How Bad Are These Cheap Ebay Bikes? | GCN Presenter Challenge

[@gcn]

Let us know which bike you'd choose 👇

[@NielsHeldens]

Global Cycling Network definitely Lasty’s

[@collins735]

Gotta be Dan's, if you can't go fast, go cool!

[@juuljanssens3911]

Lasty’s!!!!!!

[@angstanon]

That Schwinn. I want to cruise my hood on that beauty!

[@benrobertson3070]

Love this challenge! PLEASE do another one of these - maybe include a 100m drag race?! Kudos to the narrator too! I love Lasty's trike!

[@jamesetheridge6224]

Still one of the best GCN videos ever. Please do more of these!

[@gcn]

Hi James, we're glad you're enjoying it! Here's a video we did last year! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2KwdH2MnJd3hKc

[@briangrissom9115]

Please...in the name of all things holy....do more of these! Just. Fantastic.

[@gcn]

Thanks Brian! We loved making it!

@@gcn It's a bit like old Top Gear, but with cycling

[@decraemerdante]

Gcn goes top gear :p

[@larslosh5598]

literally just paused the grand tour to watch this. It can wait.

[@PTTM2006]

If they were named The grand tour , BBC's lawyers would have contacted them by now :D

[@louisgreenleaf235]

+PTTM2006 bbc don't own the grand tour

[@nimaforoughi7266]

PTTM2006 More like "The Gran Fondo", or GCN "The Big Ring".

[@arnaud.durand]

I was thinking exactly the same x)

[@DarkSlideRC]

Very enjoyable Top Gear vibe. It's much more entertaining and relatable to see the lads riding cheap or novelty bikes than the latest ultra light speed machines

[@boltoms]

Okay, but that first bike was beautiful! I would totally sport that.

[@neilcaress9036]

I had one of those and loved it

[@muhdedry3278]

miss the old gcn tho

I can't get over how Matt laughs :D this was fun to watch

[@laurieislaurie]

Hu-ah HA! HA!

Glad you like it! Jon

[@joaomarques9457]

You still canal Watch them in The Grand Tour

[@mohamedtarek53]

Yes me to

[@bubbaw1234]

Matt's laugh gets a lot of deserved love, but Lloydy has a great chuckle himself.

[@devrockne]

You guys are great together!!! It’s like the original Top Gear on bicycles!!! Keep up the great work .

[@joshhhhhhh713]

Brought a catapult to a nuclear war hahahaahha

[@charlenecql]

[@kajet666]

Best GCN video ever, period. And the commentary... Kudos to the writing team!

[@ZeroSeriesMMX]

No question that I love GCN videos, but this one is uphill hilarity at its finest. Had to chug a beer for this. Life is good.

[@benstanden8784]

:') Probably the best GCN video yet! Matt looks absolutely in his element and rather suave on the Carlton - he definelty got the best bike out of the lot.

[@StevenMolina]

Please put Matt's laughs on sale as a ringtone.

[@samuele8361]

That would be awsome

[@tyleannulment2234]

I saw your post and made a recording of his laughter. Indeed, it was hilarious.

[@ConsciousBreaks]

This was peak GCN: Matt, Si, Dan, Lasty, the narration. I just can't stop grinning at 16:00 when Lasty's bike is on its last leg and just collapses in on itself 😂

[@julen2380]

It really, really was! Re-watching in nostalgia.

[@NielsHeldens]

THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE!!!

[@MrX-ys2cd]

who are you? commenting under every video on yt

[@KG-jr8lc]

im pretty impressed by dans bunny hop skills on the cruiser to be honest :D

[@carlblaskowitz7817]

That laughter is worth the entire video, I cant believe he used to be a cop, now he makes people all over the world laugh their ass off on the internet. Fantastic!

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

Who is this commentator? He is absolutely hilarious. “Time to take Granny for a spin” 😂😂😂

[@robbo1013]

Carlton Kirkby, eurosport cycling commentator. He narrates a couple of the other GCN presenter challenges (with the original 4). Also well worth a watch

[@robbo1013]

*Kirby

[@rudolfje-z4x]

Hes unfunny

[@pierrefitter]

Lasty's face when he realised he had to take a bent trike frame up a 5km, 6% gradient hill...

[@pierrefitter]

Loved this, GCN... laughed right through

[@harrypoon3410]

Hm

[@abrahamalkhatib9762]

Being years of GCN fan and having watched all videos... I am comfortably declaring that this is the best video of all.

[@ccdbcvtrider1]

This was the BEST episode on GCN EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[@xGshikamaru]

ccdbcvtrider1 yeah I have rarely laughed as hard as with this one, awesome!

[@christiansoulsby8896]

ccdbcvtrider1 it was the best vid from gcn ever

[@craigjackson3130]

Great episode guys!

[@ccdbcvtrider1]

Tom's look at 6:05 is so awesome

[@felipeagh]

Tom Last and the folding bike xD

[@NielsHeldens]

Alright Dan: Clarkson Si and Tom: Captain Slow Matt: Hammond Loving this video chaps!

[@MatadorCE]

HAMMOND!!

[@JustAdelaideRacing]

I dunno. Si=Hammond, Dan and Lasty=May, and Matt = a less offensive Clarkson.

[@adventuremonkey]

Thank god its not top gear!

[@wiimachine]

i was just thinking that this reminded me of top gear

[@sean0611]

What about the stig?

[@MattePurple1]

Excellent video, I really appreciate that humor from across the Atlantic. I also love the videos where you ride bikes closer to my price range.

[@berndkraemer2832]

This was by far the best video from you guys. I am still crying tears of laughter and my wife is looking at me as if I were a lunatic. The commentary was hilarious! Please do more of these - can't wait to watch them.

