Do Super-Expensive Superbikes Have A Place In Cycling? | GCN Show Ep. 485

Clock00:00, Tuesday 26th April 2022

How much would you pay for a bike? €200? €2,000? €20,000?! Well, that’s what you’ll have to fork out for the new Colnago C68 or BMC Masterpiece, two of the priciest production bikes ever made. This got us thinking, is the luxury bike market a good or bad thing and do these super-expensive superbikes have a place in cycling? Dan and Si discuss on this week’s GCN Show.

If you have any information about the missing tandem, please contact the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department on 573-426-3860, or use the anonymous tip line 573-426-2936.

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!

Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
