Isle of Man Tourist Trophy racer and Scania truck mechanic Guy Martin is not only a talented rider, he’s become some sort of a biking world icon. Guy is rather obsessed with mechanical devices and the intricacies of manufacturing. Cut Media thought he’d be the ideal candidate for an Orange Bikes factory documentary.

In the centre of Halifax, Guy takes us on a tour of the manufacturing process, cutting, bending and welding aluminium, forming complex shapes to create a bicycle frame. Hand-built, properly engineered craftsmanship is a black art in today’s norm of sterile outsourced manufacturing. Watch the YouTube video for an entertaining look at something not often seen.

Kell came with the concept of having a bike that would seem logical for a person of Lisbeth Salander‘s (played by Rooney Mara) age to own. The bike they ended up building was based on a late 60s Honda CB350. 3 examples were made for the movie.
