No one's sleeping on it, it's just that the market for a 7lb frame is a very niche sector.
Cheating on wabi and liking it ...
I have been riding bikes my whole life and a whole lot. Last week my old bike which I had over 60000 km with got stolen. I have been watching your channel a lot lately and thought, maybe it is time for my first fixed gear bike. And yeah, after two minutes I did my first skids (short ones, very short), and I felt like learning to ride my bike again. So good! I am looking forward to my fixed gear adventures!!
Loving the series, interested to see how the aluminum fares
still waiting on that fixed gear mountain bike video.
Absolutely love the choice of music!
Heck yea, I absolutely LOVE that tank feeling hence why I’m only riding steel. Can’t stand that lightweight “is this going to buckle” thought you always have with these aluminum + carbon stuff. IYKYK
I just built my first alu road bike and now I know what you mean. No more steamrolling over potholes
This is the comment I’ve been seeking, yet not a lot of people care for this. Adapting to a heavy frame will forsure give you the gains you need, with gear ratios you can help yourself more to sustain the weight increase and will honestly help for those who want to enhance their stamina and strength. Adding more -
If you have your weekend track bike the difference will feel weird yet Boltish Cadence.
I wonder why boxers train w weights🥱
Enjoy those young knees brother.
Dunno about you, but I'm sleeping on it cause it's a freakin' boat anchor.
I've had a bug end up in my mouth LAST year. 😂It FELT huge, I remember the impact, buzzing around in my mouth, spitting it out! Then wondering what must've gone through its mind!😂
Steel is real
Their nor snappy unless you move to a high end wheelset and stiff cranks. not that the weight would ever get low and still be as effective as what you rode now. But do some better wheels and I promise it will move to top 5 or even 3 in your stable.
Whata going to do with the Boat Anchor this Winter? Let it sink in the Snow? Go back something good, like a Wabi. PLEASE!!!!
To me it seems like any decent frame rides just fine and diff lies in geo, tire clearances, and details. One has to buy really crappy frame with heavy plain gauge tubing and soft fork ends to have issues with it, not enjoy riding it and wanting to replace with something better.
I envy the no hand thing while riding and talking to the camera.
Waiting on the new black label video
It all come down to weight . If a person is not racing or having to carry bike up and down stairs then weight don't matter . I enjoy bikes for what they are they are bikes
Zach titling his video as if he's been in the market for a new bike 😂😂
TH-cam keeps showing me these, and I keep watching, even though my 58 year old fat butt isn’t going to be riding fixed gear. 😁
I enjoy seeing the scenery on your ride, as well as seeing something different. That’s a nice looking bike, very clean lines.
Get a singlespeed road bike rather than a fixie, at least you can coast. I ride a Genesis Flyer singlespeed and I'm old and fat too 😀
Old, follicly challenged and was fat. Get a single speed. Trust me lost 42 pounds. I may be a little bit overweight now, but I’m healthy and I feel a lot better. Don’t overthink it just get a bike that fits you and is comfortable. No one cares how much it weighs. You’re not gonna be doing the Tour de France just ride.
It's a young man's game. Fixed/ss is swimming against the current and only young people have the vitality to do it. Don't worry about it too much
Thanks for the encouragement, you guys.
I have a 3x7 geared Giant ATX outfitted as more of a hybrid instead of a mountain bike. I lost about 30 pounds 3 years ago, but it’s hard keeping it off.
The California foothills have different requirements than the Central Valley. I could not get around here on my old 6 speed, let alone a single.
@@Roboprogs I'm young and I still need as low a gear as possible at all times.
you need some new allu frame for today's video
single track video when?
This was such a strange cut 8:40
Zach Gallardo now sponsored by legacy cycles! Check out the new 42c bombproof fixed gear frameset........ Not here yet but give it a year or so and it might just happen.
I've got a steel frame diamond shaped tube set and it's so springy and fast. The one thing that never gets spoken about with steel is the tube shape and I wish there was more information for the people.
What do you guys think about Constantine Urbane Frame set? Thanks!
I dunno, but Zach's bars are wiggedy wiggedy WACK 😂
Zach on a njs when 👀
swallowing bugs , 😂 extra protein.
What is the thing on your helmet...
He did a lovely video on it, it’s a mirror!!!
I have one of those, but I have to wear it beside my right (dominant) eye, or I get a headache. I guess that would work better in England, but I just tilt my head towards the shoulder a bit to check closer in behind me on the left.
Nice😮 !!
Tyrant bikes is a new company right?
new but started by dudes in the bikes business for decades
Tyrant was started by the original, LEADER Bikes guy (back in the day Leaders, before he got f-d over from refusing to pay for/sell a batch of "irregular" / flawed bikes from their manufacturer). He's now partnered with some new die-hard fixed gear riders and started Tyrant. This steel Legacy is an homage to the popular Leader bike design. Check out their site and also, Brotures (selling them in Japan).
SN: When I spoke to Tyrant regarding fitment/size; They promised to exchange the frame they suggested if I was unhappy (even after I build it and checked it built. Sending me a shipping label etc.) It wasn't necessary because the 52cm for my 172cm ht. is perfect. I'm in the US btw.
@@salskars6637 ohhh so like a return to og leader?
@@heated817 - Definitely, with new designers added to the mix.
Wabi watching the video like 😰
funny, but still... Wabi folk are awesome bike lovers. I purchased a lot of components from Wabi for my Legacy -including wheel set. They were very helpful. They know their frames have magical powers...
@@salskars6637 they ship fast too
The real question why are you sleeping on State Black Label V3?
Entry level alu bike, nothing to see..
Basic bitch bike that I see everywhere.
@@sir.lithium81I agree and disagree at the same time.
❤❤❤
Can you do a Cinelli mash histogram 2013 bike check and thoughts about it.
It weights the same as my Hybrid bike 💀
That handlebar looks hideous
I Love that handlebar on that frame. I have bullhorns but those bars are badass. Zach hooked that frame up.
bro no one is sleeping on the tyrant legacy its like lame af
Furry pfp opinion useless
Furry PFP disregarded go ride a surly lol
@@N0_WAY lol y’all uncultured af my pfp is from smash bros and I would gladly ride a surly over that welded trash anyday
