We Bought The Cheapest MTB On Amazon | Can It Shred?!

How cheap is too cheap? We're always saying a decent entry-level mountain bike starts around the £350 mark, to which a lot of people tend to suggest otherwise. This is true if going second-hand, but if you're going new... Well to find out, we gave Blake a few hundred pounds and sent him bargain hunting on Amazon, to buy the cheapest 'mountain bike' he could find!

Now get Doddy to build up a bike with 2nd parts for the same cost as the price of that POS. Have to be genuinely bought (ebay/pink bike etc) for the purpose, not already lying around his workshop. So something anyone could do. Love to see what he could come up with.

[markstone]

When the bike stand is worth more than the bike you are building

[peterblunsden]

Kudos to the bloke who made a trail worthy bike for £200 out of 2nd hand parts, shows you don't have to drain the account to get involved

[russellml]

I have to admit that the wheels looked really cool when you're going fast and doing jumps.

[denmarboniceli]

Yes it can still shred! Shreded to pieces actually.
But then again, I am very excited for the upgrades

[catnip...]

I was feeling extremely nervous watching this!
I'm glad you stopped when you did, I don't think I could have watched much more and that you didn't have an accident on that thing!

[markhenrysolis]

"The kickstand" "feels weird feels like already broken" hahaha that's why blake is the best presenter it makes you laugh and learn at the same time. Ride safe blake

[tmill]

I agree the kick stand is the coolest part! LOL

[chrisgenovese]

That's called a BSO: a bicycle shaped object.

[mikekent]

Great slow motion, so we can see the flex of the wheels etc. Plus the eurobike has made it to this channel!

[micktheshaggy]

OMG, this bike is no longer a single-track vehicle, it leaves two tracks now! The wheels are no longer in one plane, most probably because of the twist in the rear triangle or the rocker link. Not sure if trying to upgrade is a good idea...

[TheSabat]

You are fearless when you jump like that with this thing. I'm impressed 🤘You're Legend

[markstone]

When the cost of delivery is more value for money than the bike.

[ButiMiha]

Blake, this is the best GMBN video ever. Watched it several times and I always cry my eyes out laughing. All props for this one

[gedrot]

Me: *sees the head tube miss alignment at **15:15* "Yeah that bike is done for."

Blake: "I'll upgrade it!"

Me: "Dear Blake, may you find the thrill in death that you haven't found in life."

[SAXONWARLORDAD]

THAT WAS A GREAT VIDEO - THANKS , fun, scary, nerve racking all in one

[davidcarter]

The pucker factor on the techy slo-mo's is next level. Blake is a brave man.

[filipegil]

It’s not the bike it’s the rider. Definitely if you’re Blake Samson.
My hat off Sir, your bravery is even greater than your awesome set of skills

[aliens]

i remember the gravel bike video at windhill bike park it was hilarious !

[TheSavacc]

Blake catching the spirit of Sam it. be safe Blake !!!
