No it's better then GCN 😁
Can't be more british than using tea as a measuring scale for tan walls.
Agre 😂😂😂
That was my venge, the tyres are the GP5000 Cream Wall edition. They have since been upgraded to the 28mm version 😎. I can promise the bike is amazing to ride.
Beautiful bike, always wanted one as a kid watching racing with my dad
I rated it 8.5/10 ❤ for me it looks better than the shown italian Bikes 😅
They were just jealous of it
Cyclepunks!
Very nice bike to ride. Although I’d agree with their rating as it’s straight off the shelf
"Its a vittoria... I know my tan-walls", doesn't recognize the Conti GP5000 pattern*
Thought the same thing LOL. "I know my tan walls" Looks nothing like a vittoria. TDF GP5000.
Yep, it’s my bike and you are spot on. These were when they only did the 25mm version. I’ve since replaced them with the 28mm version 😂
I knew they weren't Vittoria, but I couldn't tell they were gp5000
Agree on do away with gender specific. There was a pink liv I wanted but they don't make those for dudes who are 6'6 in the morning and 6'5 in the evening.
Gender specific bikes r important bc men and women r different physically, more than just height. However, if a women's bike fits u better than ride that, if a men's bike fits u better than ride that. Just get a men's bike and paint it pink.
Dropper especially the short dropper post is the drunks best friend. Your butt never has to leave the seat. Hit the dropper at lights and you are still seated. Hit the lever to come back up after you are across the intersection. Easy
Generally speaking, droppers are made for junctions- things you come across no matter where you ride, unlike hills. And track stands are nice if your'e a circus employee.
@@yoavmiller216 daily dose of copium...😂
@@yoavmiller216Or you can just put a foot on the ground?
@@omegaPhixyou’ve obviously never ridden a bike drunk. The ground is to be avoided at all costs.
I enjoyed that. Kinda like an in depth GCN bike vault without all the judgement on how the picture has been taken! Bit harsh on the specialised I thought. They were Conti GP5000's TdF special edition tyres, in case you were wondering. Listed as "cream" side walls.
I mean Gcn are real hypocrits, when it comes to that in general, which is why I can not take them serious apart from other things
you sure it wasnt a specialized or vittoria? lol
@@Bradbajc eh?
Waiting for someone to submit their decathlon £800 bike and justly get 10/10 😉
I have to submit my proper Frankenbike and see what that conversation sounds like 😂
Those old wheels are 27”. It was an odd size and I had trouble getting tires even 20 years ago. However the ones that I could find were 1-1/4” knobby tires which are quite similar to gravel ties now. So they were far ahead of their time. But it also means that a lot of those frames are kinda junk today as the brakes are set up for those wheels and it’s hard to even fit a new 700c set of wheels.
Yeah I’ve had a couple old 27” wheel frames. Surprisingly I could still buy new 27 tires last year (somewhat terrible hard “commuter” 27/1.25) but yeah that was probably very old stock. Most of them seem to work with 700c tires if you buy long reach brakes, and I had to drill out the brake mounting points to fit the recessed nut type brakes. After spreading the rear triangle from 126mm to 130 you can put new drivetrain stuff on it. Voila, dirt cheap road/urban/lock it up in a city bike.
It’s a fixy, no need for brakes 🤷♂️.
Yeah, 635mm. Have fun searching the Internet for 27" tyres because of 27.5 😂
The guy with the Venge must be slitting his wrists now that the Halfords Carrera got marked at the same rating! 😬
I’ll be ok 😂
@@tarikqirem2870Are you going to buy a Halfords Carrera?😅
@@truthseeker8483 I’m hoping to find someone who is willing to swap one for my venge!
@@tarikqirem2870 If it makes you feel any better, your bike is my dream bike and I’d give it a 10/10! 👌
Nothing wrong with a Carrera mate.
