 @rookie100: Wait, no one seems concerned about their safety on the bikes with "those" brakes? OMG, this must stop...there needs to be a law....

 Any bike that isn't an ebike is a retro bike.

 Rigid clunker versus SC Bullit? Not exactly a fair fight there Steve

 Suspension is cheating, rigid all the way

 Promising concept but a clunker vs clunker would have been better but the modern bike exit really ruined any retro themed video. CLICK BAIT!

 normally not on board with click bait labeling (something for everyone), but going to have to agree with you here. Really wanted to see an actual race on old school bikes...

 Steve with suspension and rim brakes… and Claudio goes full on rigid with disc brakes. A close call but having biked in the alps with both types of bike I would say Claudio for the win. The front sus really helps. The rim brakes do actually stop you eventually. I remember burning through 3 sets of brake blocks in a week of riding and getting the worst arm pump ever - good fun though !!

 pretty sure those are drum brakes not disc brakes. Just a slight... performance difference.

 Well, reminds me of my old times. No suspension, no brakes (almost) and lots of fun!

 - V-brakes/U-Brakes - check (at least for one bike) - check
- absolutely no suspension - check for only one bike
- skinny tires - check
- really skinny handlebars - failed
- 26" wheels/tires - ???
- 9mm QR 100mm front axle - ???
- 10mm QR rear axle - ???

They should've been wearing all spandex as well with no helmets and having mullet hairdos! Yeah, not sure if they're retro enough!

 Why are you trying to kill Steve and Claudio?
  • 2 0
 Think all these young mountain bikers should be required to do at least 2 steep downhill runs with rerto bikes with v-brakes, just to let them know how well they have it.

 Anybody see the videos of Claudio interviewing xc racers mid race on an ebike? Id love to meet the person who concocted that ridiculousness if only to smack them stupid-er.

 Love it. Great to see Gary too.

 Sounded like a fun idea, turns out it was just a bad commercial. Which somehow is a fitting concept for Davos ...
