We Raced Used Bikes At An Elite Race - How Bad Was It?

We set the team the ultimate cheap bike challenge: buy a second-hand race bike for under £750 and put it to the test in a full-gas local crit race! From a 20-year-old Trek Madone to a classic Cannondale SuperSix Evo, their bargain-hunting led to some brilliant finds, highly questionable upgrades, and a few sketchy tubular tires. Watch to find out who actually bagged the best deal, what the race commissaires had to say, and who had the legs to take the win!
