Hey, thanks for engaging and commenting👌 I agree with you, that the white bib looks best if you’re fit😂 or like it’s put in the tune I did with the legendary Lee Hollywood Turner: ‘white bibs rock when you’re tan and fit’ The tune is called ‘Legalize it’ and it’s in the music videos playlist on my channel. For the jersey: it’s a design I made for an Italian brand, called Sartoria Ciclistica. I guess it’s still available in their webshop. Once again: thanks for engaging!!💥

@@HOTON You got it! I noticed my original post kept inserting bib where i meant to say jersey, so I corrected it.

ThankYou! And thanks for taking the time to comment👍 I really dig the prossess of building a bike… imaginating what might look best, and start searching for the right components….

Thanks! And thanks again for taking the time to comment👌

Hi ThankYou! Hunting for frames is the best winter season hobby👍 I’ve bought frames on eBay and other 2.nd hand platforms online. One website i can recommend is: subito.it This is an italian site where you can find real treasures, if you know excactly what you’re after🤩 Frames, yes, thats one lucky shot. Then i may spend years imaginating what may be the greatest looking build. I use the bike as it is, and slowly But surely, i hunt down the parts that make the bike 100% BLING😁👌 Got one more De Rosa bike, also presented as a bike Crib Tour. And… this week i completed a new build which will be presented later this autumn. Can never get enough Nice bikes, right?😂😂😂

Yes, im sure you’re right. My english is far from perfect. The message still is that i enjoy this bike, even though its not high end. 😀

Yeah, thats a good point! Thanks for engaging in answering this dilemma. But still, i got to remind you that you would have to wear that helmet while sleeping, showering, during job interviews, in your own marriage, in the swimmingpool, on the plane, etc. etc. No, actually: you wouldnt have to wear it while sleeping, as you wouldnt be able to drink while sleeping either. It must be fair 😂

@@HOTON I'm fine with that. Drinking daily would fuck up my skin and I'd look 10-15 years older just within 2 years, my liver would be fucked, marriage? Who would marry a drunkard? In terms of the latter, and those that would... What kind of women are that? I could die 20-30 years earlier than I otherwise would, too. Driving? Forget that. If I got a child? What a legacy to leave behind lmfao Also, you didn't specify what kind of helmet, so I don't need to have a crazy huge one like in american football, I could get one of those goalies in football (soccer) use

Yes!👏👏👏👏 You are on to something! For the record: i didnt specify what helmet it should be. Any roadcycling helmet would do. Doesnt have to be a futuristic looking aero helmet😂 But Hey, maybe you can come up with an Even more intriguing cyclist dilemma than i did? I’d love to see what you come up with👌

@@HOTON Nah, I'm going with the helmets goalies in football (soccer for the US crowd) use. Way less problematic.

Yeah, dont have to be f’in Nostradamus to see how ambicious you are. CHEERS💥🍻

Well, its actually the opposite… Tape goes the classical direction below the hoods. Which in my opinion is the most important, as the hands Pressure against the handlebar is higher when you are in the drops👌

Thanks man🤜💥 Knowing yourself, is knowing others, or…? 😂

Ha ha thanks for reminding me, But the #newkitday music video will be next up, i believe. Right now, for some reason im Very much into the Cyclist Crypt demotivational course. World need demotivation🤘😎✌️

@@HOTON Hah, that’s right and so I always tell my overly enthusiastic and fitter than me cyclist pals. Demotivation is key!

Oh that one’s easy: Photoshop! Just check out the Cyclist playlist😂😂😂

@@HOTON So you sort of admit white bibs have this one single flaw?😂😂😂

Probably color safe bleach.

@@edouardpalu221 yes, especially using sunscreen, sun oil, and trying to have the bib cleaned using a cheap italian washing machine…. with the local chalky water…

Hi, my special take on it is that when you pass the hood, you go all the way up to the middle of the handle bar along the handle bar, and then you wrap the tape on your way back to the hood. That’s my take on it and as far as I’ve seen there’s nobody else who wrap the ball type in this way. It makes the result look very neat:)

Ok! Any particular brand you have in mind? I’ll gladly check it out👌

At least you have the courage to admit it👌

Or, i would say: for all who dares! Come on and rock those white bibs😂🤘

ThankYou for those well spoken words! I can truly sense your knowledge on this field! The wheels you see in the video are 2008 model, ridden in all conditions, all year around… on salty winter roads… so at some point they became a bit off. I got one of those spoke keys, But its the wrong size. I tried using the adjustable one, But when the nipple is oxydized aluminium, it won’t move… And… im one of those guys who find buying servicing tools the least interesting… I totally agree that spokes shouldnt be loosened, to true the wheel. Wheel needs tension balance. The idea of this video is to show that it’s possible to fix your wheel with this one, very basic tool. I’m not saying it’s the best way. But it’s a solution, and it’s been working for me the last 7 years with no worries. And I suspect there are cyclists out there like myself, who could do well with this technique: the sub optimal diy way;) Finally: applause to you for taking the time to share your knowledge in such a great way. I don’t do many videos on bike repair, but if you haven’t seen my video on semi reversed bar tape, I would be intrigued to know what you think of this way of wrapping the handlebar… Cheers😁

i totally agree - i bought a used trekking bike and it has some well made wheels i even crashed against the side of a car at full speed which snapped my fork in half but the wheels didnt budge one single bit:D they are heavy but i dont think they will ever break

Hi, thanks for engaging! Yes, i knew there would be reactions to this video, and thats why i initially stated: this is for the ones who dont have the tools to do the job, nor the cash to have it made by professionals, and still need some advice to fix it themselves. You got really good points. Still, this video is made for the more careless audience than yourself. And i suspect there are some viewers that might have good use of my way of doing it😂 So if anyone tries out my method, it would be interesting to hear how it works out!

