(The Original) Masi
I just built a Colnago President with a Campagnolo Record groupset and Eurus wheels. All the major components including the frameset were purchased second-hand off eBay. It’s old school now but in my view it’s still a fantastic bicycle that I plan to keep forever.
Cinelli was missed here.
In this video: Bianchi, Colnago, PInarello, Legnano

The French bike manufacturer Lejune. My dad picked one up at Police auction and we thought it was a pretty big deal. I rode it a lot till I found it destroyed by vandals… it inspired me to save up and buy a new Bianchi.
OLMO

SORRY BUT TIME WITH THE TIME HELIX WAS THE FIRST FULL CARBON FRAME AND QUALITY WAS MUCH BETTER AT THIS TIME THE TIME HELIX WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE BIKE BEFORE C40 EVEN IF COLMAGO IS A GREAT NAME IN TECHNOLOGY THEY WERE FAR BEHIND VITUS AND LOOK.

Masi!
how about cinelli??
HOW ABOUT BATTAGLIN THE LEGENDARY ROAD BIKE IN THE WORLD
Love my Colnago Master
Bottecchia???
I think it is impossible for anyone to watch and listen to your videos and not become instantly a fan of cycling.
In my view, you master a rare talent of making your audiences want to watch more and more of your presentations.
I think it would be very interesting if you could upload a video of yours commenting on Raleigh bicycles (used to have one, some fifty years ago, as a teenager).
Thank you so much.
OLYMPIA…I love their BOOST…I know I’m 2 years late🙈 that and DE ROSA PROTOS.😍🇿🇦✌🏿

MERCIAN CYCLES
All these bicycles are overpriced. How can some of these bicycles cost more than a motorcycle which has more parts and more sophisticated mechanisms.
Hi I would like to heard more about basso italian bike
When I saw that PINARELLO ‘s frame broke in half in the TDF last year, I had to pinch myself to believe it!
Gianni Moscon’s Pinarello splits in half during crash. Gianni Moscon saw his bike snap in half as he was involved in a nasty crash during stage 8 of the Tour de France . Almost the entire Ineos team came down on a corner ahead of the last climb as Michael Woods crashed.
Alan: the first aluminium (and first carbon) frames in the world 🙂
aye what about marinoni
Story time for MASI Italy, and MASI USA!
Gios Torino

WILIER IS MY BRAND
Wilier Triestina started in a modest workshop on the banks of the river Brenta in San Fortunato by Pietro Dal Molin from Bassano del Grappa, Italy in the summer of 1906.
The company name originated as an acronym for the phrase “W l’Italia liberata e redenta”, where the W is an abbreviation for "Viva!"[2] (Long live Italy, liberated and redeemed).[3] Triestina comes from the name of the city of Trieste. When Wilier was founded, Trieste was not part of Italy; the name ‘Wilier Triestina’ reflected a patriotic desire for it to be rejoined.
The famous Italian cyclist Fiorenzo Magni rode Wilier bikes in his 1948 Giro d’Italia win as well as his 1949 and 1950 Tour of Flanders wins.[6]
Marco Pantani rode the 1997 Tour de France on a Wilier.[7]
More recently World Champion Alessandro Ballan and runner up Damiano Cunego rode Wilier bicycles to victory in the 2008 UCI Road World Championships.
Since the 2018 season, Wilier Triestina supplies bikes to the UCI Pro Continental team Direct Énergie.
The Astana Pro Team uses Wilier Triestina bikes beginning from the 2020 seasoN
Viner bicycles, Gardin Veneto…
