I'm an auld fart from Scotland (60), iv''e got an old Willier, it's alluminium and carbon fibre rear triangle and forks, it is old mechanical 10 speed Campag, it goes like a stabbed rat, went out the other day, pissin rain, freezing, 86 mph wind, got blew off twice, got home soaking, freezing and covered in mud, the joys of a cyclist, I will keep going until my old knees fall off, love your channel man, keep it going. take care.

Wilier la triestina competizione 00. Fast, responsive, a little harsh up front but soaks up bumps like it has suspensions on the rear.

Great video. You capture the essence of why cycling is so fun. It’s not about being the fastest all the time, or having “aero” bikes. So refreshing that you did not say that word once.

Absolutely! Thanks 🙏🏽

Mmmm, that is one fine looking bike. In a perfect world I'd build one up in "analog" fashion w/ nice mechanical shifting + those fancy Japanese Growtac Equal brakes.

Analog do last forever that can be passed on to the next generation.

You should 'break a rule' in each episode. Ankle socks. Sunglasses under the strap. Last years kit. People will go mental in the comments. Good for the algorithm 😊👍

@danielakerman8241 3 ай бұрын

I ALWAYS do sunglasses under the strap because I usually want to remove my helmet before I feel the need to remove my shades, and I absolutely hate knocking my shades off my face when I do so.

@4:07 you can see that your hip is moving quite a lot. you might want to try and lower your saddle by 1-2 cm to be more stable/get rid of any back pain if any.

@bobzuidema3560 3 ай бұрын

In that colour scheme it looks like €4500,- bike, it looks so nice. I really love the traditional double diamond shape of the frame, never been a fan of lowered seat stays.

@maxrottenkolber4439 3 ай бұрын

Hey hey, could you let us know what wheels/tires are you actually running? I'm considering this frame as well but where I live the bike trail network can get... adventurous. So it'd be interesting to know if this frame can fit larger tires than the advertised 28mm?

In the same boat, 5’8” here and about to pull the trigger on a sl7 Émonda planning size 54. Was confused with you riding a 52 but as you say maybe a bit small but if it works for you, good on you.
