I do love those handlebars they look great. Just wondering with these having hoods you should test on the velodrome which is quicker hoods or drops? As everyone says on the hoods is quicker now
@@SammyAme the aero part has been said in at least one GCN vid. i think it's the one about aero on a budget featuring Ollie. as for the second one, that's also true for descending. the drops just give you a more secure grip on the bars when you're really pulling on it when sprinting, or when you're trying to brake on the descents. that's why you see pros still using the drops on really fast and technical descents, and sprinters like Cavendish using it when sprinting really hard.
I reckon drops are faster. On a straight and fairly level stretch of road, with forest each side, so not subject to much wind, I see that my speed picks up when I switch to the drops. (On the hoods, I ride with level forearms.) Admittedly this could be partly psychological, that is, if I speed up because I believe I will.
See what a silver crank does for the looks of a bike. I keep saying group manufacturers need to have a silver offering. I was really hoping for Shimano to do it when they introduced the new 9200 because the 9000 was so popular. That crank on that all black bike is bling 100%.
She is very informative, funny and I love the double tunnel vision look a like of her.....lol The bike looks like from Mars, expensive and a dream bike.... Thank you
Were it not for GCN coverage of track events I would have absolutely no clue as to what madison means in reference to those cool handlebars. Thanks guys!
there are a few choices for ITA type track crank. i think she wanted to use more lightweight track crank, but there would be no choices due to pinarello`s bottom bracket type.
@@luukrutten1295 Is that how saddle height is usually measured on track bikes? This is interesting because on the featured pro bikes it is usually measured from the center of the BB.
this bike is 100% #pooshka - love it! p.s. GCN: for these videos would be nice to have numbers on the screen, not everyone who's watching is audial person
@NonCoinCollector That's just a typical sound for track bikes running 1/8th chains. Mine is louder than Manon's and sounds like a garden trimmer on a quiet indoor track. I think it might be the carbon frame with huge tubing profiles and carbon wheels all acting like a sound board.
That is one of the best looking bikes I have ever seen in my entire life, I would switch from road to track just to have an excuse to buy one, hell I would even convert it to a road race bike myself
Super-nice. Well, it would have been if you'd had the valves lined up! 😉 To my eyes (and, yes, I may be a bit of a roadie), those bars look so odd with no brakes or gear shifters. But I can see how much Manon loves them, so they must be good. Those tyres must be rock-hard at 180 to 200 psi. I assume you'd use an air compressor to get those pressures, because I struggle to get my tyres up to 110 psi with a track pump, and those have nearly twice the pressure in there!
High pressure track pumps must be designed slightly different (correct me if I'm wrong) but I don't seem to have issues pumping mine up to 180. Rock hard tyres on the boards are sublime as indoor tracks are super smooth and super fast!
Do you use a computer on the velodrome? I'm interested in how you measure the power from the powertap pedals as you don't see many track riders with a computer. Thanks 🙏.
@@marianneoelund2940 No. you can change rear cog or front chainring without splitting the chain. It’s just a quicker and easier way to split chains as sometimes events call for higher top speeds with big chainrings that need longer chains.
@@TheAlbatorssx i had a feeling, i got an Affinity Kissena i've been riding for about 2 years now. Hope to fly up to NYC next summer and take her to the velodrome
A very nice looking bike, however it narrowly misses out on a super-nice because some areas of it appeared to have been ridden through a muddy field. 😛
Yes, the chain must be broken any time the rear wheel is removed for a cog change (note the dropouts open to the rear), so they need a way to break/join the chain many times without wearing out. Cogs may be changed several times per day.
Well, I hope whoever did was shot on the spot! Although, I'd believe there may be someone with to much money and too few brain cells to realise what a sin it would be.
Chain needs to be tight enough, that there is zero possibility for it to derail (run off of the chain ring or cog) under any conditions. If that were to happen at speed, it would be catastrophic.
From what i've been told, NJS chains all make that loud sound. My boy has an Izumi Super Toughness on his track bike and i always joke with him about how gritty his chain sounds.
Wheelies? Yes, it's a great bike for wheelies - if you can get the front wheel up in the first place. Maybe that's an idea for a new kind of track event? It would certainly be entertaining for the spectators.
@UCQVYPKTpSWtWYuGo9pa3dGA Sometimes that happens unintentionally. I saw a frightening video of a Ferrari owner losing control of his car, only minutes after driving it off the dealer's lot. He got a little too heavy on the accelerator and it started fishtailing until it encountered a parked car.

