I just want to mention one thing (something I forgot when I started on vintage frames)... there's a very good chance the paint is lead based so any sanding etc. should be done very carefully and with full breathing and eye protection. A Viking Warlord was the first one I restored, in this colour too.

By "Preserving," I mean leaving the bike in "as found" condition, even if the bike needs serious work and cannot be ridden. Some people even save the old, ruined and rotted tires if the tires will hold any air at all. That is not an aspect of the bike hobby which interests me.

Thank you for making a video about a Viking bike. I own a Lambert and a Viscount, but Viking bikes are not common in the U.S. I agree with your idea of keeping bikes on the road being the goal more than "preserving" bikes, unless the bike in question is truly special.

This was the first new bike my folks ever bought me. Spot on with the age.... Shame it didn't have the "goldstar" decals on there.... Nice one

Andy, great job as always! They can't all be Ferrari's. One question, bike fenders were they original? I kinda loved them.

Nice project!

I had a Viking, it was my second true Road bike, after a BSA Tour De France, it was a Viking Vision, in purple, full Shimano 600 Reynolds 531 frame, I loved that bike, well until I totalled it into the neighbours front wall.

I have a vintage Peugeot folding bike p20 taking to find a owners manual for it

hola me gusto mucho tu video venderias la bicicleta saludos desde Mexico

You're the best Andy. I will bring you beer if ever I visit from Canada. I'm restoring a 1987 Peugeot "Sport."

Hi I'm restoring my granpa's old Bottecchia, from the late '70s i think. Do you tink that if i change the (broken) non aero brake levers with the aero one i'll ruin the bike or decrese the value?

I'm just looking for a Carlton continental 1976 bicycle that is in okay condition ready to be stripped down . For a low price

I can't find it , are you sure it's a bicycle?

If you find a Carlton continental with not a lot of rust (okay condition too strip down) then how much would you be asking for it?

Thank you

However I'm looking for a Carlton continental for my dad , I was going to strip it for parts and put it on his old one. Have you got one in an okay condition?

I have seen the ad on eBay and the bike looks amazing but I can't really afford that bike

My first racer is a Dawes Giro 200 and I'm looking for a retro racer but I don't know where to look, where could I find one or are yours up for sale and if you have any what is the lowest price?

My first racer was a Viking Superstar II. it was in a beautiful metallic mid-blue.

When looking at this way of handling the frame. Doesn't it become a problem with different colour tones on the fresh paint and the par which you "miss" when masking over the decals?
