Who do you think has the best retro bike? Are you stoked for retro week?
Doddy
Doddys! Short handlebars look awesome.
@gmbn did you even give neil a memo about what to wear? hahahaha he seems like was on a vacation for a month and didn't get a new uniform on his return hahahha ni job guys... bring in sam pilgrim and his 4wheeler!
I'll give Blake my vote cause he went full squishy!
Yes!! I said this earlier but I'd be more stoked with a retro month
Edit: Doddy's bike is best, Neil's 2nd and Blake's just disappointed me, it was awful
I’m actually impressed with doddy’s car park skills, wasn’t expecting that 👏🏽
and clipped in too...
If you saw the first game of bike with doddy his skills on the stairs with the big bike was a bit of a giveaway :)
Came here to say this
He's old school, he's in his 40's now and lived in MTB when dicking about was in its prime. People didn't have vigorous training routines, they found some dirt, made some jumps, and just fooled about with their mates after school each day. Kids had to improvise with their bikes a bit too. If you wanted to race DH, you grabbed your trusty XC hardtail and with some parts from your LBS's discount bin, you pretended it was a DH bike.
@@Metal-Possum damn u should make a movie lol
“I’ve got dual suspensionization” is my new favorite phrase 😂
GMBN - The Top Gear of MTB (The old Top Gear, obviously)
Blake shouts so loud he's picking up on everyone's microphones!
I only own a retro and this video made me feel more confident about having one, and made me care less about the weird looks i get when shredding it on my trusty retro fully
I have a retro rigid and i feel much better about riding mine after watching this. I gave up looking cool last week and decided to just ride it lol
Owned many old bikes and still have an early Zaska LE.. cant knock some of the old bikes especially when you can (or could!!) get them cheap.. .
Oh man this is like the old Top Gear. I want mooore!!
They look so rough to ride ;D
Moment of silence for Doddy.
Love these challenges do more of them 🤟🏻
Edit can you do another sends of the month
He shook hiscan
I think the Marin is a beautiful design. Fugly is in the eye of the beholder. Impressive style and skill from Doddy in the car park! Very cool 😎
10:19 look closely what doddy is doing in the background
real nice vid btw
lmfao
Nablo having a cheeky one trailside
"nature calls"
pretty sure he is shaking up that beverage, even though it probably was not necessary. Which is pretty lame, when you have to fake stuff in these videos.
@@ScottYarosh you know what? He did not fake anything as hes clearly done it just to show off in front of the camera where nobody else could see him...
Wow didn't know how skilled Doddy is! Neat! Want to see more of his riding!
It's going to sound weird, but Doddy is the most unassuming rider on this channel. If that makes sense. He's rarely seen showcasing his skills, but he's an absolute monster :)
Nothing beats the originals and i love the music at the beginning
This brings me back! Still have my old GT Timberline and Avalanche and still have fun on them! Catching the salami is no fun though. I love these retro vids!
We need more of Doddy! He's an utter laugh
Doddy has some serius skills! Amazing
I LOVE the details in this video, especially the 4:3 aspect ratio
Those Xizang’s are really a work of art!
This is really what GMBN does best, just show the joys and fun of MTB. Don't take it too serious and have fun!
An epic ride/bikepacking adventure on the retro beasts would be pretty interesting. Points awarded for the least repairs required along the way!
-1 for Neil, 1990 Lavadome originally had Project 2 forks, those are not P2's for sure!
This is a great video, definitely know that you're heading in the right direction when you've got Blake flying sounding like a 250, heaps of laughs, good job boys :)
I remember those days I'd put a can on my back wheel every time i finish my drink after a ride and let everyone know I'm coming home, finally stopped doing it ever since the day it slashed my tyre.... hahaa memories :)
I LOVE retro challenge!!! Blake "this is good for motorbike noises" had me in stitches ahaha
100% my score go's to Doddy full titanium GT & XTR like how lucky a pure 90's XC racers pin up 😍. Oh yes how's the sausage Doddy? - looked like pure squashing/crushing pain......was fully expecting the high pitched Michael Jackson Impression!!!! 😂
Doddy is the king, he ripped them apart in 2 seconds
Because of OP music for a moment I thought this is Abroad in Japan channel :D
My favorite part about Doddy's GT might be the original Selle Italia Flite. That thing would cost a pretty penny on its own right now.
Love that Lava Dome! And rad that Neil has upgraded with huge fat tires and the 1x gearing. Nice looking steel rig.
Bone shaking and sausage smashing is the best descriptor of 1990s mountain biking I have ever heard, it is 100% accurate!
The challenge videos are sooo entertaining, more please!!
Also a good idea, do a challenge where you guys build a bike on a tight budget and have to do a set of challenges to see who’s built the best bike ;)
Excellent idea!
great idea, but there may be some issues with sponsorship.
