Beautiful! I rode one in the early 60's as a kid. A friend let me try it. If memory serves it was appointed like yours. Holy cow, I thought I was riding in the TDF! I still had an old cruiser that weight about 12,000 lbs.with one gear only suitable for riding dowhill. HA! That's when I fell in love with Brooks saddles. I still only ride them and are on several bikes here at the house. One is still in use from 1964! Saved all year for it.... Ha! Thanks!

And I do agree with what you said at it the end of the video: a good restoration should also try to preserve some of the wear, which is part of the object's history. Thank you for sharing this with us, keep up the good work, I'm always looking forward to seeing your now posts !

Easily the best restoration of a classic I have ever seen. Totally sympathetic to what is was, and it survives as an original. Myself, I have a gifted Carlton from 1984 [I am the second owner], which is such a juvenile in comparison, and I got my "old lady" back on the top-line with additional period parts to replace the worked out and hopeless Shimano Golden Arrow group-set. I used Gran Sport, Super Record and Record "C" and had a nice set of Mavic rimmed Chorus-hubbed wheels to fit. Those old bike parts were so well made in my experience. This was my full first bike rebuild, and of course it was over many months, while using the bike daily for commuting. There are no vids or photos. It did not occur to me at the time. But your splendid work on a real "old lady" is an inspiration. Thanks for such a nice and respectful rebuild, so well caught. Best wishes from George PS: The Carlton is still my daily bike, wet or dry, cold or warm. Too nice for that really, but it is so nice to ride, and if I get it wet, I clean it off once home. The bike was meant to be enjoyed, and so long as I can I'll keep on enjoying it as intended. It has a North Road Bar on as this is as close to a racing bar as I can still use for long rides ...

@@MonkeyShred This is not a restoration! It is better!! It is a saving of a beautiful old bike. Without spoiling its history. Keep it dry. Look after it. Since my last post I have been given a pre-1970 Raleigh Wayfarer - three speed Sturmey Archer. Lovely bike in good original condition [chrome is un-blemished], but I have no idea how to get the paint as good as it should be. Not repainted, but preserved. It will be a regular rider rather than a historic beauty. The Carlton needs to be rested a bit after about fifteen years with me and a complete nut and bolt and bearing rebuild. But I want a bike with mud-guards for use when it is raining so the protection on the Wayfarrer needs to be robust, but sympathetic. I hope you see this reply. Best wishes from George

I’m just about to buy a vintage bike myself and preserve it in the beaten style it is. The bike is dark green and scratched, beaten and weathered to hell, so it’s going to stay that way, I’m using the same handlebars and stem as yours, and as they’re new, I’ll spray them in a matte black, and then just wrap them, and basically any chrome on the bike will be made matte or satin black. I’ll do a degrease and regrease, probably throw bearings into it, build some new rims to be safe, plus I want a coaster brake, then add a black vintage sprung seat. I’m really excited to build this one, I think it will end up looking awesome.

@@MonkeyShred You know what though? I’m always at the risk of ‘ohhh look new bright and shinies’ disease. You know how you have to replace one part because it’s damaged, but then there is 3 other parts around it that now look wrong and 30 seconds later every single part is ordered on eBay, and then you need to search for another vintage bike because you have no impulse control haha. Fingers crossed this one will be different though!! Top channel dude, you’ve got some lovely bikes. Im in Aus and constantly have my eyes open, I’m hoping now to find an early 20’s BSA and do a full resto on that.