[@andrewwalker1726]

"It's certinaly a load of parabollocks". Amazing, wish I was back in 9th year maths class so i could use that joke.

Smokey you mean Big Ring?

[@MrJonyish]

The fact you haven’t done a sequel to this despite it only costing a few hundred quid is shocking

[@kishascape]

Because like a lot of "cheap" youtube challenges I highly doubt it. They always under report the costs.

[@lucasng4712]

[@kennethlow99]

TONIGHT ! Si rides a gryphon, Tom throws his bike, Dan walks up a mountain and Matt does a wheelie

[@nathanksimpson]

The writing for this episode's voice over was classic.

[@jonowee]

Not my idea of a folding bike.

[@nickmarshall2585]

Watched this one again just now. Cheers guys for being good sports and giving us all some fun and Matt’s laugh.

[@petercort3566]

these group challenges are ALWAYS awesome! Thanks for continuing to do them!

[@thechristate2010]

Miss These presenters. Although love the new ones too of course

[@Thorpedon]

Dan - "Check that it has triangle shapes in the frame", proceeds to check his own bike for triangle shapes

[@wcubbin]

A worthy winner! I spent 3 winters commuting on a Gryphon I got from ebay. I did put some decent brakes on it but it was comfortable and sure footed in all conditions. Although I'd still pick the Carlton if I was buying a bike tomorrow as I'd love to add something classic to my shed.

[@guitsynthcw]

As always, great commentary by Mr Kirby

[@manicman89]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes. You need to do this again when you can!!!

Thank you GCN for the early X'mas present. You reminded me the true spirit of X'mas. Its not about what or how much you spend but that you share it with your mates. That is priceless.

I watched it in bed last night and work the whole gaff up laughing many times. Thanks so much for this and I hope we get a top gear challenge every month .

[@daniellloyd100]

pobg Glad you liked it.

[@frazergoodwin4945]

Great video - should do another challenge and mix it up a bit by throwing in maintenance challenges and allowing an upgrade after a certain time when they know what needs improving most (new frame in Toms case!)

[@williamdowling7718]

Incredible. I had a horrific day and I've been in a bad mood the entire day.. And this video had me in stitches.. Laughing out loud all by myself.. This is absolute gold content. Thanks gcn.

Things like this are SO FUN to watch. Keep it up! More cheap challenges! Would be great to see if you can BUILD a bike out of salvaged parts, cheapest commuter bike etc.

[@0419JayK]

I missed these kinda video. Love it

[@416939]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on this channel for a while. The production quality for is really really good. I would really watch this on TV. Probably because it is a Christmas Special, but doing more videos like this is definitely something I would recommend

[@allanonabike]

'A longer drought than even Cannondale-Drapac' God damn Si...ruthless.

[@hugobci]

After watching every gcn, gmbn, etc. This is by far, the best one. Every one is having fun, in front and behind cameras. I need more of this kind of crazy!

[@pratmak]

Definitely the best GCN vid besides the tricking your mates video. Reminds me of the old top gear :)

[@ojtibi9906]

I was re-watching this 'coz I missed Matt and Lasty... then I remembered how stellar the narration was! Who wrote the script? He needs a raise!

[@Gustavovskiy]

Absolute blast of a video. You should think about doing a presenter championship with different challenges next year. Keep it up, guys!

[@jonburnell532]

One of your best videos ever. Absolutely loved it! However, was anbody else slightly concerned that the newest bike took the furthest to brake?

[@jonburnell532]

Luka Gorjup Ah, I must have missed that comment.

[@meliss9536]

Please do another one of these. The challenges are the best! This 100 pound, Christmas-Themed challenge was great.

[@hugobalder1866]

can somebody pls give an award to the whole narration team :D

[@NZWozza]

Brilliant, loved it. More like this. Love the Banter between the hosts. Top Gears challenges were ruined by being too scripted, keep it down to earth and make more!

[@charliefletch2002]

GCN > Top Gear

[@hedleykerr3564]

I don't know how I missed this one, but it just cracked me up! I about choked to death on my fig bar when I saw Lasty's 3 wheeler folding up where as he couldn't pedal without hitting the pavement with the crankarms, great humor guys and we can't forget about the classic laugh of Matt Stephens again great show guys thanks!

[@garymmx]

Brilliant. Thanks. I'd take Matt's bike.

[@marchandford7787]

Just epic. Was in fits of laughter watching this. You guys need to do more of this. May be one a month?

[@youssefghermani5961]

This Moët & Chandon is actually a fine champagne, nice spot Dan.

[@damFr]

Youssef GHERMANI if it is Moët & Chandon it costs easy 1/3 of the bike :) guys don’t waste such nice product and drink it cold in a proper glass to respect the work done to accomplish such beverage. It is not beer!

[@alexandermclaughlin3978]

Dam C Please, it's overpriced, mass produced, over sugary, mtv champagne. Not worth the price, much like that trike, though the trike is at least an honest piece of crap.

[@damFr]

Alexander McLaughlin tu ne sais pas de quoi tu parles... désolé l’américain :p

[@gethind-j2390]

It's shite, there are many better champagnes. Overpriced piss.

[@damFr]

Gethin D-J well don’t buy it then. Because of high demand (English people included) the price goes up every year. It was cheaper when it was only sold in France and before the queen her majesty Elisabeth II appointed this champagne (it is written on every bottle). Vineyard are limited and production can’t grow. It requires minimum 18 month to do a Champagne. Hard work, tears and blood. Show some respects guys !

[@BikeItUK]

This Video is a CLASSIC even my non cycling friend and even the wife was in stitches laughing!! Thank you, all the best Andy

[@ilikelampshades6]

"Just a load of parabolics"
