If you were given £2,000 to buy any bike you want, what would you do? Here at GCN, we’d almost certainly go for a used bike.

    Thanks to @buycycle Si, Alex, and special guest star from @gtn Mark Threlfall have done exactly that. Between them they’ve gone for a modern future-proof bike, a five year old superbike, and a time trial bike.

    But most importantly, which is the best £2,000 used bike we could buy?

    1. This really reminded me of the old GCN videos, where it was more like a group of mates just messing about with bikes and having a great time doing it. Top marks to all involved. Also, hope Mark was wearing socks for this else his feet would be freezing

    2. I got my full carbon tt bike for £200 on Facebook marketplace, sram rival groupset with dolan frame. Same price for a Cannondale CX bike which I've put 32mm road tyres on. You don't need to spend anywhere close to 2k for a good bike no matter the discipline if you spend some time looking around.

    3. That Vitus of Marks was the best bike (I’m not a triathlete btw) but it completely threw the component handbook out the window, Shimano, campag , sram all working in one bike… Ollie would have imploded seeing that!! Loved this challenge!!
