Do you also love old-fashioned vintage bikes? 🚲🕰
-
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)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I still have my Hotta but I fitted mine w/Specialized Tri-spokes frt & rr.
-
And again! Love these compilations , thanks GCN
-
I love vintage bikes!
-
Nothing is Hotta than this! ❤❤
-
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.
-
Midnight sleepers will looooove this
-
👍and FIVE GOLD STARS!
-
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.
-
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.
-
LOTUS = Lots of Trouble Usually Serious
-
My last bike was a Scott Tinley Tri-Lite, talking about antique. lol
-
Every bike from the last year or older than that are already retro which is a recommendation to upgrade post-haste. (Source: bicycle industry)
-
Didn't they say that it was a "Lotus 108" at the beginning, the call it a 110 later in the episode ???
-
No cervelo bikes?
