AWESOME! a great story(stories) about the woznot and harvey's seat design(the 'sitnot'?). both are examples of cool innovations and experimentation going on in the vancouver area during the 'golden age' of mountain biking. i was extremely fortunate to acquire one of harvey's saddle-posts from the late, great pippin osbourne, years ago. i didn't even measure it to see if it could go on one of my brodies or if i have to get a fat chance to slide it in!? i look forward to watching this series!
This was my fav bike that I saw at the Marin bicycling museum back in 2017. It was kinda tucked at the back, near the top back left on the main wall, and Mr Breeze kindly gave me low-down. That was a pretty good day!
I’m an old shore boy and Harvey and I attended UBC together. I rode past Harvey’s place on my way to school everyday and some days he would join me for the ride in. At that time Harvey, and I believe you were experimenting with an S shaped carbon fibre suspension seat post. Did any of those bikes survive? Thanks for the content and the memories and please invite Harvey to reach out to me. Cheers
Hi Dan, I think you are referring to the Allsop Soft-Ride carbon beam which had the seat mounted on top. They were very Hot for couple of years, and then everyone stopped using them... I did talk to Harvey and mentioned you, but that was many years ago, and his memory might be fading like mine is sometimes. Send me an email and I will pass along his contact info... Thanks for commenting..
That was great Paul. I'm not much of a bicycle guy but I love the innovation. Harvey is a very charismatic and interesting fellow, it was a pleasure to watch him explain his concepts. Best wishes, Dean.
Hi Mr. Brodie, As an enthusiast of mountain bikes since the 80s, I have always been a fan of experimental and maybe odd bikes. You already mentioned the Cunningham Mantis, and there is the Yeti C26, the Specialized Epic Ultimate (although that is a later one), and the composite forks by both Bontrager, Pace, and yours (Brodie). I am so happy to learn of the existence of the Woznot and your plan to replicate it. Amazing. I am really looking forward to this build and found the introduction of your frame and the chat with your funny friend Harvey a premise to the start of a fun couple of episodes. (Compost 😂.... They are now). Best regards from Germany, Sarkis
@@paulbrodie I don't know that red head emoticon, but maybe you can explain. Please send my regards to Mitch: nice work at the camera and fab editing. 👍🏽
What a beautiful bike if it wasn't for the de components or things like quill stem I would have never thought that this was a over 30 year old bike.ore
Great video. Harveys fibre composts are truely inspiring. I will attempt to repair 13 year old Zipp carbon cranks with epoxy and a vaccum chamber next week - would be handy to have a composite master like Harvey advising. Thanks for entertaining us with mountainbike history once again - looking very forward to the WILLBEE bike! Greetings from Berlin Sebastian
I have limited interest in cycles and cycling but y'all are incredible fabricators. Can't put a limit on making things and making things happen! Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Those seat posts are really cool looking, shame they didn't take off they look like they'd be super comfortable and have some compliance when going over bumpy terrain. Great video as always fella, really excited for this build. 👍👍
That was great. It was good to get an explanation of how Harvey made the composts. I'm looking forward to the build. Good luck at the swap meet with finding the parts that you need.
As always, enjoy every episode! This build is very interesting! Have had ideas of this in my head, but an entangled frame crossing over itself! Maybe even changing the diameters (stepping up and down) of tubing throughout! Continued success!
Production standards on this channel just keep improving.... Mitch is earning his small fortune. On ya Mitch! I was a Gatorblade fork owner in the late eighties, it was the first fork I didn't bend.
Makes me wonder if these straight blade forks were the inspiration for the steel welded straight blade fork that originally came on my Fat Yo Eddy that Chris Chance came up with.
@@keirfarnum6811 straight blade forks were all the rage in 89. I went from the gator blades to a custom ordered 1" tapered, straight, fillet brazed Tange prestige fork from Jim Moulden..... they were so skinny I thought I'd trash them in a week..... but after over 3 decades of abuse they are still holding strong. Steel is real.
If you're adding you brakes to it for extra stopping power, I've got a set of vintage and in very good shape Scott Peterson self-energizing U brakes, so I took off my tandem when I got Chris DeKerf to put disc brake bosses on
The computer game Spacequest 6 also had ComPosts but they were used for communications on board the Deepship 86, which was definitely not a parody of Star Trek 🙂.
Well, apparently the bike has been on display since 2016, coincidently the same year I just happened to "drop by..." One viewer said it is on display, but hanging up very high, and hard to see. I hope, when it is returned, it gets a much more prominent display position...
Also because museums are not just about "displaying things" but also being "archives" of what exist. Most of the time, what you see in a museum is just the surface part of the iceberg. For exemple the Louvre museum has 36000 items on display, and a collection of 500 000+ items
Absolutely cool bike. Innovative. After the explanation, it is easy to see how you went from the Gator fork to the Waznot rear triangle. I really like the look. And the paint and decal color goes well with the bike. I'm looking forward to watching this build. In the background is a Paul Brodie cantilever frame. It may not have the innovation of the Waznot, what is the story on that?
I love the brake booster - my Moulton XTB has a light fork that is great for sensitive suspension, but twists like crazy with the V-brakes, and a booster would make it 100x better. Sadly I can only find quality boosters on eBay…
@@Billy-burner I'd love to, but I am traveling, and I don't have a shop or shop tools. Plus, it's a lot nicer to have something actually designed and safety-tested and not heavy AF.
I never remember Bontrager forks having rake in the blades. As a matter of fact I remember reading a whole dissertation written by Keith as to why putting the rake in the crown was superior. NVM I stand corrected. I had no idea he ever produced a switchblade with rake in the legs, judging by the photos they look early.
Looks like Harvey put his heart and soul into making those seats only to see his dreams dashed on the rocks of the legal system. I wish him well in whatever he is doing now. I am sure you will honor him when you build the new bike. The Woznot part Deaux rides again.
I enjoy your videos so much, I got done with the 1st six rounds of Chemo. I start the 2nd round in July good news though, I won't loose my hair (past my shoulders& beard to the middle of my chest) WOO HOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i had once a trek 800 singletrail, with Magura HS33 (neon Yellow ) and a full shimano top gear ) . allthough it was a 90s era bike, i liked it over all my other bikes. the smaller wheels and overall light weight , oh boy i loved it ! it was stolen by a drug dealers customer from next door. so sad !
When I got into old cruisers that style of frame was/is called a canti/cantilever. I thought this bike was a work in progress,not seeing a drivetrain.Very cool what you did with the donor bike shaft drive. That being said,the woznot project is shaping up to be a great one.