Those skinwalls are Continental GP5000 Tour De France Special Edition that use a lighter hue than normal Continental tyres. Also look at the tread. Call me a tyre nerd! 😂😂
Nerd 🤓 I like the tyres too.
@@zedddddful 😂😂
I can confirm you are correct, it’s my bike 😂
@@tarikqirem2870 Thanks! Great looking bike by the way! 👍
I have a Carrera Crossfire 2 which I use to commute. I appreciate the suspension because the potholes en route are cavernous and in order to use/access the short & pitiful bike lanes, you have to traverse curbs and stretches of pavement that feel like riding a jackhammer. Nice video Edit: Yes, the triple is awful
My dad has a bike that I think you may appreciate. 1990s Colnago Master Piu, fluted columbus steel tubing, original purple and gold livery, build up with Dura Ace 7800. It is quite simply, *stunning*. However it currently in pieces in the loft and I need to find a way to get it back on the road. Edit: should add it's not been left to rust. It's lovingly wrapped up and protected for when it will ride again. We put it up there when we did a load of work to the house but haven't had a chance (or space) to rebuild it yet
Get to work!
Oh gods, please give it some love and care and get it back on the road!
11:40 you mean 27". Standard on most bikes up until mid-'80s
Yeah, 630mm instead of 622mm on a 700c. That caught me out the first time I worked on a mate's bike 😂
I had a 1987 Schwinn that had those.
One of the fastest 20 minutes I’ve ever experienced
would love to see more of these!!! awesome stuff
A good bike is one that makes you feel like you want to go for a ride because you're confident that it will reliably get you to where you want to go safely and in relative comfort. I see a lot of cheaper bikes that seem to fill these requirements even though they might lack many of the questionable features that are being marketed on top end bikes.
I'm happy with my Decathlon RS500 Low Frame (Sporty Omafiets) for daily 35 km commute haha.
poor Venge boi lo!! keep this segment going!
I’ll be fine, I love my bike 😂😎
Its like the tea you don't want to drink 😂 pure gold from Jimmi 👌
Have you just teabagged the tanned walls 😂
Hahaha, can confirm that the FSA chainring on Topstones are melted cheese (bent mine a ton). Also the offset/chainline was mis-spec-ed for the GRX front mech, such that you got tons of chain-rub.
Enjoyed that, might stick mine in especially once the bits that are in the post get here.... its gotta be closer to the cinelli than the venge - I hope 😅
Amazed at the amount of forward saddle tilt going on here. Guys must be carryin' a lot of junk.
The Bianchi reminds me of my Argon 18. Bought it, turned out the components were shot. But I replaced everything with 105 and I love it. Similar weight, wouldn't trade it either. There's something about working on a bike that makes you connected to it.
I’ve got Carrera Crossfire 1 that I bought for £250 in 2016 (since then it’s had a new gearset, wheels, and brakes). I recently did a 3 day loop of London to Bristol - circa 280 miles. The suspension is heavy and pointless like they mentioned, and the flat handle bars suck after about 70k but I’m happy that bike got a run around and even if now I’m looking to replace it with a gravel bike. I could never get rid of it
My first triathlon was on a borrowed Specialised Rockhopper MTB, with clapped out off road tyres, flat pedals, and I can barely swim. Now I have a Giant TCX and I can still barely swim...
This is how it's done. Had a Rockhopper A1 that was specc'd out with all the spare top end gear I had from racing, rode as messenger for several years on it, until some ****head stole it. Best. Bike. Ever. (Apart from my Klein Adroid, but that was in an entirely different league - in a different universe.) Also there should be capital punishment for people who steal bikes.
Same. I’m planning on doing an aqua bike event later this year, I’m hoping the wetsuit will somehow turn me into an epic swimmer 😅
@@PhilOsGarage it helped me marginally not drown...
Love this new format!
Venge is still the best looking bike ever.
Steel Fugios are awesome. I love mine and the dropper is a game changer for offroad. Built mine from a frameset to avoid the stock wheels which are pretty crappy.
