Back to my regular woodworking projects in the next video ;)

[@jasonbailey9139]

I think there is always room for videos like this. If you ever run into another artisan maker like this, don't be afraid to use your talent to tell their story, too. Very well done!

[@tamarabuxton2516]

​@@jasonbailey9139 I concur. He has many talents, and this is one of them🤟🇨🇦

[@frankmakes]

I really enjoyed that, nicely done.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you so much Frank! ;)

[@jasonbailey9139]

If that was for a school project, I feel sorry for the other students in the class having their work compared to that. Very well done! Really enjoyed the guy's story. Not sure if it made me want to buy a bike, ride a bike, or turn my hobby into a career, but it was inspiring.

[@JTMusicbox]

Awesome! Unexpected from this channel but it’s a pro level documentary as far as I can tell.

[@JuniperandSixth]

Fantastic story and editing!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks for the support as always Collin ;)

[@johnrobertd748]

To build a bicycle, what a joy that must be. 😊

[@rhitrix]

You are seriously talented Miles. Seems everything you wield - hammer, saw, drill, camera - is a tool to make something great!

[@tamarabuxton2516]

He even rocks a sewing machine 🤟🇨🇦

[@alexo5190]

Thanks for making this short film. Very cool story

[@drewhanfland340]

Bob is a true artist. I really hope he gets his dream of going full time. Amazing work Miles! It really shows how much effort you put into this. Wonderful.

[@martinblihar234]

Chúc gia đình nhỏ luôn luôn hp đầy tình yêu thương ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gmill7911]

Interesting, and very nicely done.

[@Phoebetheboss]

Love your filmmaking style! Throughly enjoyed this documentary!

[@robertkeller2309]

Great showcase

[@tommy3960]

Hands down best bike building video epic good work 👍

[@mrmt9851]

Respect i would totally want a custom bike from him.

[@mountainsolesoutdoorthreads]

Well done Miles!

[@soethan.1349]

I really enjoyed it. It's great work. I love bikes.

[@classydays43]

That spider/Halloween frame was gorgeous! I hope he keeps it up for many years to come. Brilliant documentary, also, like the camera work and story telling was phenomenal.

[@Lil_T_161]

i'm surprised i haven't seen this clip before! thanks for making it and a huge shout out to Bob!

[@helenehargreaves4024]

Wish you all the best for the future

[@adamhindle9215]

Excellent video Miles.

[@sparkysparkytuneman]

I started the video trying to pay attention to the framing and shot choices, but halfway through I was too caught up in the story and the building to be conscious of the camera work :D Great job!

[@metabeard3788]

nice! West Philly represent

[@MadeByMarylou]

I hope you got an A++ That was really really good Miles! Loved the intro sequence 👌🏼 and I loved the overall feel. Nicely done 👏🏼

[@riaanshaigh1338]

Heartfelt. Beautiful work. Awesom Miles for displaying another person's art. Should possibly make it a regular segment showing different artists time to time.

[@kris4645]

That frame building dude is like me! I don't own a car,cycle every day, everywhere! 365 days per year,sun, rain,snow,hot or cold,just riding my ss bikes! It can be tough, especially in the winter 🥶❄️😆 Greetings from Kris from Croatia 😎

[@1a2b3c4.]

Great video, you are on your way to Hollywood.

[@karodora]

To me, it is always such a pleasure to see skilled artists and craftsmen at work. My parents grew up in the 1920s and 1930s and were very poor, so they were a accustomed to building or making things because it was the only way to have anything. I remember my Dad telling me that as a kid he wanted a bike, so he just scrounged around until he found enough parts to build one. Obviously, he wasn’t the professional shown here, but we kids’ bikes were always in good working order. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@robcauson4595]

I really enjoyed this. Very well done.

[@coriemackinnon9225]

So awesome!!!

[@tomim7187]

You are well on your way to being an auteur film maker. 👍👍

[@rvz0643]

Wow stumbled across this vid. Great story and amazing bike builder. Love it!

[@SBEtherwave]

Very cool!

[@gw7565]

Fantastic. Love the tone. You brought out Bob's story masterfully.

[@marcinurbaniak]

I just clicked whatever YT recommended and damn... that was an amazingly well spent ~9min of my life! Felt like a meditation... Thanks Miles! Keep it going!

[@SkyhawkSteve]

Always good to see a skilled frame builder! The background of building for Bilenky says a lot!

[@isofilmy]

Cool video, love this guy's bikes too

[@tragikk03]

Old looking shops like that are my favorite place to be. His is a bit too clean and artsy for me, but dope to see another welder making cool stuff. I like seeing that a lot of guys my age are going back to the older way of doing some stuff (like his hand drafting) and keeping alive certain special skills.

