"Astana's heavy bike is really slowing him down with a minute wide gap between him and Ollie! Still, could be worse." _Cuts to Ollie at a traffic light_

@jasonschneider452 Год назад

My first road bike is a Eurobike. It is crazy heavy, but it will make some good riding legs after riding it a few times. Yes, it has several pitfalls, but for a newbie with a very tight budget, it isn't bad for a new road bike. However, I wouldn't recommend getting too chummy with it for long if a person wants to get serious later. A few issues with it is the quality of the derailleur and the size of the chain ring. The derailleur will junk up after some time of serious rides. Also, the chain ring is a bit smaller than that of a typical road bike, possibly because the parts seem to be a mix from something that resemble various types of bikes. A positive aspect to the Eurobike is that the frame can stand a beating for how heavy this tank on two wheels is. I don't ride mine any longer except for when I am screwing around. Note: if a person is just learning how to use clips, this is the bike to do it with because a person new to clips will fall, dropping the bike a few times along with banging up the knees.

@SidAuteur Год назад

I love GCN. But I learned more from these when they used to compare super bikes with mid-range bikes. Reasonably priced bikes by Specialist, Trek or others would do far better in these comparisons and provide more meaningful information. Methinks the makers of $10K bikes might be afraid of this. And no one looks at a $10K bike and then says "that's too much, I'm going for the $200 bike.!" But, it was entertaining! And Ollie, you look positively sickly, gaunt and under nourished. Keep up the good work!

@a1white Год назад

This is definitely the case. When you get above a certain price point the gains are much more marginal. It’s like difference between Tourney and 105 is much bigger than between 105 and Dura-ace. But then this is the same in all sports, the top end components are cutting edge state of the art so would have to be expensive with the research and development that go into it. Unless you race at pro level you don’t really need it though.

Cycling what sorry? ... Never heard of it 😂

@alexjohnson6462 Год назад

You can try to memory-hole Cycling Weekly, but you can never erase Ollies Project 49 legacy. That was probably the finest bit of riding he has ever done (or anyone at GCN, even in their pro days for that matter). What I can't figure out is if he was able to go over 30mph for almost 50 minutes in Project 49, how come he could not achieve his Hour Record goal. Even though its an extra 10 minutes of riding, he should have been able to get closer to it than he did.

I keep my exact stem length of 120 mm, handle bars 44 cm width and the saddle of choice is the Fizik Arione or it’s similar models.
