Hi Julian Thankyou for your informative lecture on these machines. I have one of these in the garrage/shed. I thought it was a sowing machine but now I'm much wiser
Julian, I'm begging you! Please do a video re the unstoppable industry trend to fully integrate cables / hoses through bars, stem, and headtube, even on metal bikes! It's driving me nuts 😢!!
Those handlebars on my Topstone gotta go. They took a touring bike, added goofy Woodchipper style bars, wide gravel style tires, and called it an adventure bike! Those tires went first, next came handlebars, and it became the bicycle.
um, you didnt talk about braze-ons, axel type, or fork mayerial and i dont think i heard the word "compliance" a single time. How will i know which one to buy (next).
ALL the new bike categories? Maybe I dozed off in the middle and missed it, but what about the ickle wheel types - what category are they then? I have my suspicions ...
Darn it - beaten to the first post! Doh... As for saying 'it was a joke...' well, many a true word spoken in jest Mr Hutchings! Cracking rant- and pretty true too. Do we really need gravel bikes and bike packing bikes and all that carry on when we could have, as you have there, just bicycles.? Look no further than The Roughstuff Fellowship for guidance on what can be achieved with a simple road going bicycle, a sturdy Carradice bag and a pipe full of old shag tobacco. No fancy categories for those fellows! No lycra or Rapha guff either - just corduroy trousers and wooly hats smeared inside with a generous layer of Brylcreem. No sponsor for the Hutchings channel though... t'is a poor show that for the number one channel for the discerning bike borne gentleman!
Yup, getting old see! I can't help feeling I let you down though Mr Hutchings, after you said I'd likely be the first to post n'all... So I shall run up and down the street dressed only in my grundies, singing 'I want to ride my bicycle' by Queen, while beating myself on the backside with a rolled up copy of Cycling Weekly by way of atonement!
Its crazy isnt it so funny really trying to convince people you need this or that type of bike.. and now everything's gone from needing aero back to lightweight comical.. I love steel, rim brakes, tubes.. Oh no I should be shot it's blasphemy, Im a dinosaur lol great recommendation on the Gilles Berthoud Gallibier saddle, I've now bought 2 brilliant :) Pete
Love it, one of your best rants!

I am truly offended !!. I thought I was one of your favourites. Great vid and a fab looking Orbea
I didn’t say you weren’t

Dunno - is it?

Why are there no 650 bee bikes? Are you allergic?
Can’t afford them
Christ on a bike that was boring. Only joking, Julian. 🙂
Cheers 👍🏼
Out of interest Young Man which is your go to bike?
Good question - at the moment prolly the Giant but I mostly ride the Orbea. If that makes sense
Complete and utter Bollox but great, you should be sponsored by Squarespace.
Who?
