Why does Jimmi look like he is gonna rob the Mccallisters?

thats “was” my built bike SWORKS VENGE, previously sagan paint, repainted by a professional, logo was oddly finished, 😂😂😂, thanks for the feature though! 😂😂😂

7:57 NOW I CANT UNSEE THAT

4:44 "No one ever suspects a cyclist with drugs" Apparently, Francis never heard of a certain guy from Texas, who has 7 look-a-like yellow jerseys!

Yesss more of this series pls!

Doesn't S-Works venge come with only S-Works logo on the downtube? Also, S-Works as far as I remember comes with Dura-Ace which only came with hydraulic brakes already! That bike is suspect!

The thing on the Elves that bugged me was that he didn't have the tyre logo's lined up with the valves. Absolutely criminal!!! 😀

why do you guys not like planet x? I've had a planet x titanium fram for seven years, the geometery of which was actually designed by Mark Reilly of Reilly works and the frame comes from the Walty factory in China. It's been a great light bike

I liked the ELVES. Congratulations to all bikers owners, I am pretty sure they love their bikes, no matter what others say. Happy riding!

hey, dunno if someone already pointed out, but you can buy flush topcap for Canondale headset - part number is KP253, i think it's for 15eur or something like that

Curve Belgie is a bit on the generic side. Their road and gravel bikes are. But their GMX+ 29er drop bar bike is very cool

These 2 are great ❤ keep doing what your doing 👍

i'd be curious to hear what y'all think of the rene herse **extralight casing** tires. currently running RH 700x44 extralights which in my experience are supremely plush and rapid.

I did that race against Jonathan’s single speed slate. Didn’t realize there was a single speed in the bunch. That’s nuts!

As owner of the Super X, I agree colourway is RUBBISH, very happy for you guys to sand it back if you want more practice? It's needed an annual headset bearing replacement as the "cone" still lets lots of crap into bearing (thanks Cannondale). But it does ride fantastically and you don't have to look at the silly paint while pedalling it!

I bikepacked the Colorado Trail Race on a Single Speed. Ssp is great for out of the saddle climbing, maybe no the best choice when carrying 35lbs of camping & cooking gear though.

Guys tell me if should buy ultegra di2 or 105di2. Cant decide which to put on my Stevens izoard pro disc. Is it worth the extra money?

The anodizing on titanium can be done quite good so it doesn't come off. I have the Controltech Timania stem and dropbars and I've tried to remove the color with a dish scratch pad and it won't come off. I gave up and left it.

Some shops in my country offering sworks OEM but you can clearly see the difference in the mold 😂

that s-works does at the min look repainted with a replacement sticker. the hyphen looks a little off, head and tail ends of the 'S's look the tiniest bit too thick, something looks off on the 'R' and 'K' also don't the forks just have an S logo?

A solid 4.0 for a S-Works with mech disc brakes. A 3T frame with an issue of losing thru-axles while riding. Can it get any better? 😍

Elves uses names from the universe of The Lord of The Rings: Vanyar, Falath... Orome is one of the Valar (demigods) in that universe, so I'd guess it's the inhouse wheel brand of Elves haha

Loved this!

Do people not line their tyre logos to valve anymore?I always make sure that they line up

4:45 Yes indeed, a friend can cofirm

Check out Agave Finish Works, Firefly Bicycles, and No.22 Bikes for some 🔥 titanium

The elves rider is probably not that small, the top tube is just REALLY high. Top tube is at the same height as the bars (normally it's at least a couple centimeters below the stem) and the top tube is nearly straight. Seatpost to bar drop doesn't seem that big, but I think because of the heigh top tube it looks small. Stack/reach is probably quite reasonable!

STATE - single speed with chain tensioner JUST WORKS. Ride it till the chain snaps or forever, whichever's first

That State Alu singlespeed needs a Classified Shifting

4:44 Ferb, I know what we're doing today!

That "5-Works" was interesting lol

Doesn't the person with the Slate need the chain tesnsioner because of the oval chainring or is it just my eyes/an optical illusion?

Ahhhhh, Nooooo!... I have a Curve Titanium Belgie Spirit (Curve is an Australian company).... It is a dream to ride and I wouldn't swap it for the world .... brilliantly comfortable. My rating 10/10 .. 😁

To re-anodise titanium or any metal you don’t have to sand it but there is an acid to clean it.

The paint on the SuperX is supposed to look digital like digital camo they use in the military.

I've got a 2016 SuperX, and I had Cane Creek build me a custom headset. No silly top cap.

On drugs… “nobody suspects a cyclist, do they”. 1990’s Trek US Postal team enters the chat 😅

Not true, you can find 0.5 mm cap for the front fork for Cannondale! I have it on the systemsix and the supersix

i bought a single speed mtb. its so much fun it makes me want to go bikepacking. ill have to do it by myself as none of my bikepacking friends will let me use it lol

I thought Curve was an Aussie brand? I've seen their wild and wide Walmer bars for gravel, which is 600mm wide.

Johnathon here. The State Thunderbird was originally sold as a Single Speed.

Canecreek slamset is the headset discussed

Frame manufacturers need to talk to firearms coating manufacturers; cerokote, Diamond Like Coating/DLC, TiNi Carbide, etc. all phenomenal in their respective ways and durability that lasts from high wear to extreme environments!

I wish you could roast my bike setup. I just need to get a bike first hahaha.

14:30 I'm pretty sure 'curve' is an Australian brand rather than a far east brand.

👍Best thing about Titanium is its name

A owl 🦉 😂 phoneshop was jokes tbf a owl 🦉

I think team aquablue sports used 3T with 1x set up before. I think connor of gcn use to ride there.

