I've ridden the Bianchi Oltre XR4 for the first and Paul can't wait to hear how I got on. The big question is can a £13k bike really be all that much better than my £6k Specialized Venge or even my £1.5k Giant Defy. We also answer some of the points raised in the comments of the build video.

Lot's to talk about this week. First rides for Mrs PPs eBike, Pete has taken his Bianchi Arcadex gravel bike out for a proper ride and now gets it ! Exciting new from Trek coming but we have also finally had a delivery from Campagnolo ! Peter and Paul also answer some of you questions.
Lots for Ped and Paul to talk about this week. 2 new bikes, 1 bike on order and then finally Paul get's something off his chest. How could turbo trainer online training programs like Swift, Sufferfest and Trainer Road possibly make Sportives dangerous ? It's all about group riding, which is more tricky than it looks...
Bad news for my Bianchi build as component supply problems continue. Paul is however delivering a bike to me this week and we need you help trying to find the perfect car for one of Paul's best customers...

So your bike is ready for the summer. Question is...are you ?! In this episode Ped and Paul chat about about to get fitter and ride for longer, starting with someone really new to cycling all the way up to how to get ready for you first 100 miles.
This week the plan for the podcast went out of the window and Ped and Paul ended up talking about something way more interesting....Bike tech ! Not just any old bike tech though, perhaps the best bit of tech to can but for your bike to help you enjoy cycling more.
So Series 1 of Cycle Sunday may be ending but the Podcast will be carrying on. Big apologies for missing last week too !
Paul is so happy with his new E-Bike I think I might have to get one too ! We also need you help with Series 2. Send us you ideas and challenges to ped.greaves@gmail.com
E Bikes are certainly the hot topic in the bike world at the moment. They have their fans and they also have their fare share to haters. However there is much understanding so Paul and I thought we would take you through all you need to know, from price range, batteries, motors and the most contentious subject of the all...the weight !
Paul challenged me to do a Live installation of my new Michelin Power Road tyres to my stunning Campagnolo Bora WTO wheels. I mean what could go wrong...it's simple right ? We also chat project bikes and how to get your partner to agree to you buying another bike !
This week Pete and Paul are joined by their first ever guest on the Cycle Sunday Podcast. Pete's mate and car YouTuber Joe Achilles. Joe is a massive bike fan and it turns out he has some amazing stories to tell from his time competing in World Cup Downhill Mountain Biking and also being a World Champion in Brompton Racing !
What is the best way to carry your bike on the car...or should it go in the car. In this podcast Pete and Paul chat through the minefield that is cycle carriers. Some of their tips are just helpful but some might prevent you breaking the law or losing your beautiful bike in a nasty accident !
We have finally reached the point where we can build my dream bike...or can we ?!
This week Project Bianchi ground to a halt. In this episode Pete and Paul talk through the supply problems that threaten the cycle industry during it's biggest boom.
In this episode Ped and Paul talk through the complexities of wheel and tyre choice. From the incredible aero tech found in a modern wheelset to the hot topic of weather to go tubeless or tubed !
It's time to choose the oily bits ! In this episode Paul and Ped talk through choosing the right groupset. What is the difference between 105, Ultegra and DuraAce ? How much does it cost to service ? Should you choose mechanical or electronic shifting ?
Ped and Paul talk through the full bike fit from Episode 3. A fascinating look into the detail of the fit process, the state of the art jig used and the counterintuitive nature of how the fit works.
In Episode 2 we start the fit process on the frame up custom build of my Bianchi Oltre XR4. It may surprise you that the first thing we need to do is select the pedals, shoes and cleat system. In this podcast we talk about when you should consider a bike fit or custom build.
