Columbus Cromor is an excellent tube set (it has the same mechanical performance as Reynolds 631). The frame is welded with a micro-TIG technique (not simply TIG), so it is certainly very resistant. The frame (without fork) weighs 2kg, so it's quite light too. It's definitely not a high-end track bike, but I wouldn't call it an entry-level bike either. It is certainly an excellent mid-range bicycle and by changing the fork it can certainly be used to try the first crit races
I used to ride bmx but i run a business now and sick of getting hurt, im now addicted to my fixed gear bike, its literally a bmx/mountain/road/cyclocross bike all in one gotta love it😂🙏
No its not. They're all unique and you get different life from them. You don't compare to dismiss. You understand its a bicycle. Now you explore tuning them differently, and to the extreme.
When they stop being childish they might realize they need 2 more bicycles. If they want to invest in their life they need to buy 5 or 6 bicycles. 1 bike makes you an idiot consumer that knows nothing about bikes.
I like Cinelli styling. The tipo pistas have the best paint colorways in the industry. The eggplant purple one is unbeatable. The Mike Giant stuff is cool.
Zach, how do justify the price tag of the Cinelli Gazzetta with its chromoly frame? The All-City Big Block, which you’ve reviewed favorably, is also 4130 chromoly, and it has, in my opinion, an overpriced of $1,000 for the complete, $599 for the frame? Surly steamroller 4130 frame is $500?? These bikes are overpriced in my opinion. You can get a State 4130 COMPLETE for around $500! IDK & I don’t get it??? 🤷🏻♂️🤷♀️
Do you want to hand that money to a hospital? You're all supposed to buy 3 of each, not 1. You're ruining your life and their's. Everyone sees you trying to be thrifty 24/7, so they work against you. You're immature.
Yeah true, I noticed the overpriced bikes myself and no one seems to talk about it. Since you seem to be like minded, what do you think is worth the complete bike for some one who can't spend $1000 or even $700 on a complete bike, $500 might be pushing it too but that could be something I could work towards in the future. I saw Bikes direct had single speeds for like 249 but are made with cromo so maybe I could switch it out with a fixed cog instead? very specific but maybe it's something or do you have another alternative.
haha, i'm one of the 6 that read all the bike specs on the site. I even downloaded the PDF catalogue. The Supercorsa is the real bad ass one, but for 2K plus... it is gonna have to wait.
I've seen the supercorsa up close - they're super nice, but expensive - like I said - you are paying a brand tax. At least it's not another Vigorelli (not that I have anything against Vigorellis, but it seems like every Cinelli posted online is a vig, with a few sharks thrown in).
@@jakubfabisiak9810 haha, I got a Black Night Vig too. I use mine as a workout machine and I pass up roadies going up hills. If Wabi offers undrilled frames, I may get a lugged frame from them instead of a Supercorsa. I really wish Colnago still had the Master Pista frames available.
@@roguecode2354 well if you have the budget for it, check out Kory York, and yes - they do offer undrilled. The R28 oversize (that's the lugged version) in particular is a nice, if 900 euro frameset.
@BeboSaab I know what you mean, the frame I like is the steel Oversize frame. I would not get the Aluminum. The alternative is to buy a used NJS frame in good condition for 900 to 1200. I like that they do full custom sizes and colors. Not many companies do that and if they do it is over 3000 easy just for the frame or around 5000. I can not afford It now but it would be about 1500 US from Kory York if I ever went for it. They compete with Dosnoventa as "hand built in Italy" frames. they ky initials remind me of KY jelly tho... haha
it's a clip from an earlier batch of videos - you can see it was taken at a different location. The chainring is also different, as is the cog (a 17T novatec), and you can't see it, but I had a different stem and bars back then (bullhorns). I took the brake off in August, when I changed from bullhorns to risers, and my current fork (a Kory York r28) is undrilled.
Like the color and his bars. Also what are some good spots to ride in Sacramento my sister just moved there over the summer from Oakland and have thought about hitting her up but I haven’t ridden anywhere passed Fairfield in that direction from Vallejo and was curious since it’s your home turf. She lives in fair oaks.
this video is exactly that. And all you have to do to get your bike featured, is record some footage of it, and put it up on g-drive, or dropbox for Zach to download.
@@jakubfabisiak9810 ah you're right! duhh haha! I thought it was just him talking about builds not actually his viewers' builds. Thanks! once I finish mine, i'll def submit.
Heck yeah! I have an old prerrie breaker, a Schwinn traveler, that mostly just sit there now as the Wabi urban also just sits there, cuz im always at work... :(
I have spent about an hour on a fixed gear bike that wasn't mine. It had toe straps and I spend a good amount of time trying to figure out how to skid and cannot, in a million years, even after getting it down, imagine using mtb pedals on a track bike. If (when) I build a track bike, I hope I discover that I was doing something fundementally wrong, because I would be accidentally unclipping 100% of the time and only slowing down by sliding on my ass if I were to use mtb pedals.
The moment i borrowed my friend's fixie to test it out little do i know i'll be drunk with the feeling of riding it. now im currently selling my phone just to get me some of those fixed gears XD
My experience is sort of the opposite this summer I went from fixed (because of your videos) to single speed, then drop bar gear road bike, ultimately ended up at weird hybrid cruiser distance rider. I appreciate the uncompromising character of fixie riding but like hills, cars, weather, real life shit just gets in the way. Also consider changing your stance on biking bibs (bike clothes). My asshole and taint are forever grateful I spent the money to keep them happy
I have a hard time figuring out what this guy is going on about half the time. What does he mean by the following expressions: (at 3:40) - “because the stock unicrown fork is so appalling.” - What exactly is appalling about it? (at 5:05) “with the ultimately connected drivetrain”. (at 5:16) - “While splashing an equal amount of contrast and fixie-points to the build”. (at 5:32) “to liven up the ride”.
what is the average shipping to EU for the Wabi bikes!? it says that shipping and customs gets cheaper if you order the wheels separately... anyone that know average shipping cost?
so ive been riding a state bike for a while and i want to upgrade to a new fixie bike and idk what to get, I dont need another beginner bike but im also not trying to break the bank and spend a $1,000. any suggestions.
hard to say in that case. I spent over 1200 on this (give or take, and I got the frameset at a discount), but that's a 365 euro wheelset, and them NJS components are not exactly cheap either. On the other hand, you could get something like this: www.njs-export.com/collections/frames/products/stratos-double-purple-fade-55-5cm (I don't know your frame size, so I linked a 55.5cm one) - these are used NJS Keirin frames (and the price includes NJS-approved bottom bracket, and headset - typically a shimano, or a hatta super swan). Depending on the frame you chose, they go for anywhere between 500, and 1200 bucks, but, you know - NJS ;)
The "not stylish" thing factors in for sure. For me personally, as much as I like my fixie, it's not my only bike. Messenger bags can be annoying for sure, but once you get a system down they're pretty handy. Your not getting around that back sweat on moderate or longer commutes though..))
The Tutto is the continuation of the MASH Work. The grey one is cool and masculine. The new one is more feminine in style. My favorite bike is my MASH work. It's comfortable and lends to more upright posture. And, I have 38 c Herse Barlow pass tires on it.
Call me a fool, but to me a bike with carbon fork is a road bike, derailleur on or off. As I see Nitto, they make some not common parts like bag supports and handlebars of unique geo and sizes. But Nitto stems, are they unique?
@@event4216 i also liked that at 73 degrees, it's almost paralell to the top tube (headtube angle is actually 74.5). And for what it's worth, I have since switched to a flat crown steel fork, for that full steel frameset feel, though the carbon one rode great.
@@jakubfabisiak9810 Stem || TT looks nice, yes. I had to turn mine which was almost || around to raise HBs for 1cm as steerer was cut rather short. Age, low front and neck don't mix well.... I'm aware carbon forks can be strong and that is kind of prejudice. Though I think crowned steel one is cherry on a cake.

