Amazing shop and the fact that they substitute factory wheels with their own hand built wheels speaks volumes to their focus on quality.

[@jeffandersen6233]

I can't imagine any shop I know that would build a set of wheels for a new bike because they know it's better. Amazing. And I must add, terrific job Russ on continuing to provide interesting content while acclimating to Spain

[@dadwithwrenches]

What an awesome shop!

[@hnurminen]

Pelago bikes keep popping up in the shops you feature. Now that you are on this side of the pond maybe you should plan a visit here to Finland in the coming summer to meet the guys. Some nice bike packing opportunities, too.

[@ecnaruaL]

I have been an EspaiBici customer for 10 years and had no idea what lurked beneath the floor!

[@paulaspinall919]

Wow. What a superb bike shop. Great guy.

[@chaomiMx]

La tienda es sensacional, el surtido de artículos para viaje y transporte impresionante, su website da pena, complicado de navegar, los thumbnails no informan lo necesario, no aparecen muchos productos que se observan o mencionan en el video, en fin.

[@edwardgh57]

Definitely insane , wouldn’t make it out of that shop in one hour, so much to see. With new bike selling, service and micro distribution ,this guy knows what it takes to run a bike business!

[@mgbroncos]

I was really impressed by everything they had. Plus Angel, seems like a great dude to have at your local bike shop.

[@rdawson808]

Holy crap. That shop is huge and deep and never-ending.

[@richardpepper2986]

Wow, It‘s so wonderful to see Angel! He lived for many years in London and 15+ years ago was our LBS guy at the brilliant Condor Cycles (coincidentally at the same time as the young Giro d‘Italia winner Tao Geoghan Hart!). Such a lovely guy. 10 years ago he let me test a prototype of their Heritage Disc before it was in full production. Shortly after this we did a bike fit and he helped me spec my dream bike, which was one of the first Heritage Disc‘s to roll of the factory floor, which I of course still have. Cream with white accents, spec’d with 105, narrow dropped bars, 32mm tires and Mavic wheels, SON dynamo with B&M USB charging and a Hope rear hub. We created a bike for on-road / off-road touring. A sort of gravel bike, before gravel was really a thing. Maybe we were at the vanguard ;) Hope you‘re well Angel! I will definitely drop in the next time I’m in Barcelona.

[@Josukegaming]

So cool! As another American living in Europe, keep the European bike shops and companies content coming!

[@TheSmurf900]

man I wish we have this kind of bikeshop here in my country

[@JohnPilling25]

I will definitely be visiting as I'll be in Barcelona this May/June for a day or 2 before heading back to Perpignan. What a bike emporium. Glad you are finding these places and letting us all know about them. Keep up the great work Russ.👍👍👍😀

[@hippiebits2071]

This gentleman seems like an absolute treasure. Amazing place too!

[@ManuelSerrano-x3s]

Grande Angel! Muy profesionales él y David! Trabajamos con ellos desde hace tiempo y estamos muy contentos. Queda pendiente una visita, aunque este video es un buen adelanto!

[@walcottav]

I think you may have found a home Russ. Sweet shop.😉

[@philipbyrne3037]

That is cycling! Love the servicing on a seperate level. Skilled jobs, especially in this setting, require people to be immersed in their work. Gives new meaning to Next Level!

[@georgeleakos8376]

Wow! Cool video, I can spend hours in a shop like that. Reminds me of bike shops in Japan. Plus, Surly is also very big there. 😊

[@DefaultUsername156]

Was that place a fortress before it was a bike shop?! Guess I'm visiting Spain to siege the walls of this bike shop.

[@ecopennylife]

This shop is like a TARDIS, bigger on the inside 😅

[@MaciejNaumienko]

Great, agile camera work in this episode. Compliments to camara(wo)man!

[@crateinvader8572]

Awesome shop, something that size just wouldn't be feasible in London where I'm from, because of the cost of rent and overheads.

[@klarkolofsson]

Working in a bike in Stockholm, Sweden myself. That’s what I kept thinking too.

[@gerardcastella4836]

Espaibici is and has long been a reference in the bicycle touring / bikepacking scene in Spain. Attention to every single detail, customer service and high knowledge are the core values of Espaibici, thanks to David, Angel and the other staff. I bought my first custom-made bicycle in Espaibici more than 15 years ago, and that Fetamà brought me to ride half the world. Now, with a sturdy Surly Ogre, I couldn't be happier. Don't hesitate to stop by and say hello to Espaibici people if you ever visit Barcelona.

[@ottawabikeandtrail]

Love to see Surly holding it down in Spain.

[@Frostbiker]

The wheel building side business looks super interesting. I would love to learn more about what they do and how they see it add value to the bikes and the business.

[@anthonykoleszar1779]

Stateside; try “Bicycle Heaven “ in Pittsburgh, PA, crazy amount of bikes & accessories. ✌️🇺🇸

[@jasoncbrooks74]

Cool shop

[@sagehiker]

How did find your way back out? Incredible shop and center. Well done interview and hope you get to work Angel & Company more as they have connections across Spain and the EU with a definite party pace and commuter vibe.

[@ValLicon-e5n]

I've been enjoying your reports of the bicycling scene in Catalonia. My wife and I are going to be in Girona for a couple of weeks starting in mid April. We hope to do a combination of road and mixed surface riding. Is there a site which is easy to use for finding rides of about 20 to 45 miles in length? Thanks...maybe we will see you riding.

[@ngorkngork]

I can get lost inside that shop. The way the owner talks reminds me of Alberto Contador.

[@anthonyross9351]

RUSS: "Tell me how all these brands compare to Surly"

[@migzz7976]

Surly Straggler in chlorine Dream blue….Love my heavy mama.

