Do you also love old-fashioned vintage bikes? 🚲🕰
Yes! The perfect pub bike 😉🍻
Oh yeah, real bike-porn. 💖
Next time 2+ hours "L'Eroica" pls.
I'm a history buff for a lot of things so heck yeah
That is an absurdly broad question. A Raleigh Chopper? A Colnago Master?
I own 4
The Hotta looks great,it's aged well but vintage bikes are awesome,they have so much character.💯👌🏻🚴♂️✌🏻
I have been enthralled with "English Racers" since i was a child. Got my first one when I was about 13. Now at 68 I thought this quite the history lesson.
Job requirements for GCN presenters:
1. Must be a cycling enthusiast (riding and/or watching)
2. Must be willing to travel
3. Being able to hold a discussion while riding in Zone 5+ is considered an asset.
Kudos to Si and Ollie for being able to talk while doing those climbs.
If you’re able to hold a conversation at z5, you aren’t in z5.
We're true professionals 👌
Still riding a few lovely steel bikes with Campagnolo Nuovo and Super Record parts. Fast enough for riding with my friends, and no worries about batteries running out of charge. I do have a 42 x 24 low gear to get me up the hills in style, though! (mostly 6% or less)
The pantani bit nearly put a tear to my eye. Yes, drug enhanced, but also, a man fastest up a mountain on his own power. On a bike pre-electric and carbon. Never to be repeated, never to be matched. Legend.
What do you mean on his own power? You just said you know he was full of PEDs. Romanticising these people is so daft
And again! Love these compilations , thanks GCN
I still have my Hotta but I fitted mine w/Specialized Tri-spokes frt & rr.
Nice one! 👌 How does it hold up against modern bikes?
7:58 "Front end flexing" lol that was the entire bike
Great production, thanks for compiling it together!
Thank you so much for including my favorite in this compilation: Ollie on the Canning-special, exclaiming that after flipping the wheel his gearing feels 'positively MAGICAL!!' It's almost as lovely listening to his griping as it was watching Lasty's pain face.
Hahaha all classic GCN moments 🙌
I love vintage bikes!
We do too 🙌
Nothing is Hotta than this! ❤❤
Ayyyye! Nice one
Simon is winging about the 42/21 going uphill. I converted my Bianchi B.u.S.s single speed MTB to a 53/18 single speed road bike. I haven’t encountered a hill that I haven’t been able to climb yet and have covered over 20,000 kilometers.
ahhh reminds me of the good ol days when you had to listen to make sure your chain wasn't rubbing on the front derailleur. also reminds me of those goofy Biopace Shimanos haha.
Midnight sleepers will looooove this
Turbo lovers too 😉
Sick bike!
Still love my Cervelo SLC-SL. A bit like triggers broom, all that remains is the frame and seat post. Everything else upgraded over the years. Shimano Ultegra Di2 now with Zipp 404 and Hambini racing BB.
Bianchi Mega Pro XL + Campagnolo very nice 🔝🔝🔝🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹👏👏🏻👍
👍and FIVE GOLD STARS!
The cervelo I remember back in 2009 where I'm from there was a magazine that listed technological marvel. I remember the s3 was on it. I was only 9 at the time
If I could ride or own any bike from this list it would be the updated Hotta and Jan Ullrichs Not Giant. Both are works of art.
My last bike was a Scott Tinley Tri-Lite, talking about antique. lol
Classic not antique 😉
Dam, in early
Nicely done!
Didn't they say that it was a "Lotus 108" at the beginning, the call it a 110 later in the episode ???
LOTUS = Lots of Trouble Usually Serious
No cervelo bikes?
Why isn't someone making these today???????????????????? Looks like an easy frame to mold in Carbon..could be made in two halves perhaps?
I know I know nothing but I wish Si would wear gloves. First thing you do in an everyday off is stick your hands out. Sorry, mate but that's my view.
Perhaps I've missed an earlier vid that suggests - like when being tackled in junior rugby - you keep your hands in and roll with it....
Every bike from the last year or older than that are already retro which is a recommendation to upgrade post-haste. (Source: bicycle industry)
For you, at what point does a bike become "retro"? 🤔
My 1970's ('73, I think) black Schwinn Continental (now with some 80's Aero bars wrapped in pink bar tape, with pink tires) is a "retro" bike.....
While my 2019 (I think) Fuji Sportif LE 2.0 is a modern bike for me.
(Because I couldn't afford a more costly or better bike at the time)
Living in Chicago, you have to worry about getting "bike-jacked" (like being carjacked, but on a bike), or having it stolen from in the garage or back porch, so you have to be weary.
The streets (constant potholes, cracks, damage, and debris) also are not conducive to steady riding.
Traffic, is the same everwhere...except for Denmark.
@@gcn When you can't get reasonably priced spares to keep the bike running, concerns mass produced bikes anyway, where extended life span is expected, to some level at least. Was potentially minimum couple plus decades earlier, but the derailleur hanger mess and proprietary components or designs have broken that a lot. Can be also when the shape and proportions of a bike starts to look more than couple of design generations back, but this is easily affected by perceived obsolescence aka bikes are changed intentionally to look different, so that the older bikes start to look old, goes with about any consumer products these days, from phones to cars to whatever. Old handmade or unique race bikes etc. are products of their time and the design biases easily render them 'retro' in an expert eye, when others may just see a bike that they may have never seen before and perceive it even the most modern.
The hotta isnt an antique, its vintage. 30yrs=vintage 50yrs=antique
Though to the race inclined 30yrs doues feel antique.
Si is soooo hot. Black color cannot hide it :) just saying
I'm sure this is a re-release, I've watched it before?
Bingo! We've lumped loads of our videos together so you can have the perfect background to your day 🙌
🤔Why is it that people make mean an unnecessary comments? Someone who may not be as "electronically experienced" is simply sharing what he believes may be interesting or useful to someone. Constructive comments are welcome, but pompous, arrogant and useless comments should be kept to one's self. They only serve to make others shy away from posting for fear of ridicule!!
Barcelona=Barceloner
You guys really need to find another word other than “However”
I'm sure this is a re-release. GCN is on the demise.
Don’t you see it’s a compilation of pre-released videos? It even says so in the title.
Summertime! Folks are on vacation.
This is just extra content 🙌 We'll still be making the same amount of new content a week but we like to pepper in some spice for you all 🔥
@@gcn yes and keep doing this. Recently you posted a compilation of adventure/challenge videos that I rewatched in its entirety even though I had seen the original videos.
👎 on comment; 👍 on compilation
