welder, so there is some electricity ;)

hm..these bikes runs better than your Giant, specialized, or trek 's. The selling price is 30$ and buyer can use these for 30 years without issues.

How do they put their work clothing on ??? Or have they not taken the first day uniforms off yet ???

[@ericlyngaas7745]

To everyone saying this is a ruthless country, this and most other similar bicycle factories around the developing world are the heritage of Colonialism. Raleigh of England built most of the factories and introduced the labor practices. Let's be real about who is ruthless.

Is the company still running?

[@BlueLineofthesky]

So many hard working skilled people living in such conditions....

[@sufianosman692]

The company or manufacturer should look also to the welfare of thier worker because the production will not work without them..how about the safety gear of your worker and benifit, safety first, before profit...WAKE UP OPPORTUNIST..THEY ARE HUMAN TOO..

[@alfiembra]

Judging by the version of Autocad program they are using this footage is from the early 1990’s, would be most surprised if it’s more recent.

[@Orgakoyd]

My thought exactly. But sometimes it's hard to believe the level of ancient computer and software that's ran in certain places, and since it never broke they never changed it. This video could easily be from the early 2000's, maybe even later!

[@premdasyesudasan5778]

Dear Management, kindly provide safety glasses for all your workers who are doing all that welding.

[@timmayer8723]

This is just old fashioned factory floor production. These people are factory workers, no more or less. They put on no airs. They work at the bottom of their trade. They are poor people with families to feed and no education. There is no ladder for them to climb, there is no advancement, there is no suggestion box. Many have only the cloths on their backs. There is no union there is no OSHA, there is no cafeteria. They earn a pittance by the sweat of their brow. You would have to fight them hard to take their job from them. I salute them and their efforts.

[@weldmachine]

When you look at the standards that they need to work in most would be discussed to some point. But if you turn the clock back in time you would quickly see what we consider developed countries like ours in the west doing things the exact same way. Back when our parents and grandparents worked in the exactly the same factories. I still remember when i was young my uncle was happy when he got himself a job working at the local Ford Factory. Ford was always well known for paying well but they expected you to work . And the working conditions were not so much different to what you see here.

[@CPatwal]

I agrees - I saw many old documentaries of many industries of developed countries :-(, however, things are changing rapidly in India with working standards & workers safety standards being monitored for organised sectors atleast . Un-organised sectors still play with workers life though :-(

[@SebastianSikano]

This is a great job, you should try to produce recumbent bikes

[@aaftabali5500]

Good product

[@milanesesepp3380]

I admire these people !!! without shoes with metal? without glasses in the chromium-plating bathroom? I wonder where are the accident prevention rules ??

[@carsreview7729]

The selling price is 30$ and buyer can use these for 30 years without issues.Again th workers are getting a living and they are happy with what they are getting.What is your problem. Keep all thos $hit with your own country. You have all the rules and now how corona is spreading there?So rules never make things safe.

[@karanjain5663]

@@carsreview7729 Feel better about writing curse words childishly to denigrate someone else's opinions? India will not improve unless you learn to take constructive criticism and improve accordingly. You're equating industrial safety with the spread of Covid - lease enlighten us about that logic. Because by that logic Covid must not have spread in India. And yes - rules do make things safe - as long as they are enforced.

[@RASHEEDKHAN-hj4ze]

Workers are wearing ISO certified uniforms its visible in this film. What does ISO certification agency and Industrial safety dept says about this unit?

[@lst1nwndrlnd]

ahh yes. soul crushing production. I wonder if they're hiring.

Why do people criticise so much, firstly this is an old film, the factory is very hot so work wearing vest and how much different do you think this operation is to the western world, you just assume when you really don’t know.

These guys are real bike builders a person has their hands on each piece every step during made process i really hope they are paid great wages for what they do. Compared to all machine built bikes which is junk if there were Atlas bikes sold in US i would buy one. I know these bikes are real expensive there for regular citizens

[@preetrocks1]

That was 20 years ago.The bikes are many times more expensive now and you get them in a box and you will be lucky to find a decent cycle mechanic to balance the wheels spokes right as you see in the video,independent shops do it but its poorly done.

[@burnkee5035]

the company should atleast provide em with proper uniform and safety gears...

[@Ron0181]

The problem is when they do that, buy the safety gear it costs a lot of money, and then the price is no longer cheap for those bikes, I am from Holland Europa, and back in the days we worked here also like that, but laws and unions make that impossible, so now all that kind of work is made in country's like India, i dont approve it, dont't get me wrong! But thats the fact, what do we want, cheap bikes, or safety....and i know the answer what the commen people in the world would say, i want that cheap bike.....

@@Ron0181 If you don't approve, then why are you justifying about costs. You see only monetary costs, what about safety and hygiene. You are worried that the outsourced third world will hike the price of the product, right? Isn't that selfish greed and goes against the spirit of "prosper thy neighbor" ?

[@kenklassen5630]

There is another billion people to take ones place. And as long as we can get inexpensive products we don't give a shit. Boycotting doesn't do a damn thing. At most it might close a factory but that just takes food from their mouthes and somebody else gets their job. Its how things are. Our cheap bike still feeds them and they are thankful.

A lot of these comments seem to be coming from pampered people. If you have ever done work like construction, painting, auto mechanics, plumbing then you would know that you and your clothes get filthy all day long. Your clothes look like rags after a few months, your nails are almost always dirty, you sweat, you stink, and all that doesn't matter because you have a job to do and you do it. These bikes look well made and the workers take pride in their product. They are doing the kind of work that our great grandfathers did in America to build our nation and give all these modern day snow flakes the leisure and wealth to sit around playing video games all day. When America squanders the advances given to us by the hard workers of the past we will have to work just as hard as these people to catch up again.

If workers were given uniform ..why will they not wear it ? they will wash it too . Invest in 2 pairs per year ..it will look neat and customers will be happy too to give orders . the torn cloths worn by workers give the " impression" that they are not treated well and no customer will like to buy products from suppliers who treat his employees as rags.