Love that Jimmy trys to be tactile about Elves branding, while Francis goes for the jugular: Jimmy: "It's not a great looking logo is it..." Francis: "It looks like ovaries"

The BB?? Theee BB?!? cracked me but from what movie is cut out there?? 😂😂

i heard a company making new internals for the old SRAM to convert them to 12s cause they are the lightest lever shifter ever?

“ Looks like ovaries “ can’t unsee it now. 😂

13:00, it has fake mud on there because it looks cool 😂 😭. They do have a model with a straight florusecent yellow paintjob and the Cannondale logo and it looks boring. Boooooo! Jk, I’m just be facetious because I had a SuperX with the faux mud paintjob. I also have a warranty frame with the same design, but different color scheme and the ppl love it. I run mine slammer; I used the top dust cover from a headset reducer kit (1.56 to 1.25) for a headshok frame. Does the job.

Wait how do i submit my bike photo?

if you think titanium looks boring, u should look into firefly cycles

That Hunt with its goofy wrong-way-round tensioner looks weird... A double pulley tensioner looks and works better for what he wants to do. Otherwise that bike is awesome - been wanting to do a build like this for years.

8:33 After that explanation I'm having flashbacks of all the times I was rejected by a girl.

I bought a Falath Evo out of curiosity and I find myself riding it more often than any other bike in my garage and that saddle isnt the Elves inhouse 3D printed saddle let alone being 3D printed at all, bro got scammed. Regarding the seatpost height, I got a bike fit done and my recomended top tube length for is 545mm with a 100mm stem and 714mm saddle height which for Elves is a 54cm frame. For anyone looking to buy an Elves, down size. My I bought a 52cm (535mm toptube with a 110mm stem and 10mm spacer) and my correct saddle height has the seat post on its end range of being in the frame at the "10" marker. 10 being lowest - 1 being highest. The tup tube does sit higher than "normal" because of the intergrated stem.

So are all the titanium bikes going to look exactly the same always?

How has Jimmi never heard of TPU in all these years of cycling?? 😅

The font on the Curve frame is the same as Marin.

The elves seat post looks low because of the crazy high top tube

The only thing Americans get right it how to pronounce aluminium! It's us in UK who say it wrong lol

Oh no! I'm fully committed to a Ti bike being built soon. I thought it would be a bit special, but it might just be boring 😢

An S-Works with cable disc brakes?

Oof - lean pickings on the bike front… FYI Curve bikes are made in Melbourne…

Innsbruck❤

I don't support the pricihng of OSPW. I don't care about watt benefits as per OSPW. But FCUK, they sure LOOK SEXY!

1x in Austria? Does he jut ride on the valley floors?

Falath means Fallopian in the brands home country..

I echo Jimmy's opinion about titanium bikes: They all look the same, like literally. Because there's no coloring. If I want metal, I use steel or aluminium. It's way cheaper and you can get an actual cool paintjob. Corrosion is not really a huge concern if a steel frame is coated internally and if you look after it once in a while. If weight is that much of an issue, I wouldn't really go metal in the first place. But even steel bikes can be brought close to the UCI weight limit. So for me, there's really no obvious argument for titanium. It's just expensive and seems to have an aura of exclusivity that some people seem to go for.

Not me sending in my ride yesterday evening haha, will have to hope for it to be in the next episode!

That ultegra group set looks suspect, it looks to black, rather than gray, it might be just the photo

What does Francis have against Planet X????

The only one I like is the State.

Elves logo looks like a "Arschgeweih" tatoo 😂😂

Jon Athon’s bike had to have a chain tensioner, he’s running an oval chainring.

I’m convinced Jimmi hates bikes, cyclists and all things cycling. The negativity is exhausting 😂

Hunt Wheel, big thumbs down from me after one failed on me big time 40 miles from home when 4 spokes gave out. I re-spoked the wheel with stronger spokes and the wheel failed again. I will never touch another Hunt product.

SRAM double tap was the worst thing to happen to road bikes.

When your friend buys a Specialized frame on Ali Baba and tries to convince you its real 😂😂😂😂😂

Jimmi if you really wanna see ti bikes that look super unique, look no further than Mosaic.

I ride 60 mm deep wheels on the road, but I'm a mountain biker first so I can handle the bike 😂.

Single Speed Rules!

I went to Innsbruk and came back with a 40th Anniversary Gios!!!!😂

Love this video. More of the same please.

Says riley makes different ti bikes. Picture shows a bike that looks almost identical to the viewers bike😅😂

Jimmi, thank you for admitting Brits pronounce a phantom syllable in "aluminum".

Francis- why don’t you like planetx?

Boooys, Curve are Australian and the kings of endurance and adventure bikes….. just saying 🇦🇺

I thought Curve was an Australian brand

Jimmy really doesn't know what TPU tubes are? 🤨

I love my titanium bike because it looks boring.

Some of these bikes are F'UGLY! The State bicycle single-speed is all right tho. I hate to trash on the CURVE (I own a steel frame from them), but it's a tad sterile, and the HUNT wheels look out of place. The cage and bottle are MAD, tho.

Sad to think that this channel is fast becoming a 'GCN Bike Vault' imitator.

Uh 4000 meters and 4000 feet are very different.

Too GCN

this should be the whole channel

Cannondale always overdo it. Silly ideas and in this case silly paint job

Logos suck and I get branding but I’m not impressed with $$$$ and not having a nice paint job. Either pay me for advertising or drop the price. Or keep the price level and give us frkn nice paint job.
