How do I know this is AI dubbing (not as bad as trying to imitate an Italian speaker, but keep in mind that the younger generation is dramatically improving their English)… the pronunciation of "Wilier Triestina" has the wrong accent on the last word,
and watching to the end, many other mispronunciations happened… Wilier, Bataglin, Basso… it would be fairer to let the AI speak plain English than fake Italian
I LOVE EVERYTHING ITALIAN, AND HAVE TWO CUSTOM ROAD BIKES,!
THE FIRST IS A CUSTOM ORANGE BIANCHI SPECIALISSIMA (RIM BRAKE) WITH 12-SPEED
CAMPAGNOLO SUPER RECORD EPS, WTO WHEELS, ETC!
THE SECOND IS A COLNAGO C64 (DISC) WITH 12-SPEED CAMPAGNOLO SUPER RECORD
EPS, WTO WHEELS, ETC!
AND LASTLY, A LIKE NEW BIANCHI PANTANI REPLICA WITH THE THE PIRATA SADDLE & CAMPAGNOLO RECORD GRUPPO!
THE BEST BIT IS I ALSO HAVE ALL THE 1998 KIT TO GO WITH IT!
YES, EVERYTHING FROM THE NEW VITTORIA SHOES, ULTRA RARE MITTS & SOCKS,BRIKO
ZEN SUNGLASSES, AND EVEN A PRESENTATION JERSEY!!!
I ALSO HAVE MOST OF HIS 1993-1996 CARRERA KITS, AND 1997 MERCATONE UNO KIT!
IT TOOK ME ABOUT 6 YEAR'S TO SOURCE IT!
THE OTHER DAY, I SOURCED SOME 1998 BIB-TIGHTS FROM UKRAINE!
And passoni and officine mattio !!
Ma perche' in inglese, oltretutto con una pronuncia agghiacciante? Sei italiano, fai i video nella tua lingua con i sottotitoli in inglese caso mai
Somec ? Ciocc ?
History on Grandis.
Too bad Colnago sold out to the Arabs !
SIMONCINI built Bikes for Rudi Altig in the 1960s. And later on for some german Brands.
horrible fake Italian accent! What is it, bad AI?
Bad AI and incomplete, outdated information 👎🏻
GIOS ?
I enjoy my 30. year old Bianchi Celeste Campagnolo, every time we ride. Greetings from Denmark.
Is that guy riding with a cigarette in his hand at 4:58? 😄
Olmo?
They used to have character … nowadays they‘re all the same (mostly produced in two factories in China/ Taiwan). And want to get paid for their history.
Similar with car brands: they used to have their special DNA … today they are all more or less the same. No more real innovation just like in the bike industry: (only different colors, a more or less lowered chain stay (officially to increase „comfort“ – which is false – actually to change the look a bit, ….spiced up with goofy ideas of 32“ wheel sizes from time to time to „gain new customers“).
Sad… really sad. But what other should they do when the objectively perfect frame style (diamond shape) existed already almost a hundred years ago…? No more room for improvements there.

I love my C60 and C64
I still have, and ride, my Luciano Paletti, bought in 1976. I still have my Gios Torino track bike, (actually a Masi repainted), bought from Giordano Turrini, the bike he finished second in the world sprint title.
