Plenty of crap comments...first an alloy steel like the Reynolds 531 can be used for making good bicycles. Aluminium like the 6061 T6 is not always the best metal for bicycles, and carbon composite is pretty expensive.
Second the speaker is wrong; the frame is not welded nor soldered but BRAZED with a cupro-silver alloy. It's the common method used with highly alloyed steels that cannot be welded.
The comment about working women stinks! Happily during WWII women worked in the factories...
WTH!!! Since when did women work in assembly lines? Hell, since when did women earn the right to work in the first place. They should be at home making my sandwiches in a thong, raising my children, and scrubbing my floors!!
You're a fucking idiot. Soldering involves joining two things by melting another metal onto the joints; not actually melting the joints themselves. Do some research so you don't sound like a fucking moron.
This is still not a soldering process. For one, most soldering is for circuit joints, and as I've said earlier, soldering involves heating the two joints and melting another metal to form a bond. That is not being done here.
@ElegantCircuit dude wtf u have 2 pipes red hot(not melting ur adding a fusing metal to it and that melts on the hot pipes that what they are doing u retard! i know im a welder and i hat soldering classes to u piece of fuck!
You stupid ass piece of fucking ass shit. The metal is being melted in order to fuse with the surrounding metal you fucking idiot ass fucking ass hole bitch.
@freemusicblogg I ride a 1969 Steel Frame Austrian Bike. I rode with a group for 35+ miles and my bike was one of the fastest...probably the weight. haha
Worst narrator ever.

the 'welding' is actually brazing, the 'paint' is actually powder coat. And the spoke machine puts 'tension', not pressure on the spokes.

@AndrewKH85 Yes, they confuse 'assemble', with 'make'. You make parts, then assemble them.
