the fact that you guys didn't get jon to make a return to presenting for this collection is CRIMINAL

Absolutely stunning collection, currently restoring an actually Greg Lemond team myself. Restoration and ride coming soon on the channel. Thanks for this viewing pleasure.

[GrotrianSeiler]

This is a really nice video. Greg Lemond should be proud of his bikes. 25 years on and I still love mine. The ride of that all steel bike is sublime.

[jamesmeisel]

Proboably Jon Cannings collection, he is a huge Greg LeMond fan

I own a vintage Trek 400 from 1994. It's baby blue in colour with bright yellow decals. It has Shimano Edge components featuring oval chainrings. It was an amazing road bike at the time for me. That bike also got me into the sport of road cycling.

Keep it up @GCN Tech.

Excellent. The components from that era are just so nostalgic.

One small point about brake cables; if you run them out of the handlebars, old style, they provide some safety in keeping your hands from slipping off the bars. I'll never conceal my brake cables. Well, not since I stopped racing in '94. On a Paris -Roubaix, some riders used to specify exposed cables because they felt more secure with the cables there as slip guards. As a long distance tourist this is also a benefit.

Each of these bikes could use a 30min special. Thanks for sharing anonymous collector!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! - that's the super nice bell being rung for each one!!

[zukzworld]

As you said Alex, this is a truly amazing collection. I cannot imagine the passion and dedication of the individual restoring and maintaining the bikes. Hats off!

[chrisjamz]

Well done! Time for part 2. My dream bike from that era was red/green Merckx Corsa Extra of team 7 11. Late 80s were my peak racing years.

[elmycyclesipswich]

A fantastic collection a real passion and captures one of the greatest periods of racing. Please, Please, Please lets have an hour long version though.

[takearidewithme]

Love it...and yes all of us on Steel Is Real know who owns these beauties. My bike is that 86 BH I got in 1988 for my high school graduation present...still ride it and its in my profile pic

You could do an hour long video on each bike and I'd lap it up. What a fantastic collection.

[Csapi]

Jon Cannings would have made an hour long video out of these bikes and we would watch every second of it.

[hedleykerr]

Great piece, was expecting to see a special guest appearance from Mr. Jon Cannings!

[DavidMartin-tkfs]

Just my era. I remember seeing those alien sti's on the Merx for the first time on coverage of the TDF and then them appearing on bikes in the shops round Cambridge, one of which I worked in, soon after. Still love the look, feel and simplicity of downtube shifters though and will be using mine today!
Thank you Alex for something a bit different... More please. 👍

Vitus Carbone Kevlar 9 with a SSC Mavic group set was a revolution!
The ride feeling is absolutely unique! Still got my frame from the mid 80ties stored up in mint condition....
