Thanks to Federico for giving us the tour in English. Not as easy as you might think if you're not a native speaker.
Nice to have a shop that also sells everyday bikes & not just $20,000 racing bikes 😋
26" for the city is the move, hes got it right. Dope spot will check it out next time I'm there.
Yup, 26aintdead. Have one as my Urban Attack Vehicle and a 700c for day rides in the countryside.
Omnium makes very cool cargo bike especially for those who love to take their dogs or little kids with them cycling. I like the fact it's front loading so you can always have your eyes on your loved ones.
"Traag" is also dutch for "slow"... So no, not all cycling in Europe is training/racing or commuting. There is party-pace in between. 😀
yeah it's definitely less common here finding that middle ground ATB party pace in the Netherlands than it was in the US for me, but it's definitely there
When you get to my age, all bike riding takes place at party pace 😂
I stumbled upon this place during a trip to Barca. The sign at 7:39 jogged my memory. It was a cool shop. Very friendly, even with a ton of tourists coming in to kick tires.
Hey Laura & Russ, I can't help but notice the heavy flicker in all the shots in this vid, are you still shooting in NTSC framerates (30/60fps)? Spain and all of Europe use a 50Hz power grid, so you need to shoot in PAL framerates (25/50fps) to get rid of that. Maybe your camera also just defaulted back to NTSC and you know about this :) Anyhow, this can be quite unpleasant for photosensitive people, so I thought I'd let you know.
Russ being a real American. Americans love labels, alt bikes, basket packing, etc, sounds like they just have “bikes”. Haha 🎉
Yeah that shit was cringe
It's actually an interesting microcosm of how quite different the markets and culture are between North America (and most car-centric countries), vs. places that managed to retain/develop bicycle transport as part of their daily life.
In car-centric North America, a significant, overwhelming portion of the market is focused on high performance sport racing machines - lightweight super aero road bikes/gravel bikes and extremely durable enduro mountain bikes designed to withstand trails better suited to motocross, among others. In an environment so heavily focused on sport, lower intensity/recreational/commuter/travel/all forms of noncompetitive cycling - aka the "partypace" - can't help but exist almost as a _counterculture_ to it. Thus, all the labels necessary to separate/define themselves against the overwhelming sporting context - "alt bars," "basket packing," etc.
But in places like in the video where bikes successfully got to be retained as a mode of transport instead of transforming entirely into sport, the culture doesn't seem to need the labels to differentiate what a bike can be used for, as the noncompetitive cycling use is much more vibrantly still in the public consciousness/market. Thus, "alt" bars aren't "alt", they're just bars; "basket packing" isn't an activity, it's just another way to hold things on your bike, etc.
Thanks for letting us drool over those gorgeous bikes. Oh, how I wish we had shops like that.
What a fun shop. Love the old frames that folks could build.
Great vlog. Love bike shops and this is exceptional.
Tks Russ for this interesting guided tour.
Cool place to buy souvenirs for friends from, next time I am in Barcelona.
I've honestly never seen a shop with such beautiful wood floors and antique rugs and armoires. And how do I get a "race for shawarma" poster!? Or maybe for me just ride for shawarma.
I walked past this shop a few times on my last visit. looks amazing from outside
Great shop Thanks for the tour. We could use a chill shop like that here…
I used a Burley flatbed with my brompton when we didn’t have space for bikes. It’s a great combo
Arrived in Barcelona tonight. Going there tomorrow! Tricky part will be fitting a new bike in my luggage.
Cool shop with an interesting name!
Wonderful interview showing the international connection bicyclist of all kinds share.
My local bike shop near Green Bay, WI is one of, if not the only, North American retailer for Finna. They're pretty cool bikes.
Thanks for bringing a smile!
Clearly the best show in Town , and Federico is soooooo Helful!😻🔥🌼☀️
Those handlebars in the thumbnail though...❤
We were just there in October last year!
Love these kind of videos.
I been waiting for this 🎉
Love that there are no e bikes in his shop
Great selection
A great video! where can i get a racing for shawarmas poster?????!!!!!!
..congrats to your blurple omnium💜..
Great video. My kinda toy store!
Just trying to help.
Checkout David Millar and his Chpt3 Brompton venture.
You guys have history with Btomptons that might fit perfectly.
He lives in Girona.
Fun!
Seen a few of those Omnium cargo bikes here in PDX. People who have them absolutely rave about them.
Hey Rus
Love your content. Keep it up. As a cyclist who has only bought 2 bikes brand new (most of the bikes I've ridden have been 2nd hand). At 57 years of age. I'm looking for a new frame.
When you look at the world of horology there are brands like Rolex who started by making a practical tool better.
My question is who's the Rolex or Patek Phillipe of the practical cycling world?
Man I forgot about the omnium cxc. That'd be a great all-arounder.
Time to switch your cameras to 25fps and 100fps slomo :)
found some of your peeps😎
an omnium cargo is my dream bike
It’s sad to know that people in Spain (1st world country) are also concerned about bike theft/robbery, and I say this as a brazilian who lives in São Paulo and thinks twice about every route he’s going to pass through. Guess it’s just a worldwide big city issue, not necessarily poverty/underdevelopment relatated.
Same in London, there's regularly people on expensive road bikes getting targeted, then knocked over by people on mopeds to steal their bikes... 😢
Dizzying camera work.
That Klein tho...