I know exactly what a Gates Drive is. I taught Framebuilding 101 for almost a decade and helped several students build frames that incorporated a Gates Drive System. To say that I take no interest in bike industry innovations is completely wrong.. Have a nice day...
12:25 Was this recorded before the Titan 'toilet roll' imploded? (Not sure that it was in the best 'taste' mention that disaster of a sub waiting to happen)
It all depends on the wall thickness of the straight tubing.. We had Tange make us custom fork legs: 1.1mm wall thickness on top tapering to 0.7mm at the bottom. Gatorblade was a great fork. I know I am biased :)
I had a Rocky Mountain Stratos in the day with came with a Tange Big Fork that I replaced with a second hand Synchros fork. I remember feeling a lot more confident about my ability to dice around on the trail with the straight fork. But my arms and wrists ended up hurting afterwards
I think it's subjective vs. scientific. The tapered and curved blade is never going to have the same wall thickness as the straight un-tapered blade. Some riders will like the former, and some will prefer the latter. That's the best I can do to answer your question...
I wish someone made a strong, steel, reinforced, full suspension frame that could be used for motorized bicycles. With the shock mounted in the rear behind the seat instead of inside the frame, causing the engine not to fit in the frame. If someone made a full suspension motorized bike frame. Similar to those felt faker frames that have a gas tank in the top tube. They could probably sell a ton of them.
I bet those guys won't be able to tell that the bike they'll be getting back is actually the replica😎 but serves them well, because obviously NOW they really want the bike!!! After they had it in the attick collecting dust 😖
@@paulbrodie That he did, spare parts are tricky these days... The industry tried 1.5" over a decade later, only the bottom half of that caught on... My 1930's tandem is 1 1/8" threaded, with a "headclip" style headset and no expander/wedge on the stem. Spare parts are a nightmare to find.
Harvey is great and amusing storyteller! Woznot alive👍
Poor Harvey was getting emotional.....
My kind regards to both of you gentleman! Pass them to Harvey please!
Davorin, all three of us thank you very much!
Nice one Harvey, I appreciate your daydreaming skills. ✌ 🇦🇺
Thanks gentlemen. Stoked to see we are getting more framing building content.
Thank you. Yes, looking forward to creating Woznot Number Two...
So excited for this build :-) Thanks to Harvey for the story behind that wild seatpost
Thanks Zack. We will keep you up to date with the build...
Amazing bike, amazing brakes and seatpost. Pure gold of MTB history.
Thank you very much...
I can’t wait to see the start of the build.
Yes, we will start by building that Big Fat U-brake.. I'm excited too!
I like Harvey. Character. I assume you’ll still go 26”? It won’t be a 29er? Only the 1-1/8” head tube update? Stem still a quill?
Harvey is a bit like a Mad Scientist, but in the very best way. Yes, 26", quill stem, basically only changing the head tube size. Thanks for watching!

The compost reminds me of the pivotal seat post system designed by Macneil bmx out of Canada .
You might be right.. I was never into BMX...
Those front brakes look like BMX brakes and I love it.... Thats probably my BMX background being biased but still, they look amazing. 😁👍❤️
Compost...Woznot...man I love good punns. Keep up the good work Paul!
Thanks Jeff. Yes, I love Good Names too!

Thank you. It was good to have Harvey as a guest, and he certainly did create a beautiful Seatpost..
Interesting bike. Another great video. Thanks.
Thanks 👍 Pat. Glad you enjoyed it..
I have limited interest in cycles and cycling but y'all are incredible fabricators. Can't put a limit on making things and making things happen! Keep up the GREAT work!!!
That seatpost would probably do well with an aluminium insert to take compression loads and some FEA on the underseat section to refine the design.
Yes, but you will lost the lightweight, a little…
Love those brakes!
Please please do a video on your shaft-drive bike in the background, as well!

Thank you!
I though you were going to say, it was so much work to build, it woznot a good idea for production 😁
I had a Brodie fork bridge on my rockshox Mag20’s with a matching booster and mavic cantilevers
Robert, we called them Rock Roosters back in the day...
Those original Rockshox fork bridges were FLIMSY! I changed mine out on the Mag21s and it seriously improved the fork.
Early days and the manufacturers were learning. We sold a lot of our Rock Roosters...

Are there any advantages of a straight blade fork other than aesthetics (or ease of manufacturing)? Curved rigid forks feel way more compliant

@@paulbrodie if the wall thickness and tapering is equal , what would be the performance advantages of each design - curved VS straight?

Not quite what you’re asking for however…. The Cotic Rocket would tick most of those boxes…. If you look at their site they have an e-bike prototype
U brakes are the strongest as your brake bosses attest.
Amazing machine. If you’re making new brakes, why not do a run of 20 sets? I can easily see people paying a few hundred dollars for a set
