Clock00:00, Thursday 25th June 2020

Would you ride the best bike in the world if it looked ugly? This week on the GCN tech show, Manon and Conor discuss whether a bike's aesthetics actually matter or if it's performance that should determine whether you buy a certain bike. We also take a look at some cool new products from the likes of Fizik, Factor, and Trek!
