My Dad was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park and worked on Enigma, the Ultra Secret, during WWII. He was one of 13 cryptographers sent from US, at Churchill’s request.

Damn that's based
WOW..His mother was part of the team who broke the *ENIGMA MACHINE* unbelievable...🙌🙌
I wish that bike could talk! what stories of history it could tell. thank you for preserving it
As that beautiful bike got tlc, this lady does as well. Great rebuild. Wonderful
These brits... these goddamn brits.... Making me cry whenever they please.
Well you certainly cracked that restoration 👍🚴♂️.
What an amazing piece of history. It looks so nice now! :)
The bicycle is an amazing invention
To one and all, Thank you from us all.
My Dad was also in hut 6. After the war he could never leave the country again or speak of his service in England.
A nice BSA bicycle... you know what they say, the next step up is a nice BSA motorcycle... I can only imagine what tales this bike can tell... for all we knew, Adam Turing may have borrowed this bike for a bit...

This show is an example of perfect tv and what it can do to ALL the senses, a lesson should be learned from this by the whole of the so called reality dross.
This is "TV".. must put on your safety helmet before the test run!
More of these please. Love the show but can’t watch it in the U.S.A.
My Dad may have met yer Mum, from his time at Bletchley, Stuart Frazier, hut 6
he's almoast certainly ruined the heat treatment on the internals, you can see it's blued at 5:27, and the wonkey brazing, and mig for thin sheet metal!!
It works
I will admit I didn't realise the Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub gear system was that old.
Is there a USA version of this show?

Read The Ultra Secret, and Enigma, there is a movie, Jude Frazier, my pop was a hero, I miss him so he passed before we knew about his contribution at Bletchley and work on breaking the Nazi code. He could never talk about it. I imagine he could have known yer Mum. His name was Stuart Frazier. Maybe their paths crossed.

It was going so well until they insisted, for TV purposes, that he must wear a helmet for riding at walking speed for 50 yards. Did they also insist that he wear a 'walking helmet' when he walked back to his car?
Most boring show... All you are doing is replacing an original parts of the things that is memorable to your customer..... You are replacing show ot repairing...

It wouldn't function 1/2 mile with that sprocket! What's he supposed to do? Build the worn areas of the sprocket teeth back up with a welder and dress the profile with an angle grinder! How original would that have looked. The saddle collapsing over the seatpost would be unwanted drama! The basket is self explanatory!

It may be boring to some, but no matter how small or big, its history and a well loved item, I love this show ❤️
The guy working on the bike must be lower spectrum . So daft .
