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! ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️ 00:00 - The £750 Cheap Bike Challenge 01:45 - The Cannondale SuperSix Evo 03:10 - Connor's BMC SLC01 04:00 - Alex's Retro Trek Madone 05:35 - Ollie's £750 Superbike 06:40 - The Bike Reveal 12:50 - The Commissaire Bike Checks 15:10 - The Crit Race Begins! 16:30 - Who Gets Dropped First? 18:15 - The Final Sprint & Winner 21:29 - Post-Race Debrief Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks 👉 https://gcn.eu/JoinYTmemberships Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing! 👉 https://gcn.eu/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter GCN Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnuploader Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides If you had a strict budget of £750, what second-hand bike would you try to buy for a local crit race? 👇 Watch more on GCN... 📹 https://youtu.be/iZsS2vO0ooY 📹 Watch our Editor’s Choice Playlist 👉 https://gcn.eu/editorschoice 📹 Or why not check out our Features Playlist 👉 ​​https://gcn.eu/gcnfeatures 🎵 Music - licensed by Epidemic Sound 🎵 Where Does It End - Max Anson Understand It (Instrumental Version) - softboy.