It's really mean of you to attack messengers, you know they can't afford the internet connection to see this and defend themselves. (jk)

They are to busy riding.
One thing about Cinelli, is that you are paying a brand tax, so if you are shopping for a bargain, it won't have a Cinelli crest on the headtube.
Got mine for 200 😄

Recently began riding fixed gear.. only took 26 years 😅
Took me 29, can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner! So much fun
Well I didn't get on a fixed gear till I was 36, so there's that.
I didn't realise till I was 45
32, tbh i think iv got 15-20y left to ride fixed, then over to bmx and TT
@@puro52 at that rate, nurses at the retirement home won't be able to get you off your unicycle.
Started fixed gear this year, love it. Last year I tried it, I hated it but now I enjoy it
Everyone else learned at age 5.
Your generation is extremely slow at learning.
@@dreyn7780 I've been riding bikes since 5 actually, just never had fixed. Not like your generation is somewhat superior.
Fixed gears are the hardest drug of cycling? Have you ever watched Freeride mountain biking?? 😂 I’m addicted to all of the above so all the love.
I always appreciate the reminder to stop watching videos and go ride my bike.
I like Cinelli styling. The tipo pistas have the best paint colorways in the industry. The eggplant purple one is unbeatable. The Mike Giant stuff is cool.
Imagine a supercorsa in purple and nickel lugs (nickel has a more yellowish tint, than chrome).
Its tuned to something.
