Alex bought a £200 ($250) bike off eBay and has been upgrading it on @gcntech over the past few weeks. He set himself a budget of £1000 ($1250) to see whether an upgraded cheap bike can challenge bikes worth $10,000+ in a race. He has entered the hotly contested elite race at Castle Combe and is not just out to finish, he wants to win! Can he do it?