Loved that, do more pls
Everytime you guys were saying ‘’tan walls’’ I was hearing: Tamoul 🤣
What a great way to do this sort of video!
I had an aluminum topstone that came with wobbly cranks, cassette and chain rings. great bike otherwise but what the eff?
Thank you for using more of the scale than just 7.5-10!
With my short ADHD attention span I watched the whole segment without looking out the window, tabbing off to another page, or playing with my phone. So well done guys on a fun segment. Look an squirrel! Chels c:
It is amazing to think that with all the frame and parts and accessory options, new or old or a combination of the two, each of us creates a bike unlike anyone else's and that's no disrespect to owners who chose to keep their high-dollar bikes stock and ready to rock. And thanks for this show, really fun to see what everyone is riding, tho' I do think if a bike is submitted with a love letter about it, at least two relationship points should be added to your judgment of its attributes and aesthetic. 😀
I am curious to know if you have a nice standard Alluminum base (nothing over the top) and you change the gears and anything else related to speed aside from the aero, can you have a really fast normal bike or no?
Simon, you legend! My type of guy. Good luck on your triathlon 👍
Good take on the whole rate my ride thing, but you could go one up and do a bring people in and have a ride and rate each other’s ride
Surprised you didn't mention/catch the fact that the owner of the first bike only had a bottle cage on the seat tube, which looks completely unhinged to me
If you carry your bike often that's the best option. It's where most CX racers put theirs for the warmer races. It also stays a bit cleaner when you're in the mud
I do that with my down tube . The seat looks like a great alternative
I mean, its pretty unusual but its pretty common
Dropper in beasty gravel is a must
A dropper is not good for "getting the seat out of the way" it's better for getting the seat in a climbing position/flat straightaway position. If you lower the saddle but rest all your weight on it.....your center of gravity is at the seat. If you slightly lift off the Saddle , your main weight position is at the pedals for handling of the bike. I agree about that suspension, it doesn't do a lot and most times they weight about the same as a Rock Shox Boxxer. You would have more fun with the 200mm downhill fork :)
That is a fun format guys! Keep the good-fun-happy-cycling-work, yeaaah ! Love to your team !
I love this episode :D Will send you my 80's Mendiz when I finish the build :D Should be somewhere next week :) Hope you'll take it in to the vid :)
Will there be another one of these?
Loved this!
My road bike I bought in the 80's has that odd size of rims. trying to put a trainer tire on was an hour long fight(ending in failure). I ended up buying a new wheel.
Can't wait for the next episode of the 'Rate My Saddle Sore' video series.
Padding is overrated.
1st bike up, Genesis with the dropper post. Is that for after the punts to aid getting on the bike 😂
* pints
If Francis stays up long enough, he ends up being an Owl 👀
That vigorelli, with the spacers and that seatpost height, could easily size up
Good format - I could be tempted to send in a bike for rating!
6:48 is gp500as I think by pattern and wall color
I'm not a specialized geek but the venge was the best looking Bike in my opinion ❤
"Vintage wheel size", haha. 27" is what I grew up with. 700c is the "new-fangled" size for me!
lol same
My kind of bike critique, no of that gcn nonsense 👏🏼
Cinelli's XCR is a beautifully sculpted iron machine. What organ do I need to sell to get a really nice one?
You need a bell 😂.... wish I sent one of mine in....
that venge has conti gp5k cream tire
"If you remove the sticker the paint comes off" lolol
Cannondale's typeface is not Helvetica, look at the heel of the "a". It's a font called Favorit.
Time to start a new series, "Roasting Cade Media's Video Lengths" >:)
I'd love to send a couple of my bikes in, where can I se when it's happening again?
Think you guys need to go to a uk local tri and see some of the bikes in transitions you get everything you can imagine
I appreciate your sensible rating scale
Jimmi knows what time to drop a post.