This is the 5th comment I have made in relation to budgeting bikes ect! There is so many amazing ideas for gmbn to notice!! The number of people with ideas like yours is unreal. We really are a community!! One of us will get noticed eventually!!
You beautiful people!!
Why just retro week??
I'd like retro month
Think you should try another new v old. But this time build a new old stock frame with 2019 parts. Maybe on a 2009 full suspension frame. Should make interesting viewing
wicked idea
But most new parts won't fit the old standarts, for example modern forks wouldnt fit into the old narrow headset. But just seeing what basic upgrades would to to the bike would be nice. A wider handlebar is probably the most important change
@@gaz2188 I'm sure GMBN could sort something out. There good at problem solving!
@@gaz2188
Yeah, that's pretty much what I found out when I thought about reviving my old late 90s XC rig.
Just not worth the trouble, plus none of the choice parts will really be compatable.
Everything today is beefier, axle standards changed, hub spacing and chainstay designs changed to suit wider range rear gearing, wider tires, and larger wheels,
Handle bar diameters changed, brakes have gone to almost exclusively disc in MTB (issue if your 90's frame doesn't have disc brake mounts)
Fork steer tube standards changed, headset designs changed, BB standards changed.
To do a full ground up build using the best 2019 parts on a late 90s frame... its gonna be a PITA.
It seems that there's a whole community of like minded people for stuff like this!! The number of people wanting them to do more on retro and older bikes. Honestly, I am of the same belief. I have already commented something very similar to somebody else today about wanting gmbn to notice us one day!! We'll live in hope. If something of the kind happens we will all be buzzing!! Hope you get seen mate!!
The Moment he jumped with that sound from that can i nearly pissed myself hahaha high quallity content !! 😁👍
I remember doing the “ motorcycle noise” thing with old can me and a friend would raid the recycle bins for old cans and squeeze them between the frame and rear tyre I think we pissed off a neighbour once though.
jack hewitt who didn’t do that? 😂😂
Used a clothespin and a playing card .
@@stevehague3836 Yeah that's the normal way. The can is bad for the bike. I actually bought one from walmart just a few years ago that had a thicker plastic card and a muffler horn for beefy sound. It was pretty cool.
We used to get trading cards and tape them to our chain stays so they would contact the spokes
Loved hearing Blake shout out Doddy’s name, they sound like kids out having fun lol
Wow Doddy, looked like he's in his natural habitat, showed off some skills :D
It has to be Doddy that is so retro. But for out right lunacy it has to be Blakes motorbike impression !!!! cheers guys loving the retro stuff.
😂 That was an ace video, looked so much fun.
Riding a retro/older bike does show how far bike technology has come.
Awesome stuff Blake, Neil and Doddy 👊🤟

I am grateful for the advancements in mountain biking. Back in the day we didn't know that what we rode could be better, we just road what we had. It wasn't as much about what type of trail you road, as it was a bunch of folks getting together to ride on dirt and in the woods. The first mountain bikes we had were rigid front and rear and you felt like your whole body was numb after riding the trail. My hope for the future of mountain biking is to continue to advance, but never forget the past and the main reason mountain biking came to existence. Have fun, ride whatever you have, make friends and make great memories.
All the old by bikes are pure classic. Especially the old bmx they used to make.
Lol Doddy shaking up his "can" in the background at 10:20
this is entertaining to watch! Doddy looks so natural riding that retro GT
Still riding my GT All Terra Outpost Trail. Triple triangle 4130 chromoly steel. The large frame with the extremely long stem has my head in the clouds but my baby is smooth, solid and absolutely gorgeous!
Still great for cruising, trail riding, camping, bike hiking and messing around with the grand kids in the cul de sac.
Great to see you guys have held on to your old faithfuls.
Will not even consider single track at speed faster than I can walk though😉
That was fun, had me in stitches. Thank you!
I just bought a 2004 Gary Fisher Tassajara to add to my stable so retro week really speaks to me
1996 GF Tassajara, fully rigid, bought to ride abandoned railway tracks (ties/sleepers removed) and about only thing I want to upgrade are hard rubber grips to have more dampening for arms.
Doddy in the car park skills riding a wheelie while drinking from a water bottle!!! Too awesome!!! Should’ve gotten 10pts for that move! Great video. 2-👍🏻
Fun on ANY working bike really, good job, thx all!
The 'smiles per mile' factor of old bikes can't be understated. I've never seen you guys laugh so much on a ride out.
Of course. The GT dominates. Since 1972. Love em!
More doddy flexing his skills please!
This reminded me so much of the beloved old Top Gear. I would LOVE to see you guys explore that format.
Doddy's got skills. And easily the coolest bike
It's so good to see y'all on those bikes, loved every minute of it.
