- Gabriel Chrisman, proprietor of Victorian Cycles (www.VictorianCycles.com) explains and demonstrates a reproduction 1880's cross-frame hard tire safety bicycle that he built himself. He tells a little about the history of Victorian bicycles, and how this is the missing link between the Ordinary (high wheel) and the pneumatic safety bike. The bike he's showing off here was commissioned by a major TV production to use in their upcoming series. To learn more about the construction of this bicycle, go to www.victoriancycles.com/post/...

Your bikes are beautiful, true craftsmanship.
He's a true artist, isn't he?
I love how you both are keeping the past alive.
Wow. Those are some fine bikes. Next time I’m in the market for a new bike I think I know where I’ll look.
Wonderful presentation, Gabriel! I didn't know that you made bicycles. It's good to know because I really don't like the bikes they make today. I love the old fashioned easy peddle bikes. I will spread the word.
Thanks for sharing such great historical information and it's wonderful to see that your experience is getting out into the world for all to know.
I love the teaching moments you show! It gets people thinking about bikes and other elements of life and what we can learn from the Victorian period.
I've only seen these in books, seeing them used makes me appreciate them moreI have no wish to ride an Ordinary, but this looks very practical, although it must have been rough on the roads they had back then!
I just wanted a new bike and went down the rabbit hole again watching all these videos of what kind of bike to get and now I really want an old bike lol
Such a wonderful bicycle, Gabriel! I own a very old Dunlop bicycle, possibly dates from the 1950s or even earlier. I learnt to ride my first two wheel bicycle on that bike. I still have it, but the saddle is getting fragile, and the tires need replacing. Just watching you on your 1880s style bike was lovely! Makes me wish I was younger, and could still ride.
Thank you for all of the information about Victorian bicycles! ~Janet in Canada
Well made bicycles like the ones you build are very enduring machines. They can easily outlive their original owners with just a little common sense care. That type of rubber tire was also used on children's tricycles up through the 1930s at least. I have one of the tools that pull and twist the wire inside the tire and hope to do some tire repairs on old collectable trikes in the future, since collecting old tricycles is a hobby of mine.
Hi Sarah and Gabriel. Just bought the first three volumes of your book series. Cant wait to read them. I think both of guys are awesome. Be well.
me parece una bicicleta con ingenieria muy avanzada
I love hearing about the 1800’s history. You both are so informative and passionate about your craft. I am so glad to be able to watch and learn from the past from your channel. So much of the past is really so relavant to today society. Keep up the great work!!! 😉
You are very talented and the bike you built is impressive. Very informative and interesting. Thank you from England UK xxx
I love old English bicycles, I had an old BSA and Atlas cycle, mostly used by industrial workers of the late 1900's. Me personally I'm a cyclist. I ride it all year around, the pleasant Canadian summer or harsh freezing weather me and me bicycle is always together.
Cheers !!!!
Hmmm, a tv series set in the 1880s? Murdoch mysteries perhaps? If so..VERY COOL!
@@jameswarrick778 maybe it's the alienist? however It's set in the 1890s...
@@benoitdelisle9049 hmmm, I've never heard of that but I'll check it out. I'm sure that could be at too
@@jameswarrick778 it's on netflix, it's a really good show.

You guys make great videos! Thanks for sharing!
Love that you are making more videos. :) your on my Facebook as well. RV
This is amazing. Amazing work.
Lovely bicycle and surprisingly modern looking.
Thank you for posting.
Absolutely amazing work. The attention to detail and overall aesthetic is brilliant. Just looked at your website. Looks beautiful. I live in the land of Gazelle bikes, and I'm hoping to get one like Sarah's. 🌷Hello from Amsterdam.
That bicycle was a beauty !
Amazing video, and a beautiful piece of engineering. Well done, and thank you for making the video. Peace be unto you.
You sir are one classy gentleman.
Lindo demais seu trabalho!
That's a great looking bike!
The blue one.is gorgeous!
Nice design 👍👍👍
Beautiful way of living! Can you guys make a video about clothing? Specially for men. Such a beautiful era for clothing and style but there isn’t a lot of information out there, and would be lovey to learn how to dress according or inspired by the Victorian Era! Thanks!
I was just thinking about doing this for my daughter.
Very talented..
How much for one of those bikes? They look awesome and safe.....
Очень красивый велосипед!
@1:52 Tabreez to Tehran : LOVE LOVE LOVE. For once Iranians are portrayed in a good light in the medias. Thank you :) It means a lot. Love you both Sarah and You.
It’s The Guilded Age by Julian Fellows isn’t it? I’ll watch for it!
I wish you had talked a bit about how riding the hard tire fixed gear bike is different from riding a more modern one.
I guess the invention of the freewheel really changed the whole cycling experience, probably almost as much as multi gear transmissions. BTW that is a beautiful frame.
I would have liked to see how the hard tire straining wire is brazed.
Is the joint seamless in the sense that it doesn't give a perceptible bump?
Wow
Good taste.
You are such an interesting man
Did he say he worked on them for 27 years??
I thought he was about that age🤯 man looks young. Very entertaining video 😊
I have a extremely rare 1880 Singer bike with wooden wheels
Does anyone know the TV series he mentions?
How much would a bicycle from you, your company cost generally?
😍😍
The invention of gravel bikes!
I want one. That is my style
Will you move on to designing gliders and then aeroplanes?
Such a little drive sprocket. Is it even 1.5 to 1? Guessing the riders and roads of the time though weren’t in a hurry.
This one is 1.6 to 1. With 30" wheels, the gearing ends up being the same as a 48" ordinary. The roads were pretty rough, and the people buying the safety bicycles at that time weren't the racers.
I was just thinking at times like these you should be the ones coping the best as your lifestyle doesn’t require too much distruction to the planets health and doesn’t particularly contribute to the constant rising power of the poisonous capitalism that most modern people thrive on . I think we should all take at least a slice of your modest but yet romantic , simple but yet sophisticated lifestyle and we would all do the planet a favour . This Virus is a curse and yet a blessing as I’m hoping that things will change for the better after this and people will start to appreciate little pleasures in life more and see how destructive materialism and social media really is.
It looked like he was sitting on a floating seat when he coasted down hill
Sooo we just gonna ignore that he said he's worked on them for 27 years while looking 27 years old himself? 😐
In this video, he's in his early 40s
The hard tyre safety is a Pearl.
Dude reach out