[@dodo2829]

Glad to know this man exists.

[@SmokeyVlogs]

beautiful

[@davereinhart6650]

Nicely done Miles! You clearly are committed to your craft! That’s a lot of dedication and practice.

[@agility62]

[@owenl5899]

[@MrTracker15]

Everything you do is done top notch. Really quite amazing how talented you are. Keep it up!

[@Cobwobbler]

[@rhl2macwan]

Really nice video

[@DanRansom]

What a killer story, beautifully filmed and told. Great stuff Miles.

[@muji_kngr]

Woow, i was just immersed

[@dcallan812]

That was great, you should be very proud of it. 2x👍

[@-MacCat-]

A well presented short movie on an interesting craftsman by a talented young man. Well done and thank you for sharing it. I hope your high school acknowledges your great work.

[@truthseeker8483]

Beautifully finished bikes. great work

[@user-mp7on9lh3j]

Man go for it... use CAD dude you can keep track of every measurement and every bend and contour. 🤜🤛👍🧐

[@NekyLik]

That was great Miles! Lovely music and editing... And a great bike builder! :)

[@luvtheceltics]

Top job on the film and you picked a great subject to tell his story.

[@HoracioAdolfoLassandari]

Dear Miles I see a wonderful future ahead, your video inspired me to start bulding my own bike thanks for the good work

[@meyceedz]

Wow Bantam. Long time no see.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome video miles would like to see more interview video if possible. Very nice to see. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

[@GeorgeGetsItDone]

[@mortenhansen3455]

Really well made Miles! You've got the stuff!

[@stevencook9167]

awesome Job Miles

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you Steven!

[@chrisblackburn1892]

You had me at Monarch Lathe ha ha

[@bulgieR]

Yeah a part-timer but he has a Monarch 10ee? There's one for sale locally but I don't think I'll buy it, asking price is $30,000. 😵‍💫

[@dfleon75]

👍

[@BandanazX]

Nice aspect ratio

[@bobwhite4748]

Man this vid/movie needed a longer pieces!

[@tonyc7352]

I love bicycles and I'm not young. I like your design because I always thought mountain bikes were too big a step in ruggedness from the classic touring bike for most people. Also, fit is so important. I wish you success.

[@BikePortland]

Awesome work Miles.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you. Feel free to post it on your site if you want and let me know if you have any questions.

[@mathieugrondin4818]

so good! well done :)

[@donjayamaha6174]

could you post the first frame you build with a plumbing torch

[@davidb7699]

Killer video mike…keep up the good work

[@maximianocoelho4496]

Plan: Visit Bantam in Portland.

[@timothyfelixjr.4881]

Question. How much do you Charge to modify a bike frame if I draw out the specs?🤔

[@kellilandry2825]

Well done Miles! Very cool video and topic. I'm curious what you'll be studying in college.

[@acff65]

💯👏

[@tinker2561]

Miles this video is brilliant. Very well shot and cut. You're a terrific storyteller. Bob at Bantam has a kickass business and I admire his ethics and workmanship. Much respect! Duby

[@dan2304]

Likewise, now retired 74 yo still major mode of personal transport is a bicycle, don't own a car by choice. Built high end steel frames from 80's. I am 110 kg and most of my builds were for even bigger men. While the steel bikes are heavier but only marginally. My current steel frame bike is 1 kg heavier than a Giant defy advanced large but has a 16 cm longer wheel base and wider rims and tyres. Rides is so much smoother and while the acceleration and handling is not as snappy cornering and stability is excellent and due to the comfort and reduced harshness a little faster over distance.

[@Osrszombie]

The most beautiful and sexy and best looking bikes, can not wish all that 😂 love just reading his web pages 😂😂😂 one day ill buy one from him ❤️

[@olakinberg5412]

This clip was very good looking visually. Strange how I recently got the idea I would like to have a channel with this slow style as I always liked long wide frames (not bike frames, film frames) and the so often considered fashionable closeups in peoples faces annoys me.

[@NickMorozov]

Cool! Somehow I've heard the brand name, don't know where :) It's cool to know the story behind it and being able to put a face on the name

[@MakeWithMiles]

Haha what a coincidence! That is awesome. Thanks for watching ;)

[@matte6416]

🥺🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤

[@vollewestervelt7354]

new to me 🚴‍♂🚴‍♀🚴‍♀🚵🚴‍♀🚴‍♂🚴highly important

[@qbarnes1893]

Love the passion, but turn off when I’m presented with people who talk in rising consonants, sorry..

[@JohnDoe-el7rw]
