Not only a brilliant British engineer but also a very modest man with a brilliant brain

[dazredmill]

He is the quintessential shed genius. Under appreciated and undeterred. He should be used as a engineering ambassador to all apprentices.

[grathlingillingham]

The look, the sound, this is beyond engineering. This is art.

[leightonhughes]

I cant put into words the modesty and genius of this man. "it was no problem I just reversed the rockers" !!!

[mitchellnix]

I think the real genius of this (and I don't think genius is overstating Allan Milliard's engineering skills) is that the bike genuinely looks as though it came out of the factory like that. What a wonderful machine.

[peterturnbull]

What a genius - Allen creates these masterpieces using mainly handtools in his garage - they always look like a factory built machine - what they might have been made given the right inspiration. Love watching his channel - and the ticking clock in the background soothes the soul.

[SpiritintheSky.]

One of Allen's most surprising and impressive creations. Wonderful.

[geoffshilton]

Pure Engineering Genius in everything he creates. Unsurpassed in my opinion.

[moderatefkr]

Very very rarely do I come across a genuine candidate for a huge congratulatory handshake. He's modest and smart. None of the modern fake hard act bullshit we see from custom guys.

Congratulations Alan. You've done something amazing here. Plus you're an inspiration for my own builds. Can't wait to see this bike and meet its builder in person.

[highdownmartin]

Out of all the amazing factory looking creations he’s made, this is the bike I would actually want to own and ride. It’s just so nice.

[terrytopliss]

I could sit and listen to Allen all day long.

[roeng]

The world needs more Allen Millyards and his ilk, and less wanna-be pop singers-dancers. This man should have his own programme on the telly, it would be a refreshing change.

[Ambrosius]

Nothing have impressed me as much on YouTube as Allen Millyard

[daltonknox]

Hat's off. What a wonderful beast.

[LiamH]

"And then I rather took a fancy to the Space shuttle so I built my own. I made a few improvements but most of the work I was able to do with my grinder and the tools in my chook shed." I won't be in the least bit surprised when, not if, this is a line from an upcoming vid. This man is either a genius, a sculptural artist, an engineering phenom, a god amongst machinists, a master of the hidden arts of genuine magic or a combination of all five. I'm going with the combination of all. My lord this man is inspiring, I think I'll go back and fiddle with my Honda CT70!

[patreich]

Im Irish and this man is an inspiration love him, he reminds me so much of Fred Dibnah who i loved to watch as a child. Give this man a TV show.

[richardcasey]

That’s the most beautiful Velo I’ve ever seen!

[AllenMillyard]

Thank you to everyone for all the nice comments

[pippiperade]

"Other than that, the whole bike's standard..!" - what a modest genius.. He makes it all sound so simple. What a great bike!

[MJD]

This man is right up there with Fred Dibnah as being one of the Greatest Brits!
