If the world was ending tomorrow, which of these custom apocalypse survival bikes are you choosing to make your escape? ๐๐งโโ๏ธ
Thanks for delivering, we'll presented ๐
Your laptop is "designed" in the USA but made in china
Must try to get to this show next year. Some lovely bikes. Not sure I'd want a Condor that looked like it was painted by a six-year-old though.
Not a fan of the Condor paint scheme, looks a bit of a mess
Very well prepared video. Lots of details from Ollie. ๐๐ป Too much apocalypse.
Ollie sees a shaft drive, instantly turns into a scouser
Wellโฆthat was a dark ending. ๐
This is great and all, but I just spent three days at Sea Otter and no GCN presence there? Didnโt see anyone.
Apparently 3d printed titanium can't be anodized?
The adonise paintjob on the frame surprise you so hard that you don't talk about inverted fork.
That Pashley bike is stunning!
15:33, Ollie doesn't know what a mullet bike is. Maybe he's thinking of lo-pro bikes from the 70s when the fronts were smaller than the rears.
SOUTHERN OREGON USA HERE… LAND SHARK BIKES…!!FOR EXCELLENT PAINT JOBS.. MOST ANYTHING YOU WANT!.. JOHN SLAWTA IS THE ARTIST, BIKE BUILDER. CHECK OUT HIS SITE.
Why does it have an American flag that looks like itโs says Made in America? Asking for a friend.
I love the Quirk and Pashley bikes. I think you chose the right apocalypse bike
Agree 100% on that Pashley seatpost/seattube. It's gorgeous
The Condor paint job looks more like someone was going at a high velocity when he took a sh…..
OMG, Conor will have to get one of those Tailfin-Albion bags, especially the top bar bag w/all the little pockets for his gubbins!
"Should we have more silver groupsets"
100% – I don't know why everything is black now. Nothing looks better than a silver groupset.
In fact, if Campag wanted to – they could revive the Nuovo line in all-silver mid-range components and absolutely clean up
I think Sram should do a limited version of their top-group with a homage to the XO group with 5 colours. Redwin, gold nugget, mango, cash green ,pink slip .
Ollie, you seem to think "not made in the USA" is quite cute. You do realize that you would be speaking German right now, if it wasn't for "made in the USA".
Front and back wheels of different sizes flopped in the 80s and will flop again. ๐
11:50 What is that nub for? pump peg?
Not Mad in…๐๐๐ I'd love to see an international build off. Wood b pretty fun/ interesting?
Weird calling the 29er the smaller wheel ๐ค๐
Im a shorter bloke so quite biased but 32" wheels dont have many uses other than making correctly fitting bikes for Conor and the like โค
32 is the garbage
3D printed bike parts were not โpioneeredโ by Sturdy. Gawd so much wrongness here. Your laptop was made in the US? Orly? Mate how are you even employed in the bike industry when you donโt know anything??
Nice to see some homegrown independent frame builders but I think they all need to go take welding classes at Pashley !!
Just donโt get those big,ugly welds on the Sturdy,Quirk etcโฆ
They go to all the trouble of tube material,fancy anodised finish etc then hand the welding over to a monkey !!
Pashley showing the upstarts what proper high end welding/finishing should look likeโฆ.absolutely gorgeous ๐๐
Great coverage of the show. Nice to see something a bit different.
Some beautiful bikes, indeed.
That is a ugly bike
"nicest finish" – really?
Excellent review of the show and in a completely unbiased way the Apocalypse bike entries๐๐๐ป
Is the 3d printing of titanium and welding to adjacent tubing like this is more of an aesthetic, or does it solve problems measurably, distinctly? (i.e., greater strength and ride tuning with expanded design capabilities). I would sincerely like to know regardless.
