As mentioned in the video, the American Racer was the first bike I did back in the late 70's. It remains as popular today as it did then. And of course when you make any single frame bicycle you get a request for a tandem. These two bicycles are fairly easy to make and I've included a couple of simple to make tools to make the job easier. The chain on these bikes really draw the customer attention. Although it is only a small part of the overall bicycle or tandem, it enhances the finished piece. From a business view, these two bicycles are priced do that they are a step up from the Small Table Top Bicycles. I've found that having different price levels that are stair stepped, from the least expensive to the most expensive offers the consumer a choice, and we all like to have a selection to choose from. I've noticed that these are most often purchased a gifts for cyclists. The standing versions go well on a desk or a cabinet. The wall hanging bikes go well when used as a grouping of other bicycles or with some prints or photographs. As stated in the video, today there are lots of frame configuration, so you can choose to construct a frame to your preference. The techniques are the same. You can easily use the same techniques in the video and build a mountain bike. Mountain bikes are popular.

I will say right up front that I'm a fan of Georges videos. Out of the large number of people that make videos that shouldn't, because of quality of the videos. George really does watch the videos to see what they look like and to see if he is getting his point across. This one is on two smaller bikes that are something to add if are already selling the RG45 wall and table sculptures. or just need to see some of the ideas to build your own stuff. He does show the building of some of the tools/fixtures he uses. It is another good one. The bikes are simpler in the construction and number of parts used so they can be made at a faster pace.