6:55 Continental 😭
Guys not even able to spot the tyre manufacturers ‚roasting‘ bike setups 🤦🏻♂️😂
Albany cycles is my LBS, great team of lads in there it was nice to hear their name on here ❤
This was great
Where can we post our rides for future roasts?
Continental calls it cream!
I never understand y people hate on droppers on bikes they dont own. I use a dropper on my cx commuter for comfy, safer breaks at stop lights and to fit in my gf sedan when i meet her at her job (20 ish miles away) to go out and eat and drive back. It prevents me from having to take off my seatpost everytime and ruining its saved position and alignment. Plus nicer to sit on a bike and warm up out of the parking lot when its slammed, luxury
Ok, I'll get a pic and you can roast my silly bike.
I’m with Francis on not speccing suspension forks on every bike. In the Netherlands loads of touring/city/daily driver bikes come with those. Performance is poor, heavy as f_ck and a rigid fork would liberate some budget to spend in a more reasonable place.
Yeah, my Suntours on my MTB wouldn’t lock out, so tightened them but now there isn’t any movement. Am in no rush to repair them as I’m happy with my 38mm on my gravel bike going over rough stuff, so why bother with suspension when I have even wider tyres on my MTB
Balloon Tires win over suspension forks for slow city bikes IMO
If you get to 60, you'll begin to appreciate even a SunTour fork.
@@lysanatt when I rode an e-bike with suspension fork and seat post, I found it too unpredictable, it's not really safe to ride IMO. Almost catapults you back when you go up a sidewalk, almost threw me off. And suffice it to say I don't think reflexes are gonna get better over the next 24 years, so I'm wary. Of course that bike may just have too soft and bouncy suspension, I don't know, it never saw the inside of a bike shop or suspension maintenance after purchase.
@@JulianAndresKlode agree 100%. Less maintenance, more reliable and, if you ask me, a better ride than those cheap suspension forks.
How do we submit our rides for you to roast?
What's the address to submit to the Bike Vault? Will I be penalized for not using a shadow stand?
once upon a time I rode a 61cm frame, I now ride a 54/56. I'm 6'6"
Guys, when is the new episode coming out?
And the reason the bike industry is awash in debt, is they have been falsely promoting a false narrative of 'Pimp my Ride' for the last 10 years. Karma can be cruel.
I can only assume that the ‘weird’ almost 700c wheel size is actually 27x11/4”…which was on ALL bikes,pre.1970’s up until 700c took over ,which was the same size as tubulars.😂 Nothing weird there!
Turned off when we're rating immaculate venges at 5 😥
1:08 Francis is correct here
Yup. Smells like GCN. But I still love it
Third bike is conti gt5000 cream sidewall noobs!
Funny size historic tyres are probably 27x1(inches)
The GIANT on the blue cinellie 1 x 12 with deep dish carbon rims. How is he getting away running 24 spoke wheels
The topstone was nicer than 7, especially better than the genesis imo.
Jimmy, before they were banned pros used "spinnachi" bars at the front of the bunch. What do you mean when you say "sick"? Guys, what is it with the tan sidewalls? Whats wrong with "round and black"? Francis, you mean 27inch wheels. Pity you guys don't read the comments you ask for.
Tan "Cream" walls for the win!! Especially on a 5/10 rated Venge
Are you guys certain it's a dropper post and not a suspension post?
I will not stand for any slander of the Venge of any sort
What are you two talking about they need to make bike for tall man I spent 9 month looking for bike my size they don’t make any people over 6foot 6 but 54 cm frames everywhere
There is a cannondale topstone with Sora and mechanical disc brakes, its bad
FSA cranks aren't even made of melted cheese - playdough™ at best!
My bike is also a female bike specialized amira 44cm , because i am also as short as F .
Carrera do do a bike called the subway, which has a alloy fork. Probably a great bike
What is the Norwegian wheelbrand named?
Those old wheels are 27x 1 1/4, no?
Sticker removal, tea tree oil.
