We gave a pro-cyclist a £100 bike and then sent him up the steepest climb we could find. Will he get to the top? How long will it take? Will the bike survive, or is it just as good as a super bike? Join Hank and Conor to find out!
When Ollie finished his ultra gran fondo last year, the first thing that came to Conor’s mind was “if the king of being dropped can finish, it can’t be that hard!”. The Tour des Stations organisers heard about this, and invited Conor along to give it a go, but this time on a budget bike, fully equipped with a Shimano Sora groupset! Will he finish all 8848m of climbing or will Ollie finally have one up on Conor?
We get a lot of requests from fans of the channel about doing more content featuring affordable bikes. So, we gave Si, Alex and Ollie £500 each and asked them to buy the best budget bikes they could find, then entered them into an elite road race. Do you need to spend thousands of £/€/$ to go racing? Let’s find out how they got on!
