What do you think of the prices of these bikes? 💸
dem bike mans dem does be filming a TdF descent at the same speed the guy riding at! But they're on a 2000lb monster with another dude in back!
Great video….. soooo much info 🤯🤯 thought you’d mention about WVA double disc wheel TT Bike🤔🤔 ALSO is it fair to say TRACK bikes are faster than TT bikes?? I would love to see them against each other indoors AND outdoors maybe with same rider too 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I've got a discount code for £10 off the Japanese bike if anyone wants it.
Too bad for the poorer countries. Be like sailing and have all the same bikes…
The Creative streak of the 40 and under generation! Beauty and function still elusive unfortunately. Worth?
haha happens the same with pina, sworks, canyon, and all these commercial bikes, they just want to be highly exclusive so put this ridiculous prices, but people buy them so what can you do.
The fact that you can get a sports car with so much complexity, thousands of moving parts and that goes 200 mph for the same price as these bike…. Like, how were they enigeered? Did they take notes on gold tablets that they then threw away?
When they say "it't been tweeked for Paris" and I am immidiately imagine a special baguette cage.
There is NO way that the normal track rider could possibly get most of these bikes.
For the watchers, could we have longer more zoomed in photos and in the case of the german team we didn't even get a photo!
If you don't think wider tires are fast, have you even seen a motorcycle?!
The design/tooling/molds/construction labor on these frames is probably so much that they are losing money selling them at 100k since only a tiny amount of people are even in the market for a track bike like this.
With regards to the TRC 10, i'm totally gutted for Victor Bosoni who had to return from the lead to pick up his passport he forgot……….one to watch for next year i think.
"Field of Beef" – Thanks for naming my band.
Complete road bike builds between $10,000 – $15,000 doesnt sound so bad after all.
28:02 Cav's shoes should be illegal since they are not commercially available.
32:39 Sweet! My comment was featured! ❤ GCN!!
left-side drive-train isn't about aero, it's about pushing the center of gravity of the bike further toward the black line and shortening the overall distance travelled by the rider; namaste
So much for a level playing field for ALL of the Olympic level cyclists. Sailing went through this years ago, and they now have one design boats, and every sailor gets a standard boat and equipment, often a whole fleet of boats are supplied, all identical. This money spiral is madness…
Like the Hair cut Connor!
The bike industry is still a total Rip-off. Not one of these bikes is worth the money they ask for .
Y'all should have started in your own backyard. The Dolan DF5 is the absolute cheapest track bike of them all. 4,700 pounds for a complete bike including wheels.
What about Koga ? They are sponsoring the individual men's sprint world champion after all
Looks like a brilliant day out, keeping your powder dry at the beginning pays at the end.
Are any people actually buying these buys by paying the full prices?
Since when does Toray make bikes?
Put the onboard camera in the bike computer. Ain't rocket science. The only real issues are (1) if you want real time footage there would have to be a suitably high data rate radio with antenna to broadcast the signal back to something en route and (2) battery life. Camera's, additional storage, radio/antenna take power. You could always mandate the "underseat transponder" to have a camera and transmit video using an updated radio but again – battery life and suitable data transmission rate. If you wanted front views then there's have to be a way to fasten it in an aero way to the front of the bike.
I don't think that anyone is angry about these prices, simply because no one needs such bike in their daily ride.
The problem of having to have your bikes made available to the public and not a one of commission to each country federation.
No bike is worth that much money.
you guys now using a green screen this video background looks odd!
A field of beef, or otherwise known as Si's nightmare
The Van Nicholas is what many bikes aspire to be. It's bloody gorgeous. I would ride a lot more if I had one. Titanium bikes are the shite.
Some people race and some people challenge themselves when doing ultra races. So they bring different stuff.
Maybe the bike brand is called "packets of beef."
re: using power data. Riders to be "forced" to use power pedals/cranks that have been tested and accredited by the UCI AND a rear-hub power-meter as standard. Data from both is confidential to the team and the UCI/race organisers. Much like e-racing two power meters to make sure there is no fiddling of power outputs (and proof of NO motor doping). As for Pogi's power – I think that UAE use Shimano? and let's consider that the Shimano crank based power meters have not exactly had great reviews. . . . so who's to say the so called outputs are actually legit or comparatively quantifiable in any case… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't burst our non doping hopes and dreams watching these amazing human-beings at the top level… 🤞
Al those crazy amounts, the Netherlands team has a koga frame set, that retails at 9,499 i ques that's a company of enthousiast that want more of their bikes out on track.
To much bla bla talk no much bikes are showing
Oh dear, how sick were you feeling the end of that show, Conan? Hope you're better!
41:26 Got my bike on Bike Vault! Really chuffed, did it on a whim as, even though I was completely lost, had an amazing view down the valley, so got the bike propped up and took a pic.
