[@eddisonli]

Firefly!

[@tihohohoho]

Check out the new Steelworks from ThyssenKrupp.

[@nicolasserranolacouture5764]

Scarab Cycles by far!

[@Cgsailing]

Global Cycling Network nakedbicycles.com simply the best steel and ti bikes. Ridden at cyclocross worlds. Featured on the shimano grx global launch video. All made by a one man show on a tiny island. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.

[@Funkstarfish]

I own a festka and its the finest bike i have ridden.

[@Pratalax]

Oh boy.... that was all a bit too much for my heart to take, falling in love more than 6 times in 7 minutes

[@gcn]

We'll include a warning next time 😉

[@hondasaurusrex6998]

Great video. Now how about some thing classy and brandy on a budget? Most of us are just peasants with minuscule every day jobs.

[@RockyRetherford-cj3rd]

I bought it for me birthday, July 10th and have not stopped riding it! I get lots of compliments!!!

[@sorenmeyer7347]

Glad Squid made it into the list. And No22's Track Bike looks great 👍🏻

[@jhan2083]

FESTKA Scalatore with unpainted matt carbon finish is the one I like the most.

[@JeffBarkema]

Gotta give Mosaic Cycles from Boulder Colorado a shout for the next in this series.

[@ewanshard338]

I have the privilege of owning one of their bikes and I was sad they didnt get a mention.

[@roye2479]

Marinoni cycles! Hand made in Canada since 1974 by Giuseppe Marinoni, the current holder of the 1 hour record for 80 year olds. and they're affordable

[@sebastianfm7337]

Kocmo bikes - titanium from Russia, fitting in Berlin, Germany. Cool bikes (just ordered one myself).

[@Pace100rc]

No. 22 is favourite. Bit disappointed that you credited one of your “partners” with the drop chainstay, should be mentioning Open first IMO.

[@colinthompson5881]

Scared and Allied for me, both stunning but blown away by those Scarabs.

[@BenSietze]

Blimey, those Scarab bikes look awesome…. These videos are actually pretty counter-productive as it doesn’t make choosing any easier…

[@martinsranders7601]

we did quite enjoy that. thank you

[@wiadroman]

How about "6 incredible boutique bike brands you can afford without selling your organs on black market"?

[@astrayagrarian]

Please do another video like this, but please cover the Speedvagen brand

[@petinka721]

Ollies voice is perfect for that type of videos. What a great presenter he is!

[@jonpoon3896]

Ooh. That traditional looking scarab looks tasty

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

Budnitz bikes are stunning!

[@jerrygundecker743]

Excellent video. I learn something with each new episode. Thanks.

[@peterthepayne]

Check out Saffron Frameworks! They make absolutely stunning bespoke steel famed bikes. They even made a frame with a steamed wood top tube that splits in two and bends down to form the form the seat stays.

[@chaowang2019]

Bought a Festka Scalatore. Light, stiff and comfortable!

[@mick2456393]

It even says on the bike "It's Colombia not Columbia"

[@jordangraff2254]

Here in Vancouver BC we really like local East Van brand Landyachtz.... They got started with longboards and ventured towards cycling a number of years back... They hand build their frames with steel and/or titanium... Can't ride anywhere without seeing a handful of their beautiful albeit simple bikes.

[@walshman70]

Great vid! Love all these bikes, but have to say that Prova is really special. Chris DeKerf. Landyachtz. Argonaut. Speedvagen!

[@juliorodriguez1721]

Can we have an episode about affordable bikes like under 1500 please i beg of you

[@somedude2734]

GCN should do “pimp my bike” episodes, that would be fun

[@uprightape100]

No Rock Lobster? From Santa Cruz? Outraged I am.

[@lifeguardkliff]

Ive lived in sc my whole life gonna have to check em out

[@Asher_Sorensen]

These are very good bike

[@doczilla1984]

andrew low from Low bicycles San Francisco.

[@wasupwitdat1mofiki94]

Nice job. I like looking at beautiful bikes.

