Fantastic insight on how bikes were made back then.

kinda cheesy they had to incorporate a cartoon with it, but the bike building part was awesome!

neet to see how things were put together back then.

now-a-days it more like...
1. open the box from china
2. insert stem and pedals
3. tighten the above
4. roll it out

I have been working in the business jet industry for the last 21 years, its amazing and sad to see that more and more major subassemblies are being built in Mexico, and China. Makes me wonder how much longer I've got ???? :roll: :roll:
