Would you buy an ex pro team bike?
When I see how they get thrown around... no.
Probably not, I don't have even 3,5k for a bike :D I am not a pro, I don't need that much of a bike anyway.
I would consider a TT bike. Just because of the low milage it gets VS a training or race road bike
I don't think so. They are well taken care of by mechanics, but they've probably been crashed a few times - and you can't see all cracks with the naked eye.
Green is a unlucky colour for bikes
To be fair, there's a fairly limited market for one of Conner's old bikes.
I dunno... You could probably use it to frame a house or something. Or maybe use it as superstructure for a bridge!
Stilt walkers might want to add a bike to their act...
These two guys have such great chemistry together. More of these two together!
25:39 Ollie got a reminder on his earpiece from the bike sponsors?
Yep I've got one. Ex rabobank Giant. Had no problems at all. Excellent value.
Yes! I’m happy owner of a deRosa Protos used by the nippo fantini team in 2018
Paid 3500k with super record eps and bora ultras
It has got a few scratces but it rides like a dream
@Elle Bonello Azzoppardi Ibbotson ProOwnedCycling.com has loads of ex Pro bikes including derosa bikes 👌
Just hope the Wahoo watch doesn't sync during a swim...
Took me 2 reads. Very good !
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ayyyyyy
😂🤣😂🤣
I sea what you did there
Ollie's laugh sounds like a very angry free hub
I bought Team Sky’s 2016 seasons Pinarello Dogma F8 for a great price. I loved the ”low price” and the fact it has been serviced by pro mechanics and ridden by a pro.👌
any advice how to buy?
@@muhammadfazri7376 ProOwnedCycling is great place to buy from
@@LauriKutila thank you : )
Depend have to have background of the bike. Some riders takes more care of the bikes than others and a ex Paris Roubaix bike is not the same thing as a mountain stages bikes. As a ex Graipel bikes is not the same thing as one used by Alaphilippe...
Yea the one used by allaphillipe doesn't get used for the entire race.
I actually bought a frame that was used by a pro team. Carbon and purchased 10 years ago...no problems whatsoever. Purchased the frame for 1/3 of original price.
The bikes are already sold out, 57 mins after the video has been uploaded 😂
Probably scalpers buying them, then putting up for sale for couple thousand more claiming only a couple hundred miles ridden 🤔
My brother bought Wout Van Aert's cycles cross bike 2 years ago. Awesome!! These bikes were sold in Belgium by the local mechanics who maintained the bikes.
That Trek TT frame restoration was awesome. Inspirational.
That last bike with the vision wheels had ollie speaking like boris Johnson for a second 🤣
I have owned one and it was great. Rode it for about two years and really enjoyed it. It was a Trek Project One Madone. It was a training bike but perfectly maintained. Sold it because the Madone did not fit me as well in my riding style as the Domone. Still a great bike
Absolutely yes - apart from the slammed position. My hi-mod carbon bike has 25,000 miles + on it / several continents / used and not overly loved. Currently being repainted but when taking it apart it was still mint. Nothing wrong with the frame anywhere. One season with a pro is like just being run in....!!!
Ollie: The valves is something I often do let slide..
Connor: Really!!?
The moment the rules changed.
I had 2 bikes after team Astana - bmc and sworks tarmac sl4. It was great deals
Really happy with my Hincapie Felt F1 I’ve had for four years. Zero issues.
I bought a Lotto Soudal Ridley Helium SLX via 2Pedals in Milton Keynes.
Has Stan DeWulfs name on it, Campag eps 11, super record everything.
I took it on Zonda clincher wheels as I didn’t want Ultra bora tubulars.
They Put a shorter stem on it and new chian rings, battery/charger etc & changed brake levers to British set up.
love it!
£3500 delivered to my door.
I upgraded wheels to Bora ultra wto 45 tubeless & replaced the rather hard saddle.
Have done done 3800 miles on it since April with no issues.
Re: Rapha Gore-Tex Jacket " Wow that's got all the words in it " - Dr. Oliver Bridgewood
So we now know Connor likes water sports... 😂
Well done for keeping straight faced!
We need that as a feature, Ollie's Favorite All-Time Bikes of All Time.
40 years ago, my everyday bike started its life as somebody's velodrome bike. I got it when it was about 18 years old, modernized the wheels, gears and pretty much everything else and it's still doing a great job. The steel frame is a bit heavy, but it's also very sturdy, so it's survived more than a few bumps that would have killed an aluminium bike.
Got a ex lotto soudal helium love it , got my own wheels on it but still comes in at less than 7 kg
The Trek bike that got repainted red was awesome!
I trained and raced in the early 90's with two juniors that were on the old Chevrolet LA Sheriffs develpment team. One at Steve Hegg's old Litespeed Ulitimate and the other had Malcolm Elliott's Litespeed Ultimate. The bike came with Sunspeed groupos which were a copy of Camagnolo Ergo shifters. Still my favorite bike of my life time
Bought Malcolm Elliott's Opera 2010 super record (his last team before retiring) - £10,000 new for just £3750....few small chips on frame and scuffs on levers and rear mech and c/set and Corima rims that's all, other than that fabulous (and you get the special colour orange instead of red of the one off team bike)!
O absolutely I would buy a used pro bike, especially from a favorite team or rider. And used can be the difference between having a high-performance bike and not. And sometimes, you just have to make it happen. And I am forever thankful that I did that in '78 when I was a young radio announcer in Canton, Ohio--WINW and WOOS. I would be gone at the end of the year--that was radio, that was the game--but there was a great riding area called the Pits, an old mining site, in the corner of town and I rode there a lot on two race-campaigned 125cc Honda Elsinores which I had purchased at great prices from a gent who had souped them up for his sons who were local motocross hotshots. And those used yet high-performance dirt bikes were all the difference for me. Without that deal, I likely would not have made the plunge as no way could I have afforded new back then--and certainly not new with better after-market parts like FMF pipes and DG swingarms.
My 2021 Pinarello Prince through axles have a similar retractable lever to loosen and tighten the axles. It is quite swift and works very well.
In 2020 I bought a 2019 Bianchi oltre XR4 from jumbo visma for 4.000 euro's. According to the team a tour de france spare bike that had not been used at all. I've been riding the bike for a few years and still super happy with it
Having a set of winter tires for my car I can say rubber compound in cold weather makes a big difference
*Yeezzz* (Jezza's voice)
Love the saddle
Already have, a canyon aeroad, it’s great
I did - was a fab deal, got me into a Wilier there was no way i could have afforded any other way and I still love it!
Oooh fantastic presenters line up 😀 what day is it..... thought this drops on a Thursday 🤔😀
The look on olies face when conner says" he's in to water sport's " yoa could see exactly what he was thinking 😂😂
Guy bought a Garmin Sharp Felt in 2010 and I got to assemble it for him! It came with a bunch of Camelbak water bottles that he gave me two of! Oh and Custom Garmin 500 argyle print.
I am pretty sure they would be better than most other second hand bikes. So, yes defo.
Bought an unused KTM from a conti pro team some years ago, they were been sold directly by the UK arm of KTM via ebay. Got one incl a new Dura Ace front mech and the warranty for £430, still runs like a dream and won't be buying anything else unless it breaks.
I scored an EF Pro SuperSix Hi-Mod bike earlier today! WINNING!!!!!!!!!!
I've got an old Biachi 928 SL HC. It's an incredible bike and the power transfer is nothing like I've ever ridden before. I paid £900 for full Dura Ace 9700 with C35 tubs. Enve smart system cockpit. An absolute steal and it fricken flies.
The pink and purple jacket. I love it.
Depends on what you call a “bargain”, bike prices are absolutely ridiculous at the moment.
We got our hands on few ex-Barloworld bikes the one time (Barloworld became eventually NTT - soon to be Assos/Qubehka)
They had been put through the wringer. The phrase "hammered as a moose" comes to mind. I wouldn't do that again.
Picked up a 2016 Diamondback Podium equipe which was a spare bike for Rally Cycling. Got a super deal and having an ex pro bike gives you the confidence to worry about your fitness only
Connors hair when he was racing was f***ing awesome, and Bianchi did that thru axle first I think
Ha thanks Zach!!!! What happens when you don't go to the hairdresser for a few years...
It's not just race teams that sale bikes. When I was at a major parts and wheel maker the bikes that had been built up for trade shows, videos, demos and photo shoots would be sold every year to two. The brand of bike varied. Cervelo, Bianchi, GT, Giant, Sage, Orbea and others. Sometimes they were one off special colors. Sometimes they would be broken down and sold as frames only so parts could be further tested or donated to youth teams. Employees get first pick. Most years any left overs were sold at a local bike swap meet. The sales, marketing and warranty staff would sometimes offer the bikes for sale to bike shops they worked with for store employees or shop floor sales. The bikes can sale for $1,000 to $3,000 off list depending what it is. You just have to be at the right place or email at the right time to get the deal.
Oh...Olie...it is true that the Vision stock wheels come with dark grey stickers. Sometimes the warranty, marketing or sales staff will have white, blue, red, green or other stickers they give to team riders, bike shop employees or TV/TH-cam host to make the bike special. I sent Moss Paul those one off set of stickers for his wheels when I worked at FSA for his special build in relation to a separate project we worked on.
Great show
I bought a UHC women’s team bike. Ran across it at the end of the team’s season and bid on it. Phenomenal value for that particular Orbea Orca that fit me perfectly! Never had a thing wrong with it. A bit later I upgraded the hoops n then a bit later the bars. What more could I ask for!!
Hi Ollie and Connor,
Thank you for including my Cervelo R5CA in the bike vault. Based on you’re initial comments, I thought for sure a super nice was coming. Although disappointed, I enjoyed your show and the comments.
If Connor rode the Cervelo on that 555k ride, he would have finished!
Ride in good health Gents.
Lol those wheels with the hidden key to take out the through axel will help sure help the wheels getting stolen !!
I bought an Ex-Pro Campa-SRM (five arm) power meter for ~700€ recently. Back then they were sold for 3400€...
Loving the hard work the guys put into avoiding the word 'Triathlon' when looking at the watch!
For sure I'll get one
It is an authentic Pro bike - even if it was only a helper's bike and not one of a top rider. I think there are many people out there who are willing to pay for such a bike even if it got heavy use. Doing a relaxed Sunday afternoon ride on a bike that made it through the hell of Paris Roubaix is something very special.
Yes, I would buy one but unfortunately these frames are all much too small for me. I have an inseam length of 94cm.
I bought Primoz Roglics R5 from 2021 season €8100 was for sale on Catawiki 👍
Well Señor Conor.
You like watersports.
Come here to San Roque & Tarifa Spain.
Great cycling, great watersports & 2 hours drive to Granada for snowboarding 🏂
I bought an ex movistar canyon Aeroad. Lovely bike, but when Canyon say they ‘thoroughly’ check the bikes before sending them out, hmm not my experience. It arrived filthy, chunk of paint came off as it hadn’t been packed propely(they said go and get some paint from a model shop) and when I came to ride it, it slipped under load. Turned out I needed a nee chain and cassette, as I was Super Record that was a total of £500!! So I wasn’t happy, Although now my bike is sorted it’s a beauty!! So be cautious
Hell yeah, if anyone knows how I can get my hands on one of the team EF cannondale Palace bikes I pay with my limbs
I used to know a group of fellas with a heap of ex pro tour bikes seen ...dating back to team saeco cannondale... HTC bikes... Trek segufredo ... team jellibelly.. Australia national team bikes .. Tiffany Cromwell .. Pat Jonker .. national track squad.. heaps of others.. helps to have tour down under every year a lot of them used to volunteer with the teams as helpers.. tour guides.. help the mechanics etc
After Ollie said he would remove the wheel reflectors in the GCN Tech Show. I noticed he didn't say anything about the wheel reflectors on the the Cannondale Synapse .
#askgcntech Hi guys love the show. Does leg discrepancy matter. The past few weeks I’ve started riding with a dual sided power meter and have been watching my left/right balances majority of the time I average 52/48. Should I work on this or ls close enough good enough. Thanks
Good show!
I've bought three of them over the years.
