i might start watching GCN/classic bike content when they have wrapped their head around the idea that bikes before 2020 actually can be ridden and are not only some kind of curiosity and source of endless amusement (down tube shifter hahahaha toestraps hahahaha!). Which is probably never.

The toe clips pedal setup was just unacceptable.
Either get the correct sized clips and shoes/cleats for the rider or use clipless pedals.
I was amazed this rider could stay with the group with all that hurting and wrong foot placement on the pedals.
Would be really cool to see EM from his racing days on this bike setup correctly dropping all.

I rode a race with new shoes and cleats in the wrong position once. Didn't make a video about it.
Sounds like it's too lame to bother watching.

interested in classic watches? what about we get a classic rolex and make a 5 min video laughing our head off about how hilarious/dumb/ it is to have to set the time manually WUHAHA by pulling the crown no less, and then have to wind it EVERY DAY!!!! such a Youtube channel would explode.