[@wftorres3913]

can i request you to visit ORBEA factory? hehehe

[@brianmiller1254]

I didn't see an elevator. I would hate to carry a long E-cargo bike down to the shop on the lowest floor.

[@HelpOrNot]

Would love to see you guys do some food touring by bike. First time my wife and I were in Barcelona we nearly missed our flight back because we had three lunches. Also I can’t forget one time the reward for riding up a mountain in Majorca was the best tapas I’ve had in my life. We were on hotel rental bikes so the reward was well deserved!

[@jellyfishsalad5926]

Cool place. I hope they never have to relocate. Would be a nightmare!

[@MMcG25]

I spy an OG Ghots Grappler on the wall - is it a Medium? ;)

[@BuckleyJonathan-nr1wu]

This guy is level of English is quite impressive - he knows even obscure cycling specific parts in English, which is more than a lot of native English speakers do.

[@TheSmalltownmind]

my only english is bikeparts 😅

[@cjvilleneuve1566]

Thats one crazy bike store,,,lucky for those who live near.

[@lkflrs]

This was an awesome tour! Great shop, great guy!

[@jeffsparman8369]

That shop was soo cool, and what a nice guy.

[@thesouthbaybikerider]

Very cool shop! Thank you for spotlighting it 😊

[@michaellofaso1351]

That place is incredible!!

[@travisfinucane]

I wonder why they stopped selling bromptons. I saw folding bikes all over the place in Spain--especially Valencia where they comprise the majority of non-ebikes.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Probably because a lot of Brompton only shops popped up.

[@freedomwon2004]

Dyno hub wheel please!

[@Moveoverrover]

Pleasant ride in Valley

[@noahrobinson1913]

Im suprised you havent heard of pelago theirnracks are fairly popular in toronto.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

You hardly seem them in the US.

[@k0ba_]

I wanna work in this shop ❤

[@Kyleridesbikess]

Seems like a cool place to be

[@cameronbracken6223]

Cave of good ideas hah!

[@donnyo65]

Cool shop and a cool guy.

[@jered2177]

Awesome shop

[@TheSpaceBrosShow]

Wow what a place. Dream shop

[@colinhardie9194]

Great shop

[@billrose2202]

Cool... important to support local bike shops. Handbuilt wheels are golden. Good job guys

[@josephhaddock6676]

So glad you went to back for an interview with Angel, I was surprised when you didn’t on the first video. He’s such a genuine and lovely guy. We dropped by there to get a wheel trued after landing in Barcelona and then again to clean our bikes(they have a full cleaning station you can access yourself) they were really accomodating and friendly.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

He wasn't there the first time we visited.

[@elzangano]

Thanks for the shop tour. I didn't know it was so big. It's my fav BCN shop, where I bought my folding bike, accesories and wheels. Top brand selection and costumer friendly service as you can see. 👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼

[@reedjacksonmaccom]

wow

[@dariuslankarian3282]

Pelago makes beautiful bikes. Hopefully they can start selling outside Europe in larger volumes.

[@MrTaylorAlcorn]

Amazing! Would love to visit. Also, always fantastic to see a shop go out of their way to recycle tires/tubes. Much love from the US

[@wilyamiyoo]

Goodness, that place felt like almost an apartment block-sized. 😂 Lots of stories and vintage parts you might find hiding on those storage and floors!

[@ssenssel]

This is superb content for anybody who is even remotely interested in bikes. Cheers from Brazil 🚲🚲💚💚💛💛

[@VeloObscura]

Love that all the bikes come spec'd with their handbuilt wheels.

[@daniellarson3068]

Thanks - Lots of stuff. He was selling lots of dynamos. Has anyone combined a disk brake with a dynamo yet and sold it as a unit? It seems like a natural rather than a special wheel.

[@jeffdible8171]

Thanks for this. A very cool shop that knows its market, but also willing to push it a little bit and introduce new products and trends.

[@adamwilkinson6679]

Wow! What a cool shop. Definitely going to stop in this summer when we are in the area.

[@scooter2163]

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

[@Charlie-sr6dv]

How impressive was that? Amazing store!

[@thereeder5rs]

Awesome shop! Hope they get more activity because of this video!

[@madisondeans5566]

Wow! What a great shop! Love the content,shaking it up,funnn!!

[@BrentZahradnik]

I'll check this out next time i'm in town. Super interview!

[@shafiqjan1474]

The lower levels were priceless, they may have the ultimate bike cave. ❤ 👍🏼🤘🏻

[@alexanderlawson1649]

In this internet age its a great thing of value to have, a good bike shop.

[@michael_onabike]

Um, wow! Thanks, Russ, that was a fun visit to a funky shop. This is the way.

[@beerenmusli8220]

Seems like a great shop, thanks for the showcase!

[@HelpOrNot]

Great shop tour. Super nice

[@digdidit2346]

Amazing looking shop!

[@ferdinandmelchor4242]

Cool bike shop!

[@paulevans5455]

Awesome shop.

[@Barry101er]

Great episode. A bit worrying to hear that rim brake wheels are may be getting harder to find-surely not

[@beerenmusli8220]

That will not be a problem, I've seen so many rim brake rims that got painted entirely and combined with disk brakes. ..

[@astro61362]

Man, was that fun! Wish more shops like this existed in the States!

[@lindenmoore]

When do you move to Barcelona?

[@froilanalegre342]

Where in Barcelona

[@1231maui]

No e bikes ❤ it

[@beerenmusli8220]

It's a niche bike shop, after all

[@beerenmusli8220]

But uhm have you seen the video completely?

[@hey_you_SHUT_UP]

I moved to Barcelona a few months ago and your first video at this shop helped me find them. I was able to pick up a few accessories and will get some more soon! Thanks for the recommendation