That's a nice bike but we need more videos of it going fast around a track, Manon needs to put it through its paces now
Love the track and track gear content. Hope to see more of it.
Track bikes rule! Thank you for giving them more attention since Manon joined the team.
It’s a beautiful machine. Also this bike is permanently in Biggie Smalls.

You try lining up the cranks and the valve on the back wheel😂😂

Sick bike Manon, happy riding
I do love those handlebars they look great. Just wondering with these having hoods you should test on the velodrome which is quicker hoods or drops? As everyone says on the hoods is quicker now
on the hoods with bent elbows is more aero than drops ive seen somewhere. but drops is more stable specially when sprinting i feel like

On the hoods is supposed to be better for breathing.
sound check was excellent. I always love the sound of the chain links going over the cogs

Fixed hub sound check! Beautiful bike!

It has all that modern carbon bling, but then the cranks look like something from the '80s. Still awesome.
Its ne0-retr0 man0n styIe!
Yes, I used the exact same cranks on a bike I made in 1997!

Greàt video and that's my favorite sound on a bike,.,.track bike that is 🌀🌀🌀
hey thanks for dropping the comment!
You could say the handle bars are designed to be the MOST comfortable. Wish this was a caption competition. 😁
Love the sound check
Wow! What a cool bike🤩👍
Forget the bike I’m here for Manon !
must been happy when there was 2 Manon on the screen.
A little bit of retro touch with the crankset.. .Nice
Good to see GCN and GCN (Global Cloning Network) doing a crossover video 👍😜
51x14 is a pretty big gear! what a cool bike
Not for me
Damn, she got the pinarello bruh. That matte finish 👀
What a machine. I guess the 85cm saddle height is measured from the floor, not from the BB?
Manon a big giant
From the pedal spindle so its minus 16.5
@@luukrutten1295 Is that how saddle height is usually measured on track bikes? This is interesting because on the featured pro bikes it is usually measured from the center of the BB.
Square bottom bracket on a track bike this radical. Interesting choice
2:46 Are the two presenters related? They do look alike.
What's stopping the frame from being used for tt, tri, road?
bike is gorgeous
Super nice! Other than the dirty bits 😂😂
so lovely! However, I didna get the 'Matte finish' pun. not only are the handlebars ergo, they are lovely~thanks for the vid!
Me neither, maybe her B/F is called Matt🤷🏻♂️
The frame is called ‘maat’
The bike is a Pinarello Maat.
@@lucagray6234 LOL thanks so much! That was gonna bother me ALL day!

3:23 How do you get so much mud on a track bike?!? As for the "freehub" sound-check, sounds pretty agricultural to me.
@NonCoinCollector Disc wheels seem to act a little like a resonator.
@NonCoinCollector That's just a typical sound for track bikes running 1/8th chains. Mine is louder than Manon's and sounds like a garden trimmer on a quiet indoor track. I think it might be the carbon frame with huge tubing profiles and carbon wheels all acting like a sound board.

Whoa. That thing is a work of art.
No question it’s worth more than several cars I’ve had…combined
Those cranks are so pretty
That is one of the best looking bikes I have ever seen in my entire life, I would switch from road to track just to have an excuse to buy one, hell I would even convert it to a road race bike myself
Best hub sounds check ever!
Who makes that bar/stem combo? Never saw them before.
What is the weight of the bike? And what are the tubulars you are using and in which size?
Even looks fast. ❤
really nice bike. once again Manon really is a cool presenter. seems like a nice person.
Super-nice.

at 2:30 there`s deffo a cobweb in the r/track end,,
no flies on that machine hey !
Holy moly 😍
Do you use a computer on the velodrome? I'm interested in how you measure the power from the powertap pedals as you don't see many track riders with a computer. Thanks 🙏.
They all use a computer, mostly hidden under the saddle.
Nice bike!
When will we get to see you riding it?
Beautiful
Manon 😍
just missing a miche pistard air crankset, throwing away some watts manon!
Were you doing cyclo-cross on it given all the mud?
At @2:22, is that a screw holding the chain together? Where the chain meets the crank, it looks like the chain pin has a flathead screwdriver head.
Yes, they need to break/join the chain every time the cog is changed, i.e., several times a day.
@@marianneoelund2940 No. you can change rear cog or front chainring without splitting the chain. It’s just a quicker and easier way to split chains as sometimes events call for higher top speeds with big chainrings that need longer chains.
Very nice bike! At our outdoor track there is a rule that it is not allowed to ride anything but in the drops due to the bumpy nature of the track.
Hopefully they will be able to find the funds to resurface your track, eventually.
@@marianneoelund2940 Thank you. It's an uphill political battle with the City of New York. But we don't give up hope...

