Представьте себе что у одного коллекционера старинных автомобилей скончалась тетушка, и после её похорон, в старом гараже в саду, нетронутом 80 лет, обнаружили старинный автомобиль. Как вы думаете, его оставят в том же виде как нашли или отреставрируют? Он выглядел бы лучше если бы его отреставрировали. С велосипедом то же самое, а о душе пусть думает епископ.

Absolutely the correct way to preserve. This bicycle was engineered to be maintained. We need to continue this philosophy. Thank you for a job well done.😁

I know I'm very late here and no-one will read this but I am amazed at how repairable this bicycle is. Every single piece can be replaced no matter how tiny it is. The build quality is robust. No flimsy part to be seen anywhere. Companies nowadays are always after cutting corners. Regarding the restoration process most people are at the extreme ends of two opposite sides. Some hate the fact that the patina is removed or a new coat of paint is done and vice versa. I'm kinda in the middle. If the rust has entered under the old paint you sand it and paint it to prevent further rusting. If it's a few chipping here and there or the paint has rubbed off due to regular use, keep it as is. I follow this philosophy while repairing things in my house. Thank you.

I read :) The robustness is the reason why i owned 30 years ago a bike from second world war. I don't know the brand anymore. But it was the only bike that was able to keep up my paper boy job. 50kg load on the bicycle rack was no problem for that bike. It reduced my round trips to base station enormously.

Bicycles are amazing! After lying dormant, and forgotten for 85 years, having survived a eawar, and still intact. is a testament to who built the bike, who owned the bike, who preserved the bile, and who restored the bike. A bicycle is evidence of eternal life, Thank you for chronicling this restoration!

Magnificent restoration, you've kept the bike's patina, which is part of its charm. Finally someone who doesn't repaint everything, who doesn't change everything. I restore vintage bikes myself, but more from the 80s. I have the same principles as you, in the sense that, as I said, you restore, not renovate. I found this restoration really nice, I hope you'll do more of them 👍

I just did a 1947 cwc roadmaster. Was my grandfathers. Paint was too far gone to save as it was in the barn loft for almost 40 years. Maybe longer. I kept the original paint options that were available. It was black and white with red pinstripes.. I put it all back but switched too gold pin stripes . It looks soo classy. And was an option.. it will be my sunny day rider with the kids.

A most excellent video! I enjoyed every minute of it and I applaud your effort in preserving the bike.

This is a 10 point restoration. Saved the original paint. Usually "restoers" kills the object by removingvLl the old original paint.. Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland

This video is the antidote to the over-restoration movement. And I am of the opinion that over-restoration is not unique to bicycles, but furniture and automobiles are victims, as well. Inspiring!

Great vehicle and restoration. What I particularly notice is that the mudguard around the front wheel is nice and long, not like most modern bicycles that throw dirt and water at themselves and the rider's shoes. I don't understand this step backwards. Dirt everywhere because a short mudguard is considered sportier and cooler? People used to be smarter. For my needs, a mudguard has to be even longer, the tangent of the tire, along which dirt flies away, has to run below the bottom bracket and the pedals. So I attached a self-made protective shield made of neoprene and a steel wire bracket to my bike. So everything stays clean below for much longer. Although my bike is 54 years younger than the Wanderer here, it is also 31 years old and on the road every day in summer and winter, I take good care of it.

Germany makes some great quality products and vehicles. The world could have been so much better.

What an authentic restoration. The pedals - mind-blowing simple engineering built with permanence in mind. MASSIVE, thoroughly thought out, simple, durablity in a bicycle. Leave it to the Germans - champions of conveying utility, simplicity, affordability, durability and elegance through sound engineering in everything they do. The only thing - the brakes: not at all convincing, but that allows for uninterrupted forward progress, I suppose.

Fantastic work. And the idea of keeping the history and patina of the bike is just great . Tthanks for that!

I am a bicycle mechanic...I know this may mean nothing to most everyone but....the clamping of a frame by it's top-tube........ it's a thing which makes some mechanics absolutely irate. The work he's doing is lovely, meticulous, and he seems organized indeed. The application of torque, either cleaning motion and or headset/bb/pedal install when a frame is clamped at the top-tube could "kink" the frame. I've seen it happen. I've done it myself when I was a young mechanic. I watched an apprentice crack a frame this way and then get fired as he was "sure that it wasn't the clamp....the frame was like that." I just.....get a dummy post or something.....it may be insane of me to complain or mention this but I love bikes and the entirety of our industry.....save the frames and use dummy seat posts. Sorry to vent. Lovely video though Dear Comrade.

Basic bicycles haven't changed much in nearly 100 years. Even with hydraulic brakes and electronic shifting, 99% of the bicycles will encounter will be this basic design. I've loved being a mechanic for about 30 years. And the greatest joy is working on simple bikes.

Wanderer war eine Firma aus der sächsischen Stadt Chemnitz am Rande des Erzgebirges.Wanderer baute Werkzeugmaschinen,Büromaschinen, Fahrräder,Motorräder und Autos .Ab 1932 wurde die Autoproduktion Teil von Auto Union. Daraus entstand Audi .Unter dem Namen Wanderer werden immer noch Fahrräder neu produziert.

Absolutely beautiful, well done! 👏👏👏👏

That's amazing! More of a conservation than a restoration. The patina on this bicycle can never be duplicated. What you did adds value to this already stunning and rare bike. The only change I would've made would be to find period correct pedals. Congrats.
