Man, that is a beautiful bike. Sad to hear Waterford has closed.

[daniellarson]

Interesting - So Waterford cycles have closed. It was kind of like the last of the Original Schwinn. It's a bit like a loss of a piece of America.

It's a magnificent build, you don't see bikes like that in the wild often in 2023. 👌

I can look at cool bikes all day. Those crank arms look like something out of grandpa’s tool chest. I’m a sucker for well made parts.

[doncompton]

I appreciate how you renovate bikes for riders with small budgets, but I really enjoyed your videos about your Waterford and your Ellis bikes.

[jrother]

Always know where your towel is, Dude.

That is a gorgeous bicycle. Interesting fun facts about Waterford Precision Cycles also. Beautiful cat as well. I Love cats and I have Persians too. 💕🫡

[TN-D]

A useful and beautiful design, allowing us the viewers a bit more access into your philosophy of biking.

Love my Waterford too. Going on 20 years with it. I heard you mention Ellis, I had a chance to talk with Dave when he was at Waterford and he explained how he massaged the lugs on my bike to make it look 👌🏻.

[markschultz]

Nice. Waterford/Richard Schwinn will be missed. Love my Gunnar.

Great looking bike man! I love how you geek out on every little nuance.

[siriosstar]

Beautiful . waaay prettier than the modern aero looking clone bikes of today . 👍

[jmsaltzman]

Thanks for sharing the details on this beauty! I like content like this more than rants fwiw :).

[justintherriault]

That right there is what is known as a good bike!

[ashhill]

Really enjoyed this one! Love seeing personality develop in a bike after years of tweaking and many miles of use and enjoyment

Just wanted to say: Worked at Burley's tandem frame contractor which also used custom butted True Temper... Didja know that most of their tubing was not seamless. It has welded seams and when used on their thin-wall 1.125" diameter tubing, (which we ovalized...) you had to be very careful were the seam was positioned towards the ovalizer's faces, so you didn't crack the seam open. It looks like a nice bike, I'm betting it's supple and comfortable on rougher paved roads, much like my Austro-Daimler Vent Noir. Which has seamless Reynolds 531 tubes.

That is a beautiful bicycle. The hammered fenders are very cool.

[tassierovers]

Thanks Andy. I enjoy this video very much mainly because of your explanation and showing of the components that make up your bike.
Regards Steve.

Should have bought a used touring Waterford when one came up in my frame size on Facebook. Beautifully built .

Would love a video along the lines of of "Must have home tools" or something to that affect. Must have tools for folks wanting to learn how to maintain their own bikes, and teach their kids how to maintain theirs as well. Great content!
