i probably would die in the first corner and end up on pinkbike's friday fails
You and me both! - Matt
So we've all finally accepted that gravel bikes are just 90s mountain bikes, and we're giving them 90s paint jobs now?
😂 well I never had bars like that on my '90s MTB, even though they were a lot narrower than modern day bars!
Yup. But it's so cool now. You know, super cool.
Yeah. Triple chainrings, 26" wheels, flat 630mm bars, suspension forks. 🫥
Ein Gravel Bike ist wirklich kein 90er Jahre MTB. Fahr mal mit dem Gravel. Es ist einfach super schnell und man kann trotzdem auch mal schlechte Wege fahren. Das hat mit dem langsamen MTB nichts zu tun. Eher ein Rennrad endlich mit Komfort.
@@boNOOBodI count that as a proper mountain bike, I just view larger wheels as fake mountain bike but also only hate I got for build I'm doing is 1x (I prefer 2-3 chainrings)
My god that looks uncomfortable 😳
Love the paint job. Don't really get the super narrow bars on an off road machine though. 😮
When we spoke to Rane, he did say he changes the bars depending on the event he's riding. Super narrow on flatter courses and wider on rolling/more technical
Sweet ride man, love it! !!🤙🤙
This thing is RAD!
What in the name of all that is holy 😂
Love it!!
Eechy and Scratchy Design 😂❤
Not to your taste? 😅
looks awful...
Looks like a TT bike from a far. Awesome paintjobs too!
Given that he will be on some interesting gravel this may be a handful. However, I love the retro paint job and what he did to the bike.
I'd rather have narrow straight handlebar + aerobar...
...Kill... me...
I'm affraid of the narrow bars.
Extreeeeeemeeeeee❤
Those riding positions would ruin my already ruined neck. I like the bike, but I'd go with a shorter stem and wider bars.
I'd definitely ride such a bike : this is very close to my perfect gravel bike!
we all have that one friend
I love it except for the bars.
Awesome
That’s wild
Not sure I'd ride it, but I have to give the man credit for thinking outside of the box, not lastly for the unholy bastard child of drop bars and aero bars.
Not the kind of riding I do(looks painful) but super-duper cool and creative. A LOT of thought. Luv it!
That position. Ouch
When you're bored and have money
Got to see it at Locos, wild
This is awesome!
Yeah, that's too much for me. The bars being so far out would but all the strain on my hips and knees and that paint job is way to Skittles for me. Sick bike though!
A.k.a. _"EXPENSIVE TOY"_
This should not be ridden in a bunch
What kind of handlebar is that?
Would love to ride this trippy gravel. Red tires would be rockin'. Wicked crazy ride.🤪 Got water?💦Those handlebars, wild paint job.🎨 Love it!! 💘 🔥💕😀⚡🚲
…love go out 🚲💨❤️🔥
UCI: 🗿🗿🗿
How did Unbound go?
난 체인링크 하나만 있어도 충분한 기어비 구성이 되고 심플하니 앞변속기 사용할 필요없는 군더더기 없는 좋은 조합인지 몰랐다...
그저 다단화 크랭크가 여러모로 좋은 것으로만 착각을 하고 있었다...
Lovely
It looks weird now, but I also see the aero gains, which I imagine matter quite a lot in a race setting.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I seriously doubt how you will handle trickier gravel sections with such a narrow handlebar. Why not just add an aerobar on top? You will lose more time on technical sections with those bars then you will gain from the weightreduction of the aerobars.
Great range of gearing for a 1x but will be tricky finding the right cadence
You ride it if you want to die. Better Pre run the course and make sure there isn’t any fast single track or anything technical at all, like a turn. Add a group to that and if you don’t die you’ll ruin someone else’s career. Hopefully it’s not a bunch sprint finish.
This is what really attracted me to the unbound ride, you didn't really know what bike to ride so you just jumbled together some parts and see what worked. This is a winner
Some stills, please!
This act is super dangerous. slight miscalculation of height could result in serious injury or decapitation. Don't attempt it at home.
If you ever want to pretend you’re Hiccup doing stunts with Toothless, this is the bike for you.
65 km Is a lie
The only way to make this bike more gravel would be to put micro brewery IPA in the bidons.
All i see is a 90s mtb with modern tech
50c tires?
Looks awful because of the handlebar set-up
Paint job can be nice but even in this vid you van spot so many imperfections.....
Florida man builds bike...
Ohhh noòo😂
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Hell no! It doesn't even have a proper front fork. Who wants to attach a wheel to a butter knife
Ever since I got a lefty I feel like I lost my mind😂 everytime I ride it I feel like I have so much control over the bike
65km/h is an exaggeration, but somewhere around 40/42km/h I would think that bike can get up to.
Why have I yet to see any race footage? Means nothing.
What bike it is? I want to know the name. What's the price for the same bike? Thanks for letting me know. ✨
Do a screen shot and Google search it.
The bike to develop spine problems.
It's probably terrible to descend
what is thr name
Wouldn't surprise me if they tell him he can't race like this after their aerobar ban
I woulda done that paint job for $5
My lowest gear ratio on my eighteen speed mountain bike is one to one. The smallest cog up front and the biggest one in back each have 28 teeth. The bottom gear is plenty for climbing hills. I don't see the point in having such a high number in back.
Why is he on a smaller size? I know the topstone in size xl is huge so he wouldn’t that crazy long stem. Why is he on a large of even a medium size bike? I would be scared racing that long stem.
I love it! I hope they let him race it.
Gravel bikes never made sense to me but this does
Ghey 😂
As a fixed gear rider, I _need_ those bars
They are custom bars. You can own them if you are willing to cut some alloy bars and weld them narrower😂
I hate that fruity paint job. Hate the bars as well 💩
nah 😂
I used to run “aero or die” bars kinda like that, they were great. People were always worried for my on twisty TTs but they were no problem at all. Just had to take care where ya train on em!
This is cool, but also an abomination 😂
Gravel is about exploring and being adventurous. If you’re this much into being aero and fast, try road cycling.
Isn't there room for both?
Gravel gets you less likely turned into roadkill.
If you're this much into being a snob, you really should think about road bikes😂😂
@@bikeradarnot enough leverage for climbing and powering through mud.
Water bottle bike
Maybe I’m narrow minded but those bars are kinda retar…..ed
how the heck is there a rear derailleur for a 50T
Don't understand, it's for climbs hills...
At that point you might as well walk @@SolarizeYourLife
Absolutely disgusting
Dumb… bikes like this wreck gravel riding.
