Junk Bike Battle: Random Tandems 2023

In a fierce battle of innovation and resourcefulness, two teams have just three days to go head-to-head over a pile of scrap bikes and used parts, on a mission to transform discarded relics into awe-inspiring tandem bicycles and create the perfect set of wheels for a picnic adventure. With just old bike parts and the tools available, UK framebuilders extraordinaire Paul Burford and Ted James team up with ex pro Alex Paton and Crit racer Alec Briggs to conjure up new bikes from old. Under the watchful eye of judges Si Richardson and expert Andrew Denham, as the action unfolds, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong - from wonky wheels, to faulty frames and crazy cranks! This all culminates in a day of wacky races but will either of the bikes be roadworthy? And will they look the part? Who will be crowned the winner?
