Welcome to another edition of First Look Friday, where we bring you a round-up of the week’s biggest and most exciting stories and showcase some of the latest tech to grace the desks of the BikeRadar team.
Last weekend, we saw the UK’s National Hill Climb Championship, which took place on the frankly brutal Winnats Pass in the Peak District, a 900-metre climb with an average gradient of 16 per cent and sections ramping up to 23 per cent.
We took a look at some of the weird and wonderful hill climb bikes that were raced on the day and the custom 4.7kg Specialized Aethos Rebecca Richardson rode to third place.
Jack Luke gave us a rundown of his latest project, a 1994 Lee Cooper 653 neo-retro build, which you may have spotted in the fourth season of our hill climb diaries.
