The GCN Tech Show is diving into the essential topic of beginner bikes, providing a comprehensive guide on what to look for when you're just starting out in cycling, especially if you're on a budget. Plus, we've got a bumper segment of Hot Tech, featuring an insanely over-engineered mechanical rear derailleur, a rare Shimano Dura-Ace carbon crankset, a new Colnago track bike optimized for high speed, and a lightweight Scott e-road bike.