Fantastic looking bike Manon!! One of the best out there!! But I just don’t like the crankset….. sorry .. also what is its weight??
Crankset?
Ain’t nothing set about this singular chainring!
You have a good taste for sure!
A very nice looking bike, however it narrowly misses out on a super-nice because some areas of it appeared to have been ridden through a muddy field. 😛
nah, it's a beater. that's the bike that sleep outside.
Greatvideo, love the track content, nasty audio quality though
Nice!!
At least the disk brakes won't ever squeal or drag! What a slick rod. Let's see it go.
Yes, I can't understand why they didn't include some clips of Manon speeding around the track on it.
500th like and one of many more
well-deserved likes to follow!
wait, is there no break system? how you can stop???
What is its overall weight?
Is the screw head showing on the chain the link fastening ?
Yes, that's how NJS chains are linked together. There's a flat head screw on one side that threads into a 6mm nut on the other side.
@@LouieMcFly23 thanks
I'm suspicious regarding how much this bike actually gets used based on the cobwebs in the DS frame dropout at 2:27
FINALLY 😍😍😍
Thanks Manon............lots of tech there !.............Peace
Top tube appears to be slightly sloping so not quite as aero as it could be without the slope.
Dayuuumm Manon is baller af
No lockring?
I wish I had a reason to build up a track bike…N+1 maybe?
Build 0ne just cuz u I0ve them~ I did!
That's a good enough reason lol. Fixed gears are awesome
Love that she didn’t clean it :)
2:46 This is getting out of hand, now there are two of her
How is the chain joined? Looks like a slotted flat head bolt at 2:07
Actually easier to see at 2:25. I guess it makes the gear changes easier?
@@thomaspirnat1889 I'm interested to know what's on the other side of it? A nut or is it threaded link?
Yes, the chain must be broken any time the rear wheel is removed for a cog change (note the dropouts open to the rear), so they need a way to break/join the chain many times without wearing out. Cogs may be changed several times per day.
@@hgihgiu it's a 6mm nut, all NJS track chains have this feature
Dope.
I wish someone would look at me like Manon looked at those bars.
whats up with scew on chain?
Imagine turning up on this to local alleycat XD
Well, I hope whoever did was shot on the spot! Although, I'd believe there may be someone with to much money and too few brain cells to realise what a sin it would be.
the only sin is that Manon bike was so dirty. unless she rode it to the spot.
Having a bike like that means nothing if you don't know the layout of your city where the alleycat is being hosted.
Geez a backie pls Manon. ;)
That chain looks a little tight. Maybe they did that so that it would be noisy for the sound check.
Chain needs to be tight enough, that there is zero possibility for it to derail (run off of the chain ring or cog) under any conditions. If that were to happen at speed, it would be catastrophic.
handlebars, 👍🏻
why don't you use a lockring?
Because that bike doesn't need one. It's only ridden in the velodrome.
Will Manon ever race and/or qualify for an NJS Keirin?!?!
85 cm saddle height? I’d expect to see more seat post out of frame.
I have the same saddle height but I'm 194 cm tall
That looked more like 65, 85 could be her wheelbase
#SAVETHETRACKBIKE
Supernice
Wo! Did not expect THAT sound. So loud, no?! Chain aligned ok?
Otherwise, that mat bike rocks! Oh, hold on. This may explain the sound…
From what i've been told, NJS chains all make that loud sound. My boy has an Izumi Super Toughness on his track bike and i always joke with him about how gritty his chain sounds.
My track bike sounds exactly the same. Not sure why but most carbon track bikes are loud.
Amazing darling👌
Honestly, I'd change the crank to something more modern-looking
Can it do wheelies though?
It can if you can... remember a unicycle (permanent wheelie) is a fixed gear too!
Wheelies? Yes, it's a great bike for wheelies - if you can get the front wheel up in the first place.
Maybe that's an idea for a new kind of track event? It would certainly be entertaining for the spectators.

What A bbeauty!
Look of love Manon gave her bike is more intense than the love Carl Fredricksen had for Ellie.
finally a fixie
What is that slotted screwhead doing in the chain ??????? at 2:24
Chain link. There’s a nut on the other side.
Why does a track bike sounds like this if doesn't have a free hub?
It's the rattle of the chain on the cogs, amplified by the surface area of the disc wheel.
85cm saddle height? that cant be from center of bottom bracket??
Excellent video Manon, love the track bike. Did you not think about washing it before filming it?
