Imagine having a TOM RITCHEY frame, repaired by PAUL BRODIE… wow.

[torsacci]

Every time I hear the outro music I have this little bit thought of disappointment. "Is it over already?" As always Paul and Mitch, good video. Good to see you out in the shop doing what you love.

That feels so satisfying to watch. If I was a steel frame, I'd book a wellness-vacation in your shop!

*_Japanese made stuff is really good. Back in the 70s everyone complained about Japanese stuff as garbage, but it wasn't true. In fact, their stuff was very high quality back then and still is today. They take a lot of pride in their craftmanship. Much like you do Mr Brodie._*

This was so cool seeing a OG frame builder repairing a OG frame, especially using the belt sander you bought from him back in the 80's. Im sure mr Ritchey would approve. If it was my frame I'd have you sign the chainstay and i'd clearcoat the whole frame as is 😎😎😎

I always find the brazing videos fascinating, so many years of talent make it look so simple.

[Marcelsk]

Great to see you working on bikes again!

P22 in the classic WCS fade - one of the dream bikes at the time & still today. Along with the Bridgestone MB-1 and of course the Brodie Romax! Love to see this come full circle. I feel the need to build up a classic hardtail and ride it hard on my Scots island trails.

[sebastienbgagnon]

seriously, watching this... watching you work... wow... it gets to a point where the sum of knowledge, skills and teaching clarity transforms into pure poetry

I don't think it can get any better

that's perfection right here, something that inspires and drives you up

respect !

merci pour ça

[orlandostead]

Paul great post as always, remembering brazing bicycle frames together as a teenager with a carbon arc torch.

[stephenwilliams]

I like how you measure in imperial on longer components then switch to metric and sometimes the other away around. I'm the same at work it confuses the people under 50 odd years of age lol . Great vid as normal.

[siTTinLo]

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. You’re a very talented fabricator and an amazing teacher.

Paul, love to see you again ... but big thanks to Mitch to team up with you and make this awesome content available!

[letitroll]

A real treat to watch a craftsman at work. Well done Paul.

[ManekiNico]

25:45 "I made a fancy one. It's even balanced, look at that!" EPIC!!!

[londonpickering]

Satisfying! Thank you for taking us on a really cool ride!

[IamTheFilmIndustry]

so hypnotizing and educational to watch you work on that Ritchey P21. Two legends of steel-frames. 👍👍
Cheers from Berlin, germany. We MTBers here, who became MTBers in the early 90s, still know your beautiful bikes very well 🙂

[rayshortall]

I've been in engineering all off my working life (74 now) but I've never done anything on bicycles, so I find this fascinating .Keep up the good work Paul, and well filmed Mitch!

[barneyjensen]

Initially I wasn't interested in the title but I thought I'd watch. It was really fascinating and so well explained with simplicity. The production was great. While I'm sure I won't do that a lot of the concepts and tid bits are potentially useful in future endeavors. I really like that. THANKS to both of you.

A legend not beeing to bad working on another legends work! So great to see you again Paul! Would be nice to see Tom Ritchey here aswell, as he influenced you for so long .... Hey Tom.... Greets Tim
