Let us know which Italian bicycle brands you'd like to see in our next video in the comments below 👇

@chintamanikelkar3548 6 лет назад

Giant bicycles

@albertomarmi2499 6 лет назад

Masi, Alan and Somec

@compgeke 6 лет назад

How about a Japanese cycling companies video? Think Panasonic, Fuji, Bridgestone, Nishiki, etc.

@JonCannings 6 лет назад

De Rosa. The man who built bikes for Eddy Merckx as well as teaching him to build bikes.

@BCCoxFam 6 лет назад

here here De Rosa please

@terbennett 6 лет назад

I have to agree. I thought for sure De Rosa would've been one of the four.

@WorldofColnago 5 лет назад

Casati, Cinelli, Olmo, Bottecchia

@ivoiliev3957 5 лет назад

All of the above plus Masi!!!

I raced a Benotto in the 80's as a schoolboy. Fantastic bike with so much character.

@rc5814 5 лет назад

Benotto all the way. I still have my Modelo 850.

@feedbacker9385 5 лет назад

So good! If there was more space, I feel Cinelli would of course deserve to be here, as well as De Rosa, but I think Tomasso, Somec, Tomassini, and Chesini could be here as well, despite being much less well-known!

@jimmiet2224 6 лет назад

DeRosa for sure, Rossin, Ciocc, Basso. Hard to imagine any Italian bike not being a classic......

@SkarTisu 6 лет назад

De Rosa, Ciocc, Basso, Bottecchia would be fun. Thanks for doing this! Can we get more pics of the bikes during the story telling?

@andreholder1233 4 года назад

I was a NYC bicycle messenger and learned a about road & track bikes. Atala, masi, fragis,corso,and a host of sort after frames, forks and groupos, zeus, gimepi, camping, I own a Fuji track bike today. I had fun and meet a lot of interesting people made a lot of friendships that are still bonded. I thank God for all it.

@Sergio_Math 6 лет назад

I simply cannot believe Cinelli didn’t make the list. I believe this is on purpose, though, saving brands for a follow-up video. Cinelli was the biggest omission, among DeRosa, Willier and Gios, to name a few.

@Sergio_Math 6 лет назад

Matt Stephens looking forward to see that one as well!

@johnfahey6102 6 лет назад

My first real bike was a steel Ciocc, complete with the eggshell to royal blue paint fade, stamped cutouts and chrome in all the right places. When I wasn't riding it I was staring at it. I feel the same way about the carbon DeRosa that I ride now. If you were to do a second feature I'd love to see those two iconic brands included.

@joejoe8948 6 лет назад

Absolutely LOVE my Oltre XR4! After buying my first Italian bike, I can't imagine going back to the world of Trek, Specialized, and Giant, anymore. My next bike will be the Colnago C60 replacement or Wilier Cento Air Romato.

@SprayIgniteBoom 5 лет назад

@Heavywall70 5 лет назад

A Bianchi in Celeste has always been my dream bike Of course paired with Campy everything

@stuffhappens5681 3 года назад

I just built a Colnago President with a Campagnolo Record groupset and Eurus wheels. All the major components including the frameset were purchased second-hand off eBay. It’s old school now but in my view it’s still a fantastic bicycle that I plan to keep forever.

@rcapra 6 лет назад

In the early 1970s in the California bicycle racing scene, it seemed that Masi and Cinelli were the two bikes that everyone want to own. I waited three months for my 1971 Masi Gran Criterium and still have it and ride it to this day. I would love to see Masi and Cinelli profiled.

The relatively big Names Wilier and De Rosa are missing. Among the smallermones, how about casati, masi, basso, gios and tommasini

@simonrano8072 6 лет назад

the video is called 4 iconic brands not 6 or 12

@TeslasSecret 6 лет назад

Simon Rano Well it could have been 6 or 12. It was great already, but ignoring Wilier and De Rosa, two brands of rich history that are still in business and that a recent cyclist could thus relate to, seems to be a mistake. Anyway, perhaps will those be covered in a other video ?

