Lachy is quietly building his legend. Yet, during the interview he said nothing about being a multiple record holder. That's classy. Hopefully the pro racing world will allow more unconventional riders like him to make a decent living. Thank you for making my day!
I love Lachlan's training philosophy. Its not about winning and hating training and doing set workouts. Have fun on bike! Enjoy the bike. Keep the love of riding part of you.
This is wonderful. I like to think I am comfortable descending big hills fixed (UK, Welsh Marches). But... I would not have the bottle or confidence to do so on a loose surface. That is another level. I can spin briefly at 175-180 on a big drop, but not with power... just letting the legs go. These guys are anpther level. Also (now aged 60) I cannot sustain these fast descents on fixed and have to brake every now and then to get the legs down under 140 before speedong up again. But as anove... These guys are absolutely on it. And... Chatting while climbing. Chatting while climbing! Hat! (As we say on the UK).
I was literally rewatching the Gus episode last night and was wondering why you guys haven't done one of these with Lachlan, so what a treat to wake up to this today! Lachlan is my cycling spirit animal, and I'm glad you chose one of the best climbs in Boulder to do the interview on!
Lachlan seems like such a solid dude. Watching stuff like this and the EF channel has definitely got me out and about doing way more *dumb shit* on my bike during lockdown... ta!
Soo amazing. Jaw dropping how easy they ride fixed downhill on such steep grade. Also climbing on 49/18 gear ratio is impressive. I ride my thunderbird state bike with 36/13 on single track mtb trails in Aspen, but not fixed. Can’t be fixed on jumps, or rocky downhills. Good job guys!
Ive been for a few months! Great production value, great interviews, beautiful bikes and roads and even a few cools songs that I made sure to save! :D keep the good work!
His form is so fucking perfect that when he's at that low of a cadence it just looks like slow motion. The only way I knew it wasn't was because he was talking.
10:40 - 10:58 That's the GD truth right there - if we all had a little more of that, we'd all be better people. Another truth bomb at 19:01. This guy has it figured out.
Great stuff guys impressive ! Here's how I roll: Singlespeed is just as challenging up grades yet allows you to rest knees on down hills. I'll run a 16-17 or 18 fixed cog on one hub side & Single speed 17 or 18 cog on the other side - on a 'flip-flop hub'. Bring a 15mm wrench to swap over. Go out fixed at outset or uphills then swap to Singlespeed upon return leg or descending.
Read this comment thought omg bore off but then saw how much his butt was jiggling up and down on the high cadence and totally agree boi needs to sort that out
Haha this ride is brutal for me on a 39x25! These guys are freaks. Rode Rist Canyon last week and to think Lachlan rode the top bit 42 times in 7 hours and change is mind boggling. Reading about it doesn't make it sink in.
Just a more technical question: I also ride fixed uphill sometimes, and when I'm on a heavier ratio I usually get some slightly intimidating creaky sound from the chain that feels like it's tractioning a bit too much. Is it an indication that is getting close to failure?
This bike was really easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Is this the official UA-cam channel for the company because if it is you guys still haven’t contact me about my order. Never have I ever had to wait this long for a purchase from your site.
Going uphill with contant elevation is possible, but unluckily in my city there is no such thing. All it’s left available is double downhill with super steep hillclimb
The old Cannondale track aluminum frames from the early 90’s are hugely popular in the messenger community. They do look good but I’ve never really been a fan myself.
Just when I thought these couldn't get any better, enter Lachlan Morton.
DKlein- just throwing it out there

His pedal stroke looked so smooth descending.
Ascending too

The best bike series on UA-cam. 👍
Appreciate it! Make sure you're subscribed and spread the word!
@@statebicycle When this clusterf##k is all over, y'all come to China and tear it up. Riding fixed, on the great wall, with Pros.
Can't agree more about when you link two places together to make a loop. Something so satisfying about that.
**chef kiss**
I found myself smiling ear to ear watching them descend. Lachlan always makes being on a bike look so fun.
Same - we can't stop watching!
man of the moment
Amen.

These 2 eps might be the best 2... but then again, they're all good :D
5:40 the homie's double take: "are they riding fixed?!"
This is the one I was waiting for
YES YES YES - US TOO!
Lachlan seems like such a solid dude. Watching stuff like this and the EF channel has definitely got me out and about doing way more *dumb shit* on my bike during lockdown... ta!
Such a solid dude.
YES to that. Put fat(ter) tyres on my steel road bike (32mm would accept) and hit the trails in the woods absolutely love it

I'm so glad these are back. Vicarious traveling in covid times.
Linking sections of trail together rides are so gratifying!
What a great video. Never expected to get such a blast from a film clip. And some life philosophies to think about. Thank you.
Lachlan inspires me. As do these videos. I actually expect my singlespeed to arrive today.
I feel like taylor phinney would be a good rider for these!
lachlan being a wizard is my new favorite trope in cycling
Warlock.
Class video + edit. 0:16:30 onwards is a joy, makes you feel like you are actually on the bike drafting them.
Lachlan makes me smile. Great video!
:D "Smiles for Miles"
I looked up “send it” in the dictionary and there was Lachlan Morton.
this is the coolest series ever! :D

Great stuff and good music as always!
Glad you dig it! Thanks for watching :D
The Morton brothers are always rad. Scott or bhard interviewing makes it even better! Great job!
Lachlan for President!
Literally my favourite videos on yt 🙌🏼
Appreciate it! Make sure you're subscribed and spread the word!