Mine came with ultegra and cheap wheels.
Still have all three to this day, but only ride one.
That equilibrium is stock! I have one! Stock....super nice?
I have, i wouldn't if you want a best bike but for a race bike for smashing around a track, throwing in the back of the car and the occasional crash you can't go wrong.
Alas, I think I can only fit a Domenico Pozzovivo bike, but even if I managed to buy one I wouldn't be riding it. I'd be hanging it up on my wall because he has been an inspiration to me. I think he's the greatest small pro rider since Petit Charly Mottet.
In relation to Pirelli.I was under the impression that rubber is from a renewable resource, the latex that is harvested from ficus elastica.As for tread patterns on road bike tyres,I prefer no pattern at all reducing the contact patch area between the tyre and the road .
I recently picked up a CX bike that was detailed on the GCN Tech show earlier this year. Heck of a deal on some top end gear. #konasuperjake
I'm on the hunt for an ex team Ttek Madone now
Yeah, if I’m looking for a new second handed bike. Pretty sure it won’t make me any faster though.
two weeks ago I bought a BMC Pro Machine with full Campagnolo Record from a fromer Astana Team member - for 550 Euros!! This was the bargain of my life.
I own a number of ex-pro bikes; 5 of them I think. Other than the ‘brag factor’ of saying that it’s an team bike (and possibly a team color scheme), there’s nothing different than a regular bike that’s been ridden really hard.
I am planning to buy a new bike in the next months (not a ex pro bike though) and I was wondering if it would make more sense to buy a Tarmac SL6 instead of a Allez Elite 2021. The Tarmac is a bit more expensive and has a carbon frame. The Allez on the other hand has 105 instead of "only" Tiagra. I am not a racer but usually do longer rides (up to 150km). Any help/input is appreciated :)
I bought an ex-team bike, not a pro team but I still got a 80% discount. Well worth it.
Yes I have. I have an ex Team Sky Pinarello Bolide.
I have riden on Harry Tanfield bike when he rode katusha Alpecin
Why pay that much for second hand bikes, when you can buy the frames direct from the Chinese manufacturer for a fraction of the price and get it sprayed up in what ever colour you like, then what ever group set
30:50/51 - Connor shows Ollie how to look cool raising an eyebrow as opposed to just pissed :)
I can’t open the rear true Axel on my brand new canyon aeroad CF SL 7. any ideas why ? #askgcn
Where can I get arms like that? Does it make it easy to scratch your knees?
the sea bike = harry potter universe broomstick for the water. imagine games of quidditch played in olympic pools with these, and ai driven rc balls.. lol
this Rapha jacket is incredible.... and also incredibly expensive
How did you break the frame?
My friend is fairly convinced that he got a Festina team bike (the year before they had their truck broken into and a bunch of bikes stolen) off of ebay a long time ago. So be careful if you're looking in the secondary market.
So these aren't so much Used pro bikes, as _"Certified Pre-Owned"_ - well then...
Hey I wonder what ever happened to actor Matt Smith, he is the Tech Doctor Who👍
I have, a 1986 Team 7-11 bike.
Murray/ Campagnolo sponsored, Serotta built. I don’t ride it due to its historical value.
Cycling bottle 1, Si-cling cap 0 😜✌🏼. It might take aero bikes to beat the Si-borg on his Triathlon bike. Does it mean he’s part of GTN now? 😜✌🏼
where would we be able to buy them?
Which professional teams did you guys ride in.
#askgcn How much wear can you have in the brake track of carbon clincher rims before they're ready for replacement?[per side] 0.5mm(.020")? 1mm(.040")? Thank you.
Obviously I would want one they the best bikes in the world and used by the best riders in the world
#askGCNTech what do they do with the used team kit after a season do they sell them
What’s the beat road bike under $3000?
Dont think I would tbh if i did it would may be for display purposes as i dont think i would get a fit to what I'm comfortable with i.e. stem tube length and or maybe frame size too. After learning from building my two road bikes once you dial in the right measurements and that bike is sweet jump on anythinc else and you will know it ( back/leg/neck/ elbow ) pains lol and then you gonna have to modify it to worn for you!!