🤜💥

Anything really… hard contrasts black/white, or La Vie Claire, would be Cool… The pink jersey im using on this video thumbnail is one i designed for Sartoria Ciclistica… works fine, i guess. And if you want to add a suttle splash of rainbow colour, you could hunt down an Amore & Vita Galatron jersey (the one with fluorescent yellow collar) which is a visual killah😎🤘

Anything you want

Thanks! This video is my way of ‘scientifically’ calulating the measure that everyone else is discussing endlessly😂👌

😂😂😂 some of the time, YES. But this year NO👌

Hey, ThankYou for getting back to me so positively! Tell all your cyclist friends✌️

Well, thats an option for some… If i’m heading for rainbow colours, i wouldn’t push it further than wearing Amore & Vita 🌈

Yes… because white wasnt invented yet😉

@@HOTON LOL! That flashed me back to when cassettes were adding more and more cogs. 7, then 9 if I remember correctly. The mantra for people upset about it were saying, "Eddie won five on five." I couldn't help but think that if Eddie had an option for more range and cogs, he wold have used them.

😁 🤜💥

@@HOTON haha that can't be true! we all know Eddy is God ✌️😆

Yes, Eddie is god, But i dont want to live my life like every day is freakin’ Eroica… 😉 CHEERS to you for engaging👉🏆

Ciao GRAZZIE Ciao 🤜💥

😂🤘

ThankYou for engaging! Guess there are only two options here. My idea for this video is you grabbing the handlebar, and do the ‘thumb to index finger’ test, to verify you get the wrapping right. Road Cyclists can argue forever. At least then we’ve got something fun to do😂

Hi thanks for commenting! Yes i guess thats one of the downsides to this kind of frame. No spoke trouble for me though. Got a pair of vintage mavic ksyrium with aero spokes. Zero trouble. But, its my holiday bike which i get to use 4 weeks per year🌞

This bike is 56cm, which I believe is perfect. I’m 187cm tall, and this bike is purposely slightly downscaled. The advantage is to fit it with a good looking 120mm stem🤘 If you are buying a vintage bike, it’s easier regarding sizing. Newer bike, sloped sizes, and different carbone frames… makes it harder. But if you’re in the market for vintage bikes, older than 2005, one centimetre is one centimetre 👌

Awsome thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. 🙏

🤜💥

Thankyou! Yes, I dig this brand! De Rosa has several nice vintage models to choose from. Merak and Protos are also nice models from De Rosa. If you haven’t seen my other De Rosa 3THL ‘Crib Tour’ you might also enjoy that video👌

ThankYou! Building, or tuning bikes, makes me go into a ‘bubble state of mind’. During the cold and snowy winter if Norway: what beats buying bike parts online, imaginating how the ride will be next summer?😂 Got one more build video on my Channel: the De Rosa 3thl. Right now im working on a LOOK496. Fantastic bike. But i won’t make a video of it until it reaches prefection…

@@HOTON Awesome,looking forward to the LOOK496 build,their bikes are superb like TIME and the pedals.Safe riding.💯👌🏻💪🏻✌🏻🚴

👌

Ciaoooo Ragazziiiiiii! Shurely i will🤜💥

ThankYou! 👌 im closing in on 100 videos, so its a lot of… quite original stuff to dig into😂

You found it, and im glad you like it😁👌

Yes, i see;) At least you know whats the latest trends✌️

Sure thing🤜💥💥💥

😁👌

Hi, thanks for commenting👍 Yes, Monton’s got an ever growing Collection of jerseys, and its chinese. So in a way, its not Very connected to the Classic european cycling scene. And another thing: you got to brace yourself, because more producers than ever is offering white bibs this season😂 I’ll comment in that in part 2, which is out on friday

....oh god no 😵...

Just buy a pair of real dark shades👌

Thanks! I’ve been researching more than 20 different labels to make these three episodes. Glad you liked the first one. New episode is released on friday 5th👍

Sure thing: ASSOS FOREVER✌️

Takk! Ja, det kommer mer, vettu🌞

Great! Then we’ll dress up in Acqua&Sapone and similar shades, and ride casually around🎥

CiaoGRAZZIE! Ah, si… amo questi occhiali🤜💥 Il Numero uno, quest’estate❤️🇮🇹❤️

@@HOTON sarai un bell’uomo! Se riusciamo ci vediamo in bicicletta!

Ma Certo✌️

🤘🤘🤘

ThankYOU! 👉⭐️

ThankYou! I was so thrilled to meet these experts who has been with La Marzocco their entire carreers 👉⭐️

Totally CRAZY! 😂😂😂😂 👏👏👏

ThankYou! Yes, try it out, and tell me how it turned out👍

Yes🤜💥 Keep it up🤘

As in suspender fork??? Guess its some weird religion for people who believe in cycling with hairy legs to pick berries in the forest

@@HOTON NOOO!! Not that taiwanese rubbish. Suntour Japan was often better than Shimano back in the day. Buckler and Helvetia rode it on Colnago bikes and many riders subbed out their Campagnolo DT shifters for Suntours. It wasn't nicknamed the Campagnolo of the east for nothing...History man! learn your history! 😆✌️
