Paul, I very much wish i was able to attend your bike show! Thank you for your videos! i hope one day i could visit your workshop! Have a blast this weekend please! David.
Thank you for the tour of your incredible bike builds! Amazing the variety of creations/builds! Can't wait to see what you get into next! Go Paul and Mitch, keep moving forward!
Hi Paul, what a superb collection! I specially like your old style bike as the Girafe bike and 1888's style bike. Also, I'm interested by your shaft drive bike. I wondered if one day you had made a bike with curved tubes. I have the answer. Fantastic job! Can you show us one day how you bend these tubes frame without crushing or marking them? Also, thank you Mitch for filming and assembling these good quality videos for our pleasure! Have a great bike show!
My Reactor works really great as an ebike for fast cross-country. Good to see most design elements of the Libido... Alhough i must say the spring Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock feels better than an air one i tried due to more linearity of travel. Will be a good bike forever.
I love eBee and the 69er and I'd love to see them become real bikes for anyone to buy.... I bet a few bike companies would love that design because it looks very KTM (eBee) and very downhill (69er) but they're also very different. If I ever had a PB bike I'd most likely keep it forever... 😁👍❤️ Edit: The Romax should be the Bro-max like Brodie Maximum... That seems ery fitting for such an awesome looking bike. 😊
It’s not possible to pick a favorite, but I do love that “city bike” and the 69er. Cool to see all the bikes together would be awesome to see them in person one day! Thanks for sharing Mr. Brodie and Mitch
Hi there. I lived in Prince George and commuted to work. My Brodie Romulus was the best bike I ever had. When we moved to Predator Ridge in Vernon, the hills and my knees just didn't cooperate with my little red beauty! I posted it on FB marketplace and it was snapped up by a fellow in Kelowna in about the same time it took him to drive here! So glad it went to someone who knew the quality! Thanks for your passion!
I have one of 75 Brodie Libido that is blue frame with white rear triangle. It is one of four different types of Brodie bikes . I am sorry I did not get take your Frame building 101. Thanks Bill
Paul, your skill in design is superb! Your ability to think outside the box and create such a large variety of such well executed bikes puts you in to a legendary status bracket. I'm not blowing smoke here or pushing hyperbole. Just from a purely aesthetic point of view, these bikes are works of art, and the execution appears to be near perfection. Not to mention the mechanical designs that function so well and follow the form of the bikes design. In my opinion that is your genius, to mate the form and function into a piece of art while at the same time producing a mechanically superior product that takes in to account the right angles, the right height, and length, and proportions that when put together cannot be mistaken for any other bike builder. That fussy frame builder vibe just literally glows from the bikes. Thanks for sharing Paul, and Mitch. I for one am grateful for your efforts in sharing on TH-cam, and you guys definitely deserve more than you are getting, that is for sure!! 👑
It is a pleasure to see a collection like this with the history. THANK YOU for your amazing videos 😃 I´m a Rocky mountain fan and have two of them, and always follow some builders like Kent Eriksen (one RM has a seat post from him) and many other frame builders and pioneers of MTB. One specially is still active and that is why in 2023 I have ordered a Yo Eddie Team Ti custom. I see all this videos and I whant to ride some of the MTB history. Sadly I´m too far to go to the show (EU) Good luck 🙂👍
If a bicycle company, like Cannondale for instance, who was pretty innovative had come all of these bikes in their history, that would be pretty good. For an individual builder to have designed and built all of these bikes and more, and then add in an Excelsior motor cycle design and build. That is an incredible history. Thanks for sharing all of this. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more on your shaft drive bike.
I presume you're talking about the shaft drive bike. The drive is transmitted to the rear wheel by a shaft that spins inside the chainstay, eliminating the chain, and if done right, making the drivetrain maintenance free - though since it's singlespeed it won't work everywhere. By far the neatest integration of a shaft drive system I've seen, though there aren't many, because turning the drive through 90 degrees and back again makes the system heavier and more complicated than a chain drive because it has to resist the thrust forces between the bevel gears, which act in directions normal bike frames don't need to take loads in at all.
I think all of them sick looking bikes, but if I had to pick my top 4 it would #1 Libido #2 69er #3 eBee #4 City Bike I really want a large frame Libido, it's just so sweet looking I really wish I had the money I'd love to own one it would be my daily rider, but imma poor lol so that'll never happen unfortunately. 👍👍
Shaft drive bikes are so uncommon and interesting I can't believe people didn't notice! I see hundreds if not thousands of bikes every day here in Belgium but I can count the number of shaft drive bikes I've seen on one hand. The only explanation I've heard as to why they're so uncommon is that they feel kinda bland to ride for the price.
Good luck with the show. I had a Jetson that broke. Probably my fault as I was running a double crown fork. Pretty sure you told me the Jetson was main overseas.
Paul, I very much wish i was able to attend your bike show! Thank you for your videos! i hope one day i could visit your workshop! Have a blast this weekend please! David.
Thanks David. The Show went very well, and now I can relax!
Excellent! I was lucky enough yesterday to spend some time with your Excelsior at Dream Cycle….. nothing short of awesome!
Thanks!
Cool video. Cool guy. Cool bikes. What’s not to like!
Great collection Paul. A showcase for your talents.
Thank you for the tour of your incredible bike builds! Amazing the variety of creations/builds! Can't wait to see what you get into next! Go Paul and Mitch, keep moving forward!
Thanks. We will keep moving forward!
Amazing body of work.
Brodie I love your bikes. I really love the cruiser bike you made. Bike life 💯

