Watched it last night,must have been brilliant to be able to have such a bike built and see where everything came from.

It was an enjoyable programme but.... a brooks saddle? On a hand-built race bike? The Brooks factory looked like a place where medieval chastity belts are made and the technology is no different.

I loved it. His enthusiasm for all things quality and craftsmanship in general were infectious. I don't suppose many non cyclists actually watched it but if they did I could see them wandering into the next bike shop they passed.