These videos are so awesome

So relaxing man this ep inspired me to convert my bike into fixie😅💞
Great stuff guys impressive !

love Lachlan so much
He's pretty special :D
LOL!! the descending is hilarious!! Great 👍 job guys!!
My knees hurt from just watching this.
Lachlan is so rad - great video.
real cool, thanks for the inspiration, PS looks like you could drop your seat about 12mm to stop that bounce and have a fraction more power seated
Read this comment thought omg bore off but then saw how much his butt was jiggling up and down on the high cadence and totally agree boi needs to sort that out
Compare it to L’s totally still pelvis
‘A fitness defiency’
Getting Lachlan on your already amazing series - talk about a smart move 🧐💭
Thank you - glad we pulled it off. We got him literally 1 day before he had to go to Europe on 2 days' notice!
It would be interesting to see Lachy in the Red Hook Crit! I think he’ll love it & the atmosphere that those races give.
The last 4 minutes may be the happiest on UA-cam
Lachlan Morton is Bad Ass.
Laughing at the guy on the mountain bike behind them just spinning away.
Crazy cadence down hill!
No choice
Finally another episode and with favorite cyclist 🚴♀️ 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Y'all went down Lickskillet on fixed gears?! You wildin'
Scott likes to say he's "Insane in the Membrane"
Haha this ride is brutal for me on a 39x25! These guys are freaks. Rode Rist Canyon last week and to think Lachlan rode the top bit 42 times in 7 hours and change is mind boggling. Reading about it doesn't make it sink in.
A marriage made in heaven, at long last

Love this
Does anyone know the name of the intro song? Awesome song, awesome series 👍🏼
Excelent video 🇲🇽 ✌️
Austyn Gillette of Peloton
This was great
I really like this guy.
Likskillet on a fixie.. Another level right there
best series on youtube .... you guys should get Peter Sagan to do this or try to lol
Appreciate it! Make sure you're subscribed and spread the word!
he could easily do this
That really slowed down the pace, and they really worked. EF guy downhill was smooth, only his legs were moving, the other guy was bouncing.
who does the editing and filming ?!! It's 10/10
Possibly one of my top 10 videos featuring a World Tour rider trying to levitate a stick.
Finalmente un account dove non si vedono biciclette con i freni a disco.
Triangle for sure
Just a more technical question: I also ride fixed uphill sometimes, and when I'm on a heavier ratio I usually get some slightly intimidating creaky sound from the chain that feels like it's tractioning a bit too much. Is it an indication that is getting close to failure?
god damn those descent are buttery smooth
Best downhill yet!
ITS BACK!
YOU KNOW WE HAD TO DO IT TO 'EM
16:05 Man I just got a major Dale Earnhardt Sr vibe... Maybe his stick levatating powers actually conjured The Intimidator instead. :O
Sound mixing, seriously, the sequences are all like 10db over the talking. I like to be able to watch in a single volume gear.
everything thats right about riding your bike
That's what we're about.
Holy cadence!
Great video
Appreciate you! Make sure to subscribe
seriously though, how do you reclip?
They have brakes.
Legend!
No le puedes dejar subtítulos en español estuvo muy vacano tu vídeo
Does anyone know what the Tattoo is on Lachlans left arm? I swear I recognize it but I just can't place it.
anyone know the song that started playing when they began the descent?
"hey it's eric marcotte" hahahahahahaha
I believed that stick had a genuine shot at moving, because if anyone can levitate a stick, it's Lachlan Morton.
What brakes are on the Undefeated?
Take A BIG Care .
Anyone know what handlebar bag Lachy has on?
D-klein

Dropping an MTB'er on fixie, nice!
I thought fixed gear bikes didn't have brakes?
Dante young next?
GEAR RATIO? please?

those are som really cool descends thou, are there anything like that in europe? ie hilly gravel roads?
We're sure there are many! Maybe we need to shoot Season 4 there :D
yaaaass
10:02 some guy trying to draft
I love that. Super low gear and full suspension. Clearly hating life.
ahaha)) didn't even notice
can't understand mtb´s on pavement

Safa brian? Possibly???
IT looks so easy
Is this a legit jersey which Lachlan wears or has he cut the arms of the jersey which seems to be a size or two too large for him?
Pretty sure he’s wearing a T-shirt, not a jersey.
@@MediocreSalad-z9h We will never know whether it is a fashion statement or an improvised move because he had no real Team EF jersey around. :)
Rapha made some technical shirts for EF last year that the guys all wore for the alternative race calendar.
@Chris2activ is y’all gotta search up with his sick ass tricks
Petrocelli meets Bob Dylan. Peace ✌🏻
thought it was gonna be another everest tbh
Cannondale? Didn't even know they made fixed frames.

Lachlan isn't breaking a sweat literally
Get Seabase !!
