What would you recommend for an intermediate cyclist looking for their first roller?

Flat bars are safe👍

Stunningly beautiful bike.

Un capolavoro!

Anybody changed Shimano RC5/7 to S Torch? Sizing comparison?

Great critique... I buy quality tools once and will pass them down to my sons.

I didn't get where that "twichy" comes from if the geometry of the bicycle is still the same?

Great critique.

If I’m going to go fast…I’m going to do it in STYLE….very nice purchase I would add one of these to my Cannondale road collection….im keeping my eyes peeled for a Saeco red 52/53 cm with the Hollowgram cranks and Campagnolo…but I’m not the only one 😳

Yes finally someone that doesnt use Maxxis tires... thank God, i thought i was the only one that knows they suck.

I agree with the pros and cons in this review. One con not mentioned: the dual chuck is sticky difficult to rotate, almost to the point of being unusable. I'll have to purchase the Lezyne speed chuck for $15 and see if that works any better. A disappointment so far.

No mixture of Shimano and Campagnolo in between! No Go!

My hands get numb at 30 min...ibwas told to stand to relieve butt and hand pressure...but how to stand??

What Nitto dropbar do you use?

👌👍

Where is this filmed? I swear I can recognize that park.

most people rock the stock headset?

You shoulda got green cables

Quick question: ate you able to sttach and use as intended the chuck with the presta valve vore removed?

Step by step pédale plate d'abord puis SPD - j'ai débuté avec des chaussure normales et des pedales plates comme vous !

Personally, A if you have the flexibility which you probably wont so choose C, relaxed and aero

can you tell more about: where did you stay night before event? and how afrter finish average guys go back to hotell? or you must book two nights in fifferent hotells? or you have car who carries your bike back etc.? Thinking what need to plan if im not from France.

I'd use their components exclusively except for the cost. So expensive.

I can soooo relate! I was 15 years old when I saw the brand new F800sl in the shop - in red with the cool XS small frame. In my case, I was super lucky because my dad owned the shop. I had to "buy" it with my own money, but let's just say I got a very special offer 😅. Anyway, that bicycle has been in continuous use for more than 25 years. I did moutainbiking in my teens, and later refitted it a bit and have used it for long-distance tours ever since. Just rode it from Munich to Venice and the over to Tolmin in Slovenia. The Fatty D ist excellent. Still in perfect working order well into its third decade, with virtually no maintenance required. And I love the handling: Super agile in traffic or difficult terrain, but light and comfortable enough for long distances. I can go down a mountain at 50km/h on that bike and still take my hands off the handlebars because that thing never wobbles.

Awesome build! Exquisite attention to detail. Well done!

Are they hard to ride

You can use Campag wheels with Campag cassett on both Shimano and Sram bikes. Just so you guys know. There even was pro teams that only used Campags Super Records chains for their Shimano and Sram bikes!

Wide bars make your body a scoop for air.

i recommend trying it on a sandy or smooth surface road with using a worn out tire or minimal traction tire. also do it fast and hard pumped tirefor less friction. and try pulling from your dominant foot.

touch up paint code: "RAL 8017" does wonder on that team blue, which is not exactly the "team blue volvo"

Such a nice build! Well done.

Dura cranks are common in the keirin world, but I like Sugino 75. The Clarialance on the tires is tight and cool. The sticker on the vehicle registration is also great. I ride a SAMSON, a 1994 Meccanico Giro, and a 1974 Everest that no longer exists.

Thank you for this!! Can you please let me know more about the packing foam? How thick is it? Is there a specific type or brand you use? Thanks again!

Super entertaining video - Thanks! I love riding the cobbles as well, so I’m eager to ride this event as well one day. Which tires did you use for the event?

Where to start on the handlebars? I just did mine just like you did, the reverse way. However I started more in the middle, like to have some grip there aswell, does this cost aero?

An object of sublime beauty

Couple comments. N3W is the same spline pattern as their standard freehub, but it is shorter and allows a 10t cassette. If we're talking about road wheels, you can have either freehub. Or you can use a Shimano cassette and chain, quite frankly. True for 11s and 12s. Not true for SRAM compatibility. Aside from that, yes. The user base was always much smaller, even in the 90s or 2000s. The cassettes and chains are more expensive than Shimano. If we ignore that, they use different shift cable heads, so you can't substitute shift cables. Few mechanics these days are familiar with it. You can read the instructions and the principles behind the derailleurs are identical, but the lack of day to day experience means something. And it's at a price premium, and these days it definitely doesn't perform better than equivalent Shimano or SRAM. As such, it's objectively not possible for me to recommend that a newer rider switch to Campy.

Beau bike!

Vertex art of the artist of cycleaster... he is not also a creative art worker..salute my friend. ❤Bangladesh 🇧🇩 brother

Bianchi is a best way of bike worlds .. company

Except for my adding a Brooks saddle, this is my bike. Bought in 1995, well taken care of and I'm going to ride it this afternoon. Not sure but I think I paid $1500 from a bike shop here in Houston.

Did that guy have hairy legs ?

Just use L05A bought some this weekend.

It looks so simple, yet so elegant. The spokes when they are spinning looked georgeous

ciao per montare una cassetta da 11v ha usato il corpetto originale o lo hai sostituito? grazie

Finally someone who knows how to wrap! Top down is smart; no bullshit taper cut at the top then electrical tape to cover the mess. Yes, roll tape towards the rider on top because we tend to roll or hands in this direction when gripping the top. And no, unless we are Girmay the idea that this wrap direction will tend to unravel the bottom when we sprint is laughable; we don’t sprint that much and no we are not a TdF sprinter to begin with. This guy does it right.

What about TruTrainer rollers?

For me the most important thing to retain a staight line on the rollers is to mark a point 1-2 meters in front of my front wheel (and in the center cross line of the cylinders) focusing my eyes on it. Then the bike automatically returns in this position regardless of the cadence of the pedals

Thank you for this content. I cut my steer tube tonight, perfect. After I finished with the wet and dry sanding it was so immaculate, it's a shame it's hidden lol

Just go tubeless. It’s so much better.