[@mannyf1441]

Speedvagen, Portland, OR

[@mahiru20ten]

Best bikes under 750 bucks (or 500) when? Otherwise, these bikes look damn great.

[@lifeguardkliff]

I recently bought a giant contend 3 for my first road bike and now i cant wait to throw all my cash at something way outta my league

[@jasperfk]

Ypuh ridiculous. There are some incredible bargains on Facebook marketplace and eBay. It’s complete nonsense that you need to be rich to cycle. It’s all about what you can afford, and you can’t expect a beginner to spend more than $750 on a bike. New tech is expensive, sure, but that doesn’t equal riding enjoyment. Go back 3 generations of bike and Shimano Tigard and 105 will be absolutely perfect for a learner to ride on and tinker with. Not everybody has to ride Dura Ace Di2!

[@krlgrudzinski]

@@dsdf_fdp1858 You can't buy a "starter" bike with 105 for 500 bucks since whole 105 groupset costs about 400.

[@honzohaberle6640]

@@krlgrudzinski Of course you can. You just need to buy a used bike. My first road bike cost less than 500 bucks and came with complete Dura Ace and a carbon frame and it is still fun to ride. If you settle for 105, you can probably get something in the same price range that is a decade newer.

[@krlgrudzinski]

@@honzohaberle6640 Of course I can buy used at a good price, I thought that @Ypuh is talking about a new bike.

[@rolandovera5935]

Appleman bikes in Minnesota. Visited his workshop recently... impressive things happening there.

[@kingofpapaya]

No22 bikes are so clean. And I love the Squid Squad 🦑

[@pommieponderings5882]

Wyndymilla bikes - fully custom carbon fibre (and aluminium and steel) bikes. Frames hand made in Venice, and then custom painted and built in the Surrey Hills! Check them out, gorgeous bikes and fun people.

[@jev2867]

I'm a weekend rider so steel and vintage is where it is at, preferably Reynolds 853 of which I'm always in the hunt. I would only pay a pretty penny for a brand new Titanium as the used market is pretty thin and still expensive.

[@endcensorship874]

Rodeo-Labs.com is not exactly hand built, but they make some sweet looking bikes.

[@gcn]

Their bikes and culture is what cycling is all about

[@glennoc8585]

The raised chainstay was used on Haro MTBs back in the early 90s. Titanium is not really light tho but it does last as long time if the welds are good.

[@tuudsavuudsa8508]

More pls :-) awesome looking bikes

[@woody9382000]

Llewellyn Custom Bicycles, pretty flashy steel frames.

[@conor_on_the_go]

Yes, I'll take one of each please.

[@weiwenng8096]

#22 itself may be a new company, but I’m pretty sure a lot of their people came from Serotta Cycles when it went bankrupt. Serotta had a lot of titanium experience. So, #22 has a lot of institutional knowledge.

[@rato_gordo]

More vids like these please.

[@Mottleydude1]

My recommendation, if you haven’t already done so, is Waterford Bikes. They were originally the Schwinn Paramount Design Group before the Schwinn family sold their interest in the company and Schwinn PDG went independent and became Waterford Bikes. I own a Schwinn Paramount I bought a couple of years before the sale and It’s an outstanding bike and Waterford top level craftsmanship and ability to customize their frames to your body type and style of riding makes for some incredible bikes. If you have the coin they can make you a rolling work of art and if you just need a practical frame that has an excellent fit, fast, with excellent handling and ride quality they can do that too.

[@susanrose3815]

Best thing ever invented

[@brucelangsteiner4599]

Beautiful machines!

[@owenvermeulen1231]

Landyachtz Bikes in Vancouver Canada. Custom Ti & Steel. Check em out!

[@jordangraff2254]

And you can grab a sweet longboard too 😂

[@joemaki2187]

One brand you should cover is Firefly, based in Boston in the US.

[@mellissanash7517]

Next round you should check out Crust brand(US/Australia), Framed(US Minnesota), BearClaw(US and offers a plus size, re 27.5x3.0 road bike), and All-City(Minnesota) bikes.

