    I'm interested in how the handle bars differ in the video. Is it easier to start with the side handle bars like the other guy in the video or the down wards ones u have. Does it make a difference or just like your preference. Thanks for good video

    • @LukeMichaelJames
      @LukeMichaelJames 2 дні тому

      This really is part of the comparison for this video. The gravel bike will come with drop bars as standard, where as a mountain bike will have flat bars. You can change them, but drop bars work great for both road riding and gravel or light mtb. If you were to try more steep and technical trails.c you’d want flat bars for sure, and not a gravel bike :)

    Tubercle style! Very interesting, just like the pinarello track bike. These cheaper Chinese wheels are definitely getting closer to the top end ones.

    • @LukeMichaelJames

    First class build and video as always Luke,I love the latest offering from Lightweight the Obermayer EVO's those look absolutely superb.I have just brought the 'Meilenstein EVO Schwarz Edition' wheels to compliment my S-Works SL8......just could'nt quite afford the Obermayer's,lol. Out of interest what is your height?.....I'm interested to what height a Colnago size 455 bike frame is best suited to.

    • @LukeMichaelJames
      @LukeMichaelJames 7 днів тому

      I sadly had my first issue with my Obermayers as they have delaminated after 6 months. Maybe you dodged a bullet there as it's a very expensive problem to have. I'm actually going to run cheaper wheels from now on on all my bikes. It's just too much stress and worry running £8k wheels on anything.

    @joea7339 Місяць тому

    I've always heard about the C Series ride quality and how fantastic it is. My question is, how "fantastic" is it on CRAP beat up roads like we have here in Southern California? I currently have a '23 Cervelo S5 Dura Ace and the bike is cool and FAST, but on my streets, she's a HARSH Mistress for sure. I've been thinking about doing a C68 build and there are a few of the HRBK (your same color) colorways still available, which I really like. Any feedback on the ride quality on ROUGH ROADS would be greatly appreciated. Great video btw!

    • @LukeMichaelJames
      @LukeMichaelJames 7 днів тому

      It's definitely forgivving. I think on rough roads, any carbon bike will feel rougher in the ride quality, but it's definitely more gentle than my dogma. I haven't ridden an S5 to compare sadly, but it's quite forgiving.

      Groupset choice is subjective, however i've ridden all 3 brands top group set and campy is by far the worst, and most expensive. There's a reason no pro team uses Campy in 2024. It just isn't up to the same level at the moment. Hopefully they come back though.
