Last time Rich, Blake and Isaac were handed £150, but instead of letting it burn a hole in their pocket, they’ve been instructed to purchase a second-hand mountain bike, in good enough condition for them to use in a series of challenges. This week Rich and Isaac add some much-needed upgrades to their cheap bike to see if it will give them better times on the climbs, descents and finish off with a little bit of trials.
