Whilst on a recent trip to Japan, Jon was lucky enough to take a look around a bike shop he's known about for a long time - Corsa Corsa. Jon was in retro bike heaven and certainly had a great time - could this be the worlds best bike shop?

@Century_Rider 5 лет назад

The artwork is unbelievable. A Cinelli Laser road bike? A Bianchi Centenario? That is kinetic art. Jon was in awe and so was I. The bikes in the background were classic. A Colnago Arabesque! I want to go there just to look at them! Those bikes had soul. Yes, the latest carbon fibre tech is lightweight and attractive in it's own way, but it has nothing on the beauty of those bikes. Polished metal drivetrains have given way to black. Vibrant colors to accent paint. Chrome to carbon weave. Shaped tubing at one time was rare, now it's common. Time moves on, but beauty is timeless. Thank you for making this video!

@JonCannings 5 лет назад

Bicycles are one of the greatest inventions in the history of humankind: It's a means of transport, fitness equipment, time machine and antidepressant , all in one beautiful package, because my bicycle takes me from a to b while improving my fitness and health, making me feel like I'm 13 again and filling my heart with joy, I don't remember ever being on my bike and not feeling happy.

@jimmiet2224 5 лет назад

This video takes me back. I was fortunate enough to own Rossin, Basso, and De Rosa frames always equipped with Campagnolo Super Record. Owned 'em, rode 'em, LOVED 'em. My last Italian Campy bike was the De Rosa and my gruppo options were Shimano or Campy. It was 1985. I put Campy on it so the heritage was dignified and never looked back. I loved those bikes and have always felt some soul was forever lost when index shifting and the latest of the latest became the standard approach. My Serrota carbon/titanium Ottrott is wonderful but it lacks that elan those old Italian rigs just oozed. Sigh.....

That was the bike that started what still goes on for me today: My love of all things Italian related to two-wheels (en la cucina). Thanks for the video, Jon.
