https://youtu.be/J2Mwr-Alr3cThanks for sharing. I have a 1980's Ritchey Ascent Comp. I agree with him that these old mountain bikes are great, and there's a lot of enjoyment to be had from them.

Mustie1 is great. Troubleshooting is becoming a lost art. Met him at last year's Transporter Fest in Brookline, MA.

Interesting guy. He has forgotten way more about VWs that I have ever known. Any idea why in some vids he carries a big-arse hunting knife on his hip in some videos?

wife already had enough of the "car" youtubes i watch everyday. now its going to be cars getting towed out of ditches. thanks a lot! :)

[William]

I've been watching them since well before pandemic...Corning Mueseum of Glass videos. I find them very relaxing to watch, the technical process, artist skill, and asthetic choices keep me coming back.

Some are 1.5 hours long and a few go as long as 3+ hours but to me the process and end result is worth it.

As an aside, I was signed up for a series of classes at a local glass studio but then COVID hit so that is on hold until classes can start up again.

That used to be my hobby: rebuilding late 80s MTBs. Then searching for parts became too much of a time svck and i quit but the one bike i still lust for is a Ritchey team comp. Much harder to find than Ascents although any Ritchey rides beautifully.

Thanks to the OP for those videos. I just watched the Ritchey build and it truly brought joy to my heart! It made me want to work on my bikes, ride my bikes, and just appreciate the quality of work that went into that build and the making of the video.

So good!

Cheers,

I noticed that he never faced that frame or cleaned those threads. Kinda weird after all that.

Brings back memories though for sure. My Ritcheys were fun to ride if not the most durable things. That said they were cutting edge racing bikes not Raleigh 3 speeds.

Thanks

Yes, man, I like it, I've been wanting to try to do something with my bike for a long time, but my laziness and lack of knowledge have never allowed me to do it.

Ah, the YouTube rathole. Man, I can wander aimlessly forever sitting on the couch, watching YouTube cast to the TV. I cover the whole spectrum with SNL, GCN, rally cars, Isle of Mann TT, Nurburgring, various comedy, Sopranos, outdoor adventure, skiing, etc etc etc. It is a true rathole.

Anything worth watching while I'm on the trainer?


Bicycle content, I really only watch vlog type content nowadays. Dustin Klein's channel, aptly named "Everything's Been Done", has a fun vibe, and is not taking himself too seriously. Vegan Cyclist is okay too, takes himself a little more seriously. Ted King is always good to catch up on.

TrainerRoad podcast used to be good (pre-2023), now it's a slog since Amber and now Chad left. Worth watching some of the prior episodes though.

I'll watch the race recaps for the Lifetime Grand Prix, but I'm caught up already.

Huberman Labs is interesting podcast material, goes into the neuroscience of a lot of everyday things.

Cleetus McFarland is a good one if you're into all sorts of racing and flying. Mainly about building his drag cars but there's a bunch of other awesomeness like flying his plane, helicopter, racing those ridiculous jet boats, and has some absolutely amazing giveaway cars that he films with. He bought a circle track right next door to Bradenton motorsports park (drag strip) and revamped it which he has a bunch of videos on. Dude is a class act too

And the same for Stars and Watercarriers before the Giro?

I confess that I don't, but I have to say that A Sunday in Hell is part cycling, part art. It's a beautiful film. If you haven't watched it, you're missing something special (in my humble opinion).

I do the audio version of this regularly, and I agree. I don't dislike the current crew, but I miss the Amber/Chad days. Its sorta repetitive and dullish now, and I get sick of the Keegan sycophancy.

I find that a good CX race is about right. Roughly an hour (50 minutes for the ladies), with mud and blood and drunk spectators galore. GCN+ and Flo both put them up on youtube after a day or two.

Very enjoyable and funny random pick from your list above—the guy is deadpan ecstatic by the condition of a Buick that’s been sitting for 26 yrs, which he has travelled 600 miles to S Dakota with his young son to buy. Pure ‘merica.

This reminds me.

Cape Epic sends an e-bike into the field with a cameraman to get some POV riding. Makes for some lengthy content.

I’m back to thank or blame this thread for making me aware of Project Binky. Now 4 episodes in, only 9 years of episodes to go.

Some more content for the car nerds, if you're into engine swaps and fabrication.

They're a UK based shop, the owner Phil is more about knowledge rather than being a loud, brash "Youtuber", which is hard to find nowadays. Lots of BMW content currently, but he will work on anything.

I really enjoy watching Harry's Silverstone Auction previews - I try to name every car before he does :-) The variety of cars gets a bit repetitive after you watch a few of them but truly drool-worthy.

And of course, in the same family, Iain Tyrrell's Classic Workshop https://www.youtube.com/@iain_tyrrell. Truly immersive history and tinkering content on legendary vintage cars. Great vibe.

For a while I was also into Tedward's unique test drive videos as well: https://www.youtube.com/@TedwardDrives

For bike stuff I like Dustin Klein's videos as well as this guy Chris https://www.youtube.com/@pnwbikepacking for adventure cycling. There are a few euro channels I like for FOMO roadie touring in Europe such as https://www.youtube.com/@clippedinandfree and others.