[@matthewlewis2072]

All-City aren't boutique, they're well known, I've seen a few in the UK

[@mellissanash7517]

@@matthewlewis2072 Most normies don't know about them and I haven't seen GCN or GMBN review their bikes, like the Gorilla Monsoon or Electric Queen.

[@matthewlewis2072]

@@mellissanash7517 "Normies"?!?! LOL couple of C+ tests, etc. Bang mainstream 🤣

[@mellissanash7517]

@@matthewlewis2072 GCN and GMBN have more reach/viewers than many of the other reviewers. Just look at how many views the Electric Queen or Gorilla Monsoon has.

[@simongeeves9662]

Samson, M-Idea, Cherubim, Zunow, Kalavinka, Baramon, Nakagawa, Nagasawa, Makino, Level, Iribe, Giro Meccanico. Representing Japan steel art.

[@bmlkohs]

Another good company out of Colombia is Tinno Cycles. They even do full custom builds.

[@tapieromateo]

@Branden Kohs Tinno Cycles Became Scarab :)

[@bmlkohs]

@@tapieromateo wow. Didn't realize that. My friend has a couple of thier bikes and they are beautiful. When did that happen? His most recent bike from them was purchased last year.

[@tapieromateo]

Branden Kohs basically just a name change, because one of the partners wanted to retire

[@gravelociraptor]

Allied makes some great bikes!! I live in the city where they are manufactured and see them all over town. All I can do is drool over them though.

[@AndysAverageAdventures]

Have to check out Bossi. Another Australian brand.

[@Peeuf]

Grand Bois is worth looking at too, a japanese brand that makes beautiful vintage style bikes

[@dalescott3942]

Awesome bikes, In my opinion you are missing probably the most prolific custom titanium manufacturer- Baum cycles.

[@SIvers-or2ke]

Mike Varley of Black Mountain Cycles in Point Reyes stn, Northern California. You could mention his bikes or just rave about the man himself. Living legend.

[@sanelito]

Degavi from Lund, Sweden 👍🏼

[@declanfaughey8471]

More bicycles I look at and dream about but could never afford. I don’t have a dream car but I do have a dream bicycle.

[@ernestpaul6444]

Speedvagen Argonaut Stoemper Breadwinner Cycles English Cycles Cielo (Now discontinued) Mosaic Firefly Alchemy 6 of those are right here in Oregon, so I dont even have to go far to find my fix for some proper Boutique bikes!!

Prova's from Melbourne!

[@Quimerateck]

Bring the 27" back please, btw those boutique bikes are state of the art vehicles

Dosnoventa

Pablo Herrera yeah sure, I know them. But they outsource their frames from Italy. So yeah nah yeah, really cool brand and team though!

[@gimpprice]

Breadwinner! Moth Attack! 😘

[@nodnarb19]

Another one to look into All-City Cycles in Bloomington, MN, USA

[@astrayagrarian]

brandon trent All-City isn’t custom.

[@_velo.v_]

You listed all the websites of your sponsors yet none for these bikes manufacturers from your video... 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@naqibchowdhury8495]

Standert is my favorite company

[@Bierbrot]

have you heard about "Rennstahl und Falkenjagd"? Its an German Bike manufactory... Awesome Bikes

[@fastestmilkman3840]

Loved to no22 - however I can't justify £5k for a frameset, may be it is not too late to train as a dentist..

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

BASTION is my favourite.

Breadwinner bikes!

[@jwlarocque]

GMBN should do a video on boutique brands.

Good idea, we'll ask them very nicely when they're back from doing silly jumps and skids

[@emmanuelsongalia7380]

Please try to feature Philippines' local frame builder Ave Maldea. Thank you in advance.

Damn, son... Money, money, money, money

Irish Cycles from North Carolina USA.

[@richs949]

Nothing beats a Mason Definition! Had mine for 6 months and can't recommend enough.
