    Happy to see the mini velo back on the channel. Was def one of my favorites to watch since it's such a unique style of bike and not so common around the US.

    So glad to see this video. This is why we mess around with bikes - because they're fun and they bring us joy. Thanks for reminding us of this.

    I have 2 bikes both of which are 30+ years old. I recently explored the idea of trying to update the wheel set on one of the bikes.....almost impossible! There is nothing like old bikes made at almost any price. 2nd life bikes is the way to go!

    I've been wondering about your Mini Velo, glad to see it make another appearance. It's a bike design that I'm curious about, unfortunately, rarer than hen's dental floss over here.
    Thank you for the stickers, they arrived earlier this week. They will adorn my early '90s Giant Cadex CFM 2.

    Love your channel and this video about the Mini-Velo. Question, I am 6'4" ( 1.98 meters). I want to get one of these.. specifically the "Mercier Nano Mini-Velo", but on their website they state, "48cm = 4'11" to 5'7" | 53cm = 5'8" to 6'3" . Do you think since I exceed their max height I should veer away, or can you simply make adjustmets to stem and seat post to accomidate, or will it through off the geomotry of the frame and make it dangerous for me to ride?

      Oh yeah, forgot I did that! When I built got the trailer I thought It would be a good idea to have some different gears for different loads

    Is this the bike from Argos ? £250 challenger ? Thinking of buying one? You reckon it could deal with canal towpaths

      Yes mate, Challenge, Urban Camper. Only get one if its mega cheap. Interesting frame, terrible components.

    For myself I would avoid a bike with small wheels for doing much distance.
