I wish that bike could talk! what stories of history it could tell. thank you for preserving it

[@judefrazier4727]

My Dad was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park and worked on Enigma, the Ultra Secret, during WWII. He was one of 13 cryptographers sent from US, at Churchill’s request.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

WOW..His mother was part of the team who broke the *ENIGMA MACHINE* unbelievable...🙌🙌

[@Morerhapsody]

[@origamigirl95]

What an amazing piece of history. It looks so nice now! :)

[@busterboy7505]

Well you certainly cracked that restoration 👍🚴‍♂️.

To one and all, Thank you from us all.

[@devitafilms6455]

The bicycle is an amazing invention

[@TomGS]

These brits... these goddamn brits.... Making me cry whenever they please.

[@boyygin75]

These guys are going to look so ancient with those hats as this ages

[@judefrazier4727]

My Dad was also in hut 6. After the war he could never leave the country again or speak of his service in England.

[@kristoffermangila]

A nice BSA bicycle... you know what they say, the next step up is a nice BSA motorcycle... I can only imagine what tales this bike can tell... for all we knew, Adam Turing may have borrowed this bike for a bit...

[@crashoverride328]

Alan Turing.

This show is an example of perfect tv and what it can do to ALL the senses, a lesson should be learned from this by the whole of the so called reality dross.

[@Dave_In_Boston]

More of these please. Love the show but can’t watch it in the U.S.A.

[@lol224455]

It works

[@judefrazier4727]

My Dad may have met yer Mum, from his time at Bletchley, Stuart Frazier, hut 6

[@crashoverride328]

I will admit I didn't realise the Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub gear system was that old.

[@Hurc7495]

he's almoast certainly ruined the heat treatment on the internals, you can see it's blued at 5:27, and the wonkey brazing, and mig for thin sheet metal!!

[@G-Tay]

This is "TV".. must put on your safety helmet before the test run!

[@scarboroughjames7]

Is there a USA version of this show?

[@judefrazier4727]

Read The Ultra Secret, and Enigma, there is a movie, Jude Frazier, my pop was a hero, I miss him so he passed before we knew about his contribution at Bletchley and work on breaking the Nazi code. He could never talk about it. I imagine he could have known yer Mum. His name was Stuart Frazier. Maybe their paths crossed.

[@judefrazier4727]

My Dad may have met yer Mum, from his time at Bletchley. His name was Stuart Frazier. US Staff Sgt.

[@truthful7th608]

Most boring show... All you are doing is replacing an original parts of the things that is memorable to your customer..... You are replacing show ot repairing...

[@ruthwilson1936]

Well don't watch then!

[@neogeo1670]

agree.... no art in that... might aswell give them a lego set there is always replacment parts

[@neogeo1670]

he is right, they always take the easy route and its not the best one when ones goal i so keep it as origional as possible...

[@davidburgess741]

It wouldn't function 1/2 mile with that sprocket! What's he supposed to do? Build the worn areas of the sprocket teeth back up with a welder and dress the profile with an angle grinder! How original would that have looked. The saddle collapsing over the seatpost would be unwanted drama! The basket is self explanatory!

[@emmachurchman1527]

It may be boring to some, but no matter how small or big, its history and a well loved item, I love this show ❤️

[@d-monster4340]

The guy working on the bike must be lower spectrum . So daft .
