What was your favourite bike or piece of tech from the show? 🚲👇
No seat tube? The Kestral 500 did that 40 years ago!
That gold bike was sick. And that steel bike too.
And on this episode of stuff I can’t afford, and will never buy…
Favorite thing I saw was the lite weight GIANT TCR🔥
O how I enjoy Ollie singing this song about new bikes and aero and new parts. 😀
Orbea is amazing ❤
More on that Ingrid groupset please!
everyone: sleek, streamlined, sculpted components
Ingrid: B R I C K
Like this kind of content, seeing bike brands we're unaware of.
"Selle Italia" does not have the letter "R" in it xD
Benotto is like the Mexican equivalent of Raleigh. It's an Italian name but a Mexican company, and I'd say 80% of bikes you see around where I live in Mexico City are cheap Benottos. For a moment I thought that they'd started doing high-end race bikes. One letter difference…
Ingrid is a very common derailleur for bike packing setups in Europe, Ollie!
This was cool, I’m liking those new SIDi shoes, finally they’ve come round with something fresh. I shoes are personal items but it would be nice if GCN did a shoes shot out! How’s that for a concept. You Welcome, now send me water bottle and nobody gets hurt! 😃
Barco wonderful
That bike without a seat tube looks fantastic! I want to ride one.
GCN 6 minutes gives you everything.
China Cycling 3 hours and still wanting more. German bike shows are so efficient. 😉
The Scott looked nice but that was about it for me. And surely everyone just takes the cranks off to make balance bikes? Just like removing the seatpost and cable tying the seat to the frame to lower it for the little ones. Balance bikes are such a pointless rip off.
The Baldiso one has been available on Rouvy for around 18 months
Some of these new road bikes must be a pain in the head too work on , interesting to know 🚲
Glad to see Cicli Barco get some press. I commissioned a frame from them a few years ago and the welding is absolute art.
Ingrid brick made me feel things I have never felt before
annoying background music.. thumbs down .. only a matter time before i unsubscribe
Is anyone else as bored of carbon fiber bikes as I am.🥱
Who? Who the hell wants a white saddle and white bar tape? That's crazy. What's next, white shoes?? I've done that before, what fresh hell that was trying to keep them clean.
uhh that factor bughatti is the worst thing ever
So everything a highly sponsored pro or a multi-millionaire could wish for and afford, ey…? 🤑
Wow, that was incredible!
Wow, that was incredible!
Merida reacto has di2 battery in the down tube but sram red levers?
The 80% plastic waste event.
Regarding the Dangerholm, would anyone be kind enough to tell me what those bottle cages are ? Cheers !
It’s like the venge vias mocked for that ugly stem was a decade ahead of its time on riser bars.
Its Düsseldorf with an Ü!
I like that Bugatti bike but I really dislike the blue in the wheels. Just going to wait for a better color wheel😅
Handlebars are now a cockpit?
Get real.
Who are these bikes for? Pro's don't need to buy their own bikes. These bikes are for recreational cyclists? 25,000.00 spending cyclists? Ha Ha, He He, ho, ho, ho. I ride super strong bicycles since I am a full time cyclist who doesn't own A car, much stronger than any of these 25,000.00 bikes; my bikes cost me $350.00 brand new, then I add strong wheels/tires, spd, rear rack/trunk, water bottle cages, bar ends, aero-bars for the strongest bike in the world for $1000. I have a flat about every 50,000 miles, can go off onto a rough shoulder to avoid a car hitting me and the tires are just fine, undamaged, the bike weighs 35 pounds and it doesn't slow me down or increase my time on the road by more than 3 minutes per hour over a road racing bike. I am 68 years old, still don't need a 5kilogram bike to go over 100 kilometers in the mountains.
Bombtrack winning 2026 award for a 6 year old cargo bike based on an 80+ year old butcher bike, OK…
If only i had money
Thanks for the update guys.😁👍🏼
I am probably old school, but I still don't think white parts or shoes is a good color choice for cycling. Especially if you belong to people who cycle in rain sometimes. This sport has certainly become trendy. The good news is that they also offer different colors for folks like me.
What is with all the slammed stems/handlebars? Very few people are flexible enough to ride like that and besides it's not even aerodynamic. This is what is wrong with bicycling. Overpriced, overengineered, proprietary garbage.
