I built a budget* 2026 race bike
Contains paid promotion for Yoeleo wheels
As the nights draw to their longest, rain hammers against my window and icy drafts sneak into my poorly insulated house, I cast my mind forward to those warm summer days ahead. It is no wonder then, that December, and more specifically, the festive period, is a time for quiet reflection and gentle consideration. I’ve used this time for the most important consideration of all. How to be marginally faster on a bike next year.
But while I could happily spend tens of thousands on a new bike, such funds are not available to me, so I wanted to make this a relatively sensible build, with choices that pack a punch when it comes to value.
