Which Italian road bikes do you dream about?

As an Italian, those one actually made in Italy, like 3T, not those one made in others factory and rebranded like Bianchi and Pinarello

@Ridewithjst 3 ай бұрын

I have a Dogma F. I was hesitant to buy an all-purpose race bike since I ride on bad tarmac often (and obviously because it’s silly expensive). Riding on 28mm Conti’s (on Princeton Carbon Works 6560 strada wheels), it rides like an absolute dream. Potholes? No problem. Cobbles? No problem. Corners like it’s on rails, and while I might not descend like Pidcock in the TdF, I’ve beat a lot of strava downhill PR’s. That said, the steel Willier is absolutely gorgeous and is probably the only production non-carbon bike I would consider buying….but I’m a heretic and I’m not putting Campag anything on it. Maybe Bora wheels, but Shimano group set for sure. Sorry not sorry. 😂

considering one can get a small car for the price of let`s say -- the Colnago -- these prices of bikes today are just ridiculous !!!! Absolutely insane -- I would never ever spend anything near this much money, even if I had it ! Even 5000 is insanely much for a bike !!!

Great video and presentation but boy do I really hate all the BS "aero savings" numbers quoted by bike manufacturers.

@eto2352 3 ай бұрын

You should have featured Basso. Bianchi completely lost its way. The Specialissma is hideous, overwrought and generic all at the same time. The color is completely uninspired. Wilier and others seem to capture Italian mystique, history and innovation in a way the Bianchi does not.

@NordicUrs 3 ай бұрын

Just like a BMW manufactured in South Carolina is not a real BMW, an Italian bike manufactured in Taiwan or China (like Pinarello, Bianchi, Wiklier, Cipolini) is not truly Italian. At least Basso is manufactured in Italy, thus it is truly a real Italian bike.

Italian dreambikes? Where is the Sarto Rasa, Battaglin Portofino R, Passion XXTi Disc, Stelbel Nina? Those are dreambikes. The ones in this video are a bit ordinary and boring compared to those. Exept for that Wilier Superleggera, that is gorgeous.

It's a missed opportunity not to showcase Basso's brilliance. Bianchi seems to have veered off course completely. The Specialissma, in particular, is a jumble of unimpressive design, appearing both overdone and lacking in character simultaneously. The color choice is utterly uninspiring. Other brands like Wilier effortlessly capture the essence of Italian mystique, history, and innovation-a feat that Bianchi falls short of achieving.

C series Colnago bikes are not sexy anymore because nobody races them. They are a Gucci handbag now (no offense to Gucci). I would still love a Colnago Master. The V4R is made in Taiwan. I would also add a Cinelli stainless steel frame. De Rosa for sure.