Have a great bike show!
Theres a lot to be proud of there Paul.
Love your back stories Paul. Appreciate you sharing.
Great show on the bikes
What a great collection Paul, but my favourite is still that "City" bike, love everything about it, perfect!
My Reactor works really great as an ebike for fast cross-country. Good to see most design elements of the Libido... Alhough i must say the spring Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock feels better than an air one i tried due to more linearity of travel. Will be a good bike forever.
Paul, thanks for being an amazing Canadian. As an Albertan I hope to continue the legacy of Canadian frame builders one day! Happy trails :)
Loved the show, Paul. I’m glad I made the trip to the big smoke! Good to see you looking well!
Many thanks!

Great little tour. Thank you Paul and Mitch.
I have cool bicycle collection.
But I didn't build one of them.
One day I will build components and frames.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome 👏👏👏
Awesome display of craftsmanship, thanks for sharing !
Much love from Amsterdam ✌️
City bike is looking awesome! Even with the dent on a top tube...but that`s city ;)

Great collection, especially the chainless.
Thank you for a lovely tour of your bikes. 😁
Those are some incredible and delicate machines!
A great collection of your expertise 👏👏👏👌
Cheers Chris
Incrível, você tem fãs no Brasil... trabalho maravilhoso

Thanks for posting your museum tour!
Another great video Paul! Very enjoyable.
Wish I was there and hope it was a success
Lovely machines!
I think I'm responsible for about 20% of the views of the 69er video. Thanks for the great video, gentlemen. I hope you have a fantastic bike show.
The shop drive bike (right?) has a very interesting headset/bar setup. Great looking bike to be sure.

I think all of them sick looking bikes, but if I had to pick my top 4 it would
#1 Libido
#2 69er
#3 eBee
#4 City Bike
I really want a large frame Libido, it's just so sweet looking I really wish I had the money I'd love to own one it would be my daily rider, but imma poor lol so that'll never happen unfortunately. 👍👍
i hope to have an original bike hand made by paul. that would be priceless!
Good to see that Paul got a hair cut so he too will look his best at the show…😂 I am sure it will be a huge success.
Love the bikes. Question: What is the story with the ducati single engine sitting on the top shelf 7:54?

Somewhere I missed why you chose to build a style you call Gravel Bike without suspension? why is/was that?
Good luck with the show. I had a Jetson that broke. Probably my fault as I was running a double crown fork. Pretty sure you told me the Jetson was main overseas.
Always a pleasure. Thank you for sharing with the world.
Thank you...
69er looks like it has a ZZYZX fork or is it a Hanebrink?
What was it like to ride the shaft drive bike?
Really wish I could make the show.
I have a 1985 Raleigh Pulsar, apparently it's classed as Vintage lol 😂
It has a few years on my 1989 Specialized anyway 😀. Still rides well, but fully rigid is quite limiting when the trails get rough.
❤
Romax means many things to many people.
👍👍😎👍👍
My personal libido has cost me more than just money!
I need to check my blood glucose level, after all this eye candy. 🥰
Did you know Tom Bruni Paul?
Paul.....I've sent you a Facebook message.
Romax = Sussudio
Suspensions ugh
Oh to be young, arrogant and foolish again.
boring
