What do you think about Bennett's Van Rysel? 😍
wassup with that intro music lol
I remember the times when decathlon sold like only cheap stuff. Now they sell bikes that are ridden on a competitive level at the tour the France
Thought everyone who has hood buttons used them to scroll through their computer 🤷♂️
Hub sounds identical to my DT SWISS 180 rear
it actually looks pretty good
7:04 – 7:07
no. he have right brake setup. only you, who live in island do everything opposite. And I'll mention only driving 🙂
Pretty sure those are DT Swiss tubeless valves.
love it …don’t need to put 15k in a bike. The end of this total nonsense. 15k you can buy a V2 ducati. The End of the pigeons era…..others pro team have approached them but they declined and they have new bikes coming soon including a more areo tested at the TDF in his year.
Why is his saddle pointing downwards? Or is it the camera angle?
I hope this bike wins a least 1 stage at the tdf.
Crank arm at 10 to 3, and pedal not level.
Just a "nice" from me.
Right rear ofc
Very cool, but I still have an issue with the "Swiss Side" brand name…
It 's great but what we REALLY want to know about is Sam's FCR.
Very small for his height.
Cervelo, Pinarello, Colnago, Van Rysel, and many others frames are all made in Taiwan or China at the Carbotech Factory.
Every Frame With the Tyre Cut out on Seat Tube Stay is a Carbotech mould Frame using t1100 carbon.
Paint & Parts are Fitted to Bikes in there Respected countries, which gives them the right to say built in Italy, France, UK as final assembly (Branded Stickers & Components ) was fitted in that country
The music in this made me think my phone was ringing/my alarm was going off lol
