BBC4 9pm 'The Story of the Bicycle'

[swee'pea99]

Just switched on ready for the footie, checking out the listings for anything worth recording for later, and came across this, starting in seven minutes:

I remember seeing it when it came out - if you've not seen it, well worth a watch.

Cheers. Set Sky+ to record it. Can then always delete it if it's bottie droppings.

Is it the one where he gets a Brooks saddle and goes to the Campagnola factory? I seem to remember the bike turning out a bit of a dog's dinner.

That's the one, well summed as well DD

Saw it back 2010 when it was first on, nice work if you can get it.

Yes, me too. He got the colours all wrong too.

He got the colours all wrong too.

Yes ... He was happy with his bike but I didn't like the colour scheme either.

Did the wheels use plain gauge spokes?

I think they did but he only paid $300 IIRR

Well spotted! Let's hope I can keep my eyes open.

Doesn't matter how you spell it, it's still not a patch on Shimono

Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that. i think the celeste Bianchi's look shyte. But others love them.

Myself.. I think it looked really nice.

 

[fossyant]

It was the Brooks that spoiled it.

 

[Speicher]

I really liked the colour scheme, and wonder where I have seen that combination before.

A repeat of a boring and uninteresting narcissistic load of nonsense.
