- What an amazing collection of bicycles displayed in an amazing venue. I took 4 bicycles to display and won an award for one of them. See the best in vintage road bikes in this video. I highlight some notable frame builders as well as friends new and old. So many wonderfully displayed restored bicycles.

The best thing about these clips is John. Natural enthusiasm and real interest, with people skills that put people at ease. Starting with “bikes are cool,” and then proving it.
Thank you, Robbie, I appreciate your contribution to the video.
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage Looks like a great meet up , would love to come over from the UK , we have a lot of classic meet ups , one in Blackpool called ride the lights , around 5000 riders along 24 mile prom on the sea front in August !
@@curtisducati Curtis, we’d be interested in how you attract newcomers, etc. The UK seems to have an enthusiasm for classic bikes that we strive to get started.
Your Arabesque with all the gold-plated parts was stunning and well deserved best of show bike. Again my apologies for having the only MTB in the show (my 1981 Stumpjumper) right next to it. What a contrast! Grunge vs. bling!!
@@flyingdutchmanROS I was totally digging that stumpjumper. You don't see too many of those. That was the cat's meow back in the day.
Congrats on the win, John! In retirement, five or six hours of sleep per night is my norm. But I compensate by catching a cat nap or two during the day. Love that Motobecane, one of my favorite vintage makes. My own is a fully rebuilt (by me) 1980 Grand Sprint, made of Vitus 888 and marketed as a training bike. Not valued by collectors, but precious to me since my own 1979 model, which I worked an entire summer to buy while I was an undergrad and rode thousands of miles. Sadly, that bike was stolen during one of my deployments with the US Navy. I was happy to welcome its replacement.
Holy smokes those were some beautiful looking bicycles. That you for sharing and congratulations on your bicycle getting an award. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
Thanks much!
1st place ,Congrats John.Always nice to win with a Schwinn.
Thanks!
Hey John great video. Love hearing all the history of bikes by the owners.
Definitely looking forward to your next video.
All the best!
Oh and congratulations on you win with the
Paramount.
Thanks so much. More from the show coming soon. Thanks for watching
Thanks John. This was a great view of a great bunch of people and their bikes. I love seeing the many old friends and some new ones as well too. There's so much to learn. I see some of your commenters are still newbies. They haven't figured a lot of it out, but that's the fun challenge. Learning about the ICS from Switzerland, or custom builders from all around the world, there really are wonderful, wonderful craftworks here. Thanks so much for showing us all that wonderful event, wish I could have made it. Thanks, Dale
Thanks Dale. it was a fun and difficult video to edit and put together. My fault however. I have to get better at this. I had a lot more footage but trying to balance how much to put it so you dont put people to sleep! LOL. Thanks for watching.
great video - thanks
I bet the smell of oil, rubber and grease there was amazing? It's the odour of 70s bike shop that evokes so many memories of Saturday mornings and waiting for my LBS, Led Davies in Morriston, Swansea, UK, to open while drooling over the Reynolds 531 bikes in the window 🙂 Happy days indeed!
I agree. I worked in a bike shop for 7 years and then I was a rep. I always found the smell nostalgic!
omg, the Huffy True Temper bike...
Some truly beautiful bikes on display there John, thanks for sharing your trip 👌🏼🙌🏼
Superb.
Congrats on first place with the old Schwinn John.
I need to stop drooling now.
Congrats on the award! Putting this on the calendar for 2026.
Awesome!
Wonderful! Everything, wonderful! Thank you.
Thanks
Wow, what beautiful memories. In 1980 I bought a CUEVAS frame, built and signed by Francisco Cuevas. He had a shop in New York. He was a Spanish builder. It is outfitted with Campagnolo Nuevo Record components and some Cinelli and Phil Wood bottom bracket. I also have 2 sets of wheels. One with sew-ups and the other clincher tires. I haven't ridden it in decades. Has anybody ever heard of him?
Cuevas is well known and well respected in the bike world. He had a reputation as a craftsman.
Great video! Thanks for showing us around the show.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video! 👍
Thank you! 👍
Nice bikes ✅✅👍
Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to go when I'm back in the U.S.!
I really wanted to go, but weather didn’t cooperate and Spring planting on our farm got pushed back. Thanks for showcasing some of the best to your viewers.
Ah bummer. next time!
Thanks John for making this great video ...amazing
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video John! Congrats on the win and so appreciate you spending time on the Motobecane, Teledyne and that chrome Ritchey track bike! Looking forward to seeing your Volare, which btw is my size and I’ve been looking for one for a long time…just sayin.
Thanks! IDK if I could sell it. Its not my size but they are hard to find. Plus I'd probably ask to much $$$$ for it because of how rare and its condition. I should of spent more time on the Ritchey. That was one of the stars of the show!
Thanks John!
Thanks for watching
Soooo sick!!! I'm into converting vintage bikes to single speed/fixed gear but these are insanely beautiful! The best thing about older bikes is the swag!!!!. Soooooo many different colors, shades, and tones with complimentary components to match. Everything is black today and it sucks!
The only vintage bike I have that's untouched and "rare" is a lotus super pro aero. The oval tubing and color is sick!! It is missing the original wheels but that's it. Oh and one bar end cap.
Thanks for the video John , great stuff !!!
Spectacular !
Thanks.
Thanks!
Congrats on the weight loss John, keep it up. Luv that Bianchi 🥰
Thanks!
John, you don't know how envious I am of not being able to meet these wonderful bikes here in the south of Brazil, or in Brazil. Translate by Google . Kkkk
My Pinarello Treviso was my first road bike.
Thats one heck of a first bike!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Cool! I am with you when people ask me "why"!
John,
How about a video that focuses on the stands used for display in this or other bike shows? Mark L
Well, I guess you did win an award! Congrats.🎉 Thanks for another fun video. Putting 2026 on the calendar.
Awesome. hope to see you there.
AMF was a sports company in Canada in the 80's. Marinoni's should have a serial number under the bottom bracket. If you send it to them, they can usually give some info or build sheet. Also they will paint and restore their old frames. More info on their website about how to contact them.
I have a Marinoni Piuma from about 1999/2000. They emailed a copy of the original build order. Just for asking.
Hi David, Yes, I have been in contact with Marinoni, and they confirmed everything. However, I need confirmation from Mark Gorski that it was his. Pretty sure it was.
Here in Adelaide, someone organizes a classic bike show during the Tour Downunder.
Thats cool!
B e a utiful 👌
John, no Richard Sachs. Have you met him?
I have not met him yet. There may have been one at the show that I missed.
Thanks John !! Great video & always educational 👍🏻🚴🏻♀️🚴🏼♂️
…you make it fun to ride along on your adventures !
So many bikes I have never heard of, but no Schwinn sports tourer? Is the paramount really that much better?
23:45 !!!!! now that is cool
The guy at 7:09 is HAWT.

Oi...👁️👁️
So much cool stuff! Robbie's insane Colnago is just incredible! It looks like something Elvis might have ridden. :-) The blue cromovelato Magni is similarly amazing. ICS did a handful of curious little tweaks to the components, which is a lot of fun. All of Gary's bikes, like his Jo Routens, have been a lot of fun to look at, with all sorts of novel and fascinating little gadgets. Where does he find this stuff?? Very fun to see Jeffrey Bock again, as well as Doug Fattic, Harvey, Marcus, etc. Great folks.
Thanks Steve, It was an amazing weekend. Those bikes were insane!!
4:06 Still riding an Alpha Q fork I got for $140 that I paired with an unforked 2006 BLUE RC6 which I got for $200 10 years ago. Their carbon steerer tubes had to be retrofitted with aluminum inserts for extra measure of safety.
I think the Hetchins is referred to as a Curly Hetchins Vade Macum! 👍🏴
Saw an attendee with a Pino Morroni shirt (three green mice). That's special for those that know of Pino.
Cool. Lots of great stuff there!
MAGNI = mahn-yee
Thanks for making and sharing this!!!
Don't see to many Magni's do you
Thanks john,for the video.
That orange Motobecane is if my memory serves me correctly a team Bic bike.
Totally excellent. Rode my first race in 1968..love the early evolution of bike tech-Campy-Custom frames etc,etc. Raced on Campy Record..C Record..and STILL riding Super Record 11 speed. Recently built a 653 Bob Jackson-11 speed Campy Record and swapped my Pinarello f8 for a 2014 Argon Titanium-Campy Super Record…the latest Road Bike tech …just a step or two too far in my opinion…appreciate your passion and content.
Love how the new stuff works! I love riding the old as well.
The best !
Are there any famous good female frame builders?
Nice but where are the aero carbon stallions?
I own one of those. They were not invited to the show lol.
Thanks so much for sharing this, and congrats on your win! At almost 52 years old, I grew up loving steel frame bikes, especially the Italian made (Colnago steals my heart every time). I started riding at age 5 (that's when I took off my training wheels), and fell in love with road race bikes after watching the movie "Breaking Away". I spent hours drooling over bike catalogues, really loved the track bikes. Still ride a steel frame single speed/fixie, however I am really wanting to build a steel road/gravel
What a video! Keep ‘em coming, John! Congrats on the win. Wish I could go next year but I refuse to get on an airliner, and private charter just isn’t practical. Here I am talking about practical and I own an exotic bike. Nothing we do with bicycles has anything to do with “practical,”
I was holding my breath and just waiting for you to say ‘Three Rensho”. You didn’t disappoint. Of course the awards announcer….
No Zeus in the house?
@@Ramenscooter not yet, hard to find one in great condition in my size
Dream event! If I lived a few thousand miles nearer ... .
Awesome show!
That Hetchins...WOW.
I know right??? Would love that model. You'll see mine on the channel sooner or later!
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage hope we can get to see you ride it. Don't know why, but watching a bike in motion seems more appealing
@@aq7705 I have to rebuild it first. I don't ride bikes in my videos much. But I will be doing that more. You'll see a video in the end of July. I am riding my Jack Taylor touring bike. The full length of the Ohio and Erie trail. I'm not much of a blogger but I guess I'm going to learn LOL
incredible craftwork, attention to detail & dedication by all the frame builders, collectors... the whole community. inspiring.
It made me want to sharpen up my collection for sure!
Wow great event John some beautiful bikes there thanks for filming and showing these wonderful examples..😊 ❤ Pete 🚴🏻😊😍👍
Glad you enjoyed it.
Are women allowed or only white guys over 60 ? Being an old guy myself I do appreciate the bikes from my past.
We are working on that. A little Guerciotti was shown by a woman, and “BianchiGirl” from Bike Forums was there. I always wanted to meet her, and finally have. A privilege.