Love you guys! Keep up the good work!! 🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♀️🚵♀️
skkkkrrrttt who else is popping (thanks!) a retro bike keep providing quality content GMBN
pooping?
Ha! Awesome! I just posted a video of my 1989 Kona fire mountain a few days ago. Great to see a lavadome from the same year.
Kona Lavadome with project 2 forks, my first bike too, brings back great memories.
Those narrow bars though...lol
That was Ace! love you guy's.. Rather miss GOT than the Dirt Shed Show!.. 🤘🏼🤙🏼
That snowflake wheel looks mint!
..you three are the most fun guys to watch on YT..not only related to mtb..thanks a lot for your videos, your knowledge..and your humour in general
Love this! Lol....the bars on doddys bike!!
Looks like the brake levers are nearly touching, so narrow!🤘
Neil's bike has a new drivetrain!
Hahahaha background music was so accurate! lol
So stoked! My only MTB is retro, and I ride it all the time on gnarly trails. It's cool to see you all representing the retro bikes. They can still be great fun, especially if you upgrade the components. I'm riding a 1996 Litespeed Obed F/S titanium full sus, 80mm travel front and rear. I've replaced every component on it, changed to wide bars instead of that narrow bar madness, and it still rips!
Doddy knows what's good... GT gang for life
There's nothing better than seeing world class pros just giggling and acting like little kids doing what they love
The editors at gmbn and gcn are top notch
Another amazing video guys you are all awesome 😎
This was absolutely brilliant. I was in stitches the whole time
Classic! Good times for all. Love the video editing as well.
wow watching these guys fooling around is just so much fun! feels like I'm there with them!
This challenge is insane man. I remember the past. Super classic it feels 1990's again. Love this video. 👊
that retro bikes had a lot of memories in there.
the stuff these guys come up with though
nice one neil, its like triggers sweeping brush!!
the kona lava dome and gt xizang really bring back old memory. i use to ride KHS, the one with blue and pink colour back in the day, on the expressway with my other roadie friend, lol
I started mountain biking this last year on a fully rigid 26" bike. Seeing how much you guys hated your bikes suspension or lack there of, and how much I still enjoy my bike, Its hard to believe just how much better a modern mountain bike is in comparison.
oh dear daddy doddy. haven't seen gmbn presenters this dorky ever, excellent episode
Glad to see some content with Doddy riding.
Please do more retro stuff! A regular series or something
Retro Week will always be the most fun event on GMBN❤️
Neils face at 16:06 is the funniest thing I have ever seen HAHAHAHA
thank's for keeping vintage bikes alive with your videos! I try to keep some of the vintage ones (mostly Cannondale) on youtube "keep on pedalling" alive.
Nearly spat my tea out watching this. Absolutely great. What was that last trail you flew down, looked really nice.
Love these retro bike segments!! 👍 The GT is super nice but Neal's rigid Kona really gets it! Blake is a classic all around.
I SO enjoyed this one. Great job all!
Love These Challenges Just Shows You Can Shred On Anything
I love my 97 klein attitude comp Hardtail XSmall.The only thing i changed was the clip pedals to flats,and the rock shock coil,i had to replace with a air rock shock.They just don!t fix anything anymore.The bike fits well,and it does the job for me. Great Video on Retro,keep them coming.🚴✌
One of your best vids. It brought back great memories of the late 90s
My mother gave me an unnamed retro MTB from 2001 with bomber suspension.
It still holded on longer than my 2019 Orbea hardtail.
Old man bikes, old man problems, old man language, I love it'!
Also, those trails look strait out of the PNW North Shore! I love it...
Thanks for another excuse to wear lycra with chamois on my XC hardtail - padding in case I do a Doddy 😜
Something tells me Blake has smashed a few wobbly pops in that manner before.. great form ol son.
Biased to Marin as that’s my current ride, but Doddy and that GT got it in the bag.
Poor Doddy’s sausage. Haha😂😂. These presenter challenges are awesome. More please😁😁😁😁
I just restored my old man's 1992 Marin Bobcat Trail 3 n 90% of the components are still original except tires, seat n grip. Still riding it like a dream!
I love this kind of videos...the guys seem to have tons of fun 😆
Omg 😂 those were gems back in the 90's 👌🤣🤙
Gmbn is like mtb top gear
DAVE HEMMINGS, now theres a blast from the past.
My first DH race was a local venue, missed the first run as was in the Woodman Pub, Bewdley. Got back to the top of the hill, chatting some nice young lady in lycra, Dave Hemmings missus. My run came up, he was next, I rode no brakes most the way down lol. Didn't want him catching me 😆😆😆😆
Finished 82nd out of over 400, so must chat up more pro riders GFs next time 🤘🤙👍
"That's wheelee good".... Glorious
Retro week has been great watching this episode gave me as many chuckles as you guys had