@sweaterdood1203 6 лет назад

@bradleythordarson2219 6 лет назад

uh... matt... seems that a few other brands are weighty in relevance too, like the obviously missing De Rosa (mentioned as a rider in this segment, and who's frames were integral in Merckx's racing and later frame development), but also brands Cinelli, Wilier, Bottechia, and Olmo. I'd think that Columbus could bear fair mention with their technological support of all these companies development too...?

@jasonbutler2605 3 года назад

I think it is impossible for anyone to watch and listen to your videos and not become instantly a fan of cycling. In my view, you master a rare talent of making your audiences want to watch more and more of your presentations. I think it would be very interesting if you could upload a video of yours commenting on Raleigh bicycles (used to have one, some fifty years ago, as a teenager). Thank you so much.

@bicyclist2 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for the bike brand history. You forgot; Fondreist, DeRosa, Guerciotti, Abici, and Ciocc. I love to learn about cycling history. How about a video on some famous french bikes? Please keep it coming.

@SprayIgniteBoom 5 лет назад

@blatimir 6 лет назад

Love your channel, really, I do! Just one small criticism. You pronounce certain brands wrongly. Most commonly Campagnolo and other Italian names that incluge "gn". It is pronounced Campañolo (with the spanish n as an example). The "G" is always silent in Italian words containing "GN" and N is always Ñ. I hope I didn't cross the line here. Respect!

@JapaneseReds 5 лет назад

I think you might just have had your big toe over the line.

@PyroSax 4 года назад

THANK YOU for explaining the pronunciation! I do the same with "Adidas" and "Michangelo" (and others) - that are SO mispronounced (!!!) it's "ADEE-das" and "MICK-uh-ang-yoo-low".

@DHTCF 3 года назад

Also, Miguel Indurain's name is not pronounced "Migwell Inn-du--ran". It's "Mig-ell In -du - rhein".

@blatimir 3 года назад

@@PyroSax actually it's Adidas. Accent is on the first A. It's a German brand. Stems from the owner's name Adolf Dassler. Adi is the nickname for Adolf. So, Adi Das. English speaking folk think it's adEEdas. It's wrong.

Niels Heldens I love the Shimano Group San on my Pinarello. If it is good enough for Team Sky, it is good enough for me.

@NielsHeldens 6 лет назад

Rick Snyder yeah, but riding with a shimano group set on an Italian bike is like wearing socks over regular shoes - it works but it just isn’t right.

@ricksnyder6318 6 лет назад

Niels Heldens I understand this point of view. However, I would like to invite you to join the 21rst century ;). I love Italian frames but have only ridden Shimano. I love the buttery smooth shifts and sure braking. When I was getting into cycling many years ago, I really wanted Campy on my Bottecchia. My local bike shop advised me to stay clear of the Campy mid-range and suggested that the Shimano was a far superior Group San. So, I consider the crime to be that Campy allowed their mid range groupo to be outdone by Shimano.

I’m a recent (downhill) mountain biker. Have taken to it like a duck to water. It’s such a great summer bookend to fairly extreme downhill skiing. My first love. With that said there is little elegance to great downhill bikes. Those steel road bikes ooze beauty and elegance. Thank you for this vid.

@ianlaker9161 5 лет назад

I have a beautiful red aluminum framed Casati bought at Geoffrey Butler in Croydon in 1999 or 2000. These bikes, made in Monza, were imported exclusively by Butlers, so I understand. The only other one I have ever seen was in Northern Italy on the road around Lake Como! Of course Monza is in that general region. I never see them mentioned anywhere so it would be nice to learn more about their heritage. All I know is that mine, with the now discontinued Campagnolo Daytona groupset still feels fabulous on the road. Great vid as always, guys.

Gotta agree with Simon. They may be great bikes with a great tradition, but unfortunately the brand has been overrun and ruined by posers and jerks. Ducati has a similar problem. I wouldn't mind having a Cinelli, but I would have to cover all the badges with tape or something.
