Hank’s sales technique for that woman is literally every Halfords 😂

The face Manon makes at 0:56 onwards as Hank blabbers is pure gold.

Clever to send Ollie to lead the shop ride so he couldn’t give tips to the others too early on as he is the only one with actual work experience in the bike shop! 🤣 Hilarious! Well done all! Pronto looks a really amazing bike shop!

My local bike shop is excellent. They treat my family and me professionally and friendly. We always get a bike education when we visit. Of course, we have bought four good bikes from them this year, and next year we plan on buying two more. A fat tad etrike for my wife to replace the $5K fat tad etrike that was totaled, thus saving her life, when she was hit 67 feet on 11MAY21 and broke 6 ribs. She wants her fat tad etrike back. All my cycles (velomobile, fat tire, Amsterdam, & Wal-Mart single speed cruiser brake bike) are for my cycling commute. I want a gravel bike for pleasure riding, but that might be in our budget in November 2022.

Bikes come cut from the factory, usually with 4cm of spacers at maximum. And no one should need a more than that, the problem is people who are not racers buying bikes with geometry made for racers instead of something like an endurance bike.

we've got one place that's kind of like that here in Albany New York it's got a cafe above with a bike shop below, I don't think they have any of the other things though. however that shop's not convenient for me to go to. the shop that I do go to just happens to be the only one around that sells 45Nrth products, but it is kind of clique-ish. if you're not in the clique, then you're just a sale, when the attitude should be about growth of the community... bringing new people into the community. for example nobody's ever mentioned to me when they have rides or where to go to find out if they have rides although I've heard them talk about rides with other customers. not that I'm particularly interested, but that's how you grow those communities how do you know if somebody wants to unless you mention that they do it?

I genuinely think that Hank would be a great fitness instructor 😁

100¥ for a tubeless setup would be a cracking deal.

My husband & I are having so much fun watching your channel. My favorite presenters are Manon & Si. (I was not paid to say that! Lol) Love this channel, thanks for the motivation to get off my a$$! 😂

Given some time, I think the crews natural abilities would have come through and they would have been a pretty good team. Alex could have been in in repairs. Manon would have got the hang of the cash register and been good at sales. Ollie seems good at PR and organizing and engaging in shop-sponsored activities. Hank could be a hidden guru with coffee and yoga. All are important elements in the overall running of that particular shop.

100 yen tubeless setup... now thats a bargain (currently 100yen = 1eur)

"Come on quick, before we get run over" That's still the sad reality of innner city traffic in the UK.

Part of the reason i am a cyclist is the local bike shop that was about a mile from the house i grew up in. It was a place we would always feel welcome, whether we bought our bike from there or not. It was at least a weekly destination to look over the newest shiny thing but talk to the mechanics and such. It was most likely the first place i felt welcome outside of family and possibly church.

i downloaded this to watch it uniterupted. bravo. great episode

I laughed so hard at Mannon watching the GCN tech vid for the tubeless setup

Hank did a brilliant job of showing exactly what not to do. He could make a good used car salesman in America. Ollie has it right with "Listen to the customer," and he would do the best in a bike shop.

Man owning a bike shop would be so cool. Challenging no doubt, but having all of these different aspects of the shop to grow a community is just incredible

I like that the only person with shop experience is the guy who just wants to go ride.

Sounds easy enough. If your shop is like mine, get used to saying, “it is out of stock right now.”

Hahahaha! The bike sales example reminds me of a kid I used to work with. The things that would come out of his mouth was amazing. He would be on a roll and doing good and all of the sudden he would say something like " Lance Armstrong rides a bike just like this. It's why he wins all the time. You'll be just as fast." The bike would be a Tiagra or or 105 flat bar road bike or something. My favorite was when a different coworker told two girls shopping mountain bikes that Rockshox SID was short for Sudden Infant Death. They looked like they wanted to run out the door. They were not even in the market for a $1800 mtn bike. This guy always went straight to the XC, XTR bikes with small frame and 135mm stem and never asked the customer what they wanted.. I could tell they wanted to spend around $650. I about fell over in shock! I didn't want to make my coworker look stupid but I didn't want the ladies to be offended, not come back and talk bad about us. I got on the intercom and called him to the repair department for a customer thank you. When he came over I told him it was Superlight Integrated Design and he needed to apologize and correct that. He could say someone had played a prank on him and he didn't know. Then I said he needed to show them the 14 inch Palomar swapping an 70mm stem onto it with a gel pad saddle not the 18" Zaskar Team if he actually wanted to sale a bike. Luckily that all worked out and they left smiling and came back for accessories later.

Ok, it was a long ad, but great. Manon is definitely the sharpest knife in the GCN box. I remember when bike shops were run by bitter old blokes in warehouse coats.......

You can’t make Jacob faster!!! No one can keep up with him as it is!!!!

15:09 I reckon Hank could do a half decent impersonation of Don Corleone (The Godfather).

I never thought a GCN thumbnail would be a quote from Jeremy Clarkson!

Finally, a presenter with better hairdo than Ollie. Roger!

There might be better sources for training advice, but GCN is great entertainment for cycling nerds :)! Keep it up!

Legends and Bellends all in one vid. Hank is hilarious ☺️

Alex and Manon you really shine in the British green!!

Spotted where they were almost straight away - Pronto is in Frome and is a brand new setup since i was last home two years ago. The "real" staff are super friendly and great coffee at the cafe when you walk in. The Pronto jerseys are superb - Castelli. They looked after my bike whilst i went shopping in town and i swear they cleaned my brake disks whilst i was out as when i came down the hill, everyone in the shop thought there was a baby elephant outside ! On my ride later in the day, not a squeal to be heard.

love this episode!

Sure Hank I'll do some yogi with you! and you're reasonably cluey with the bike fit, That frothy brew looks rather good too! But don't try selling me nothing haha

Really enjoyed that 👍

Hank pulling an oatmilk flat white did me in. Mostly because here across the pond, I have yet to see a "real" bike shop that has espresso unless it is next door to a McDonalds. I hope they all got excellent wages.

Hopefully, Alex told the customer that it will be 3-6 month before we can get you a new crank arm for your bike!
