Gallery: Drillium and sawn-off bars at the national hill-climb
When it comes to modifying race bikes to save grams, there’s no event quite like the British hill-climb championship.
The 2017 edition took place on a one-mile course at Hedley on the Hill in Northumberland, with Dan Evans and Joscelin Lowden taking the titles.
But it was the competitors’ bikes with their lightweight builds and makeshift weight savings that North East based photographer Chris Auld turned his lens too.
Holey money
Neat minimalism
Breathe and stop
Too much red tape
The drill thing
Big disc, little ring
Keep it tight
Hooked up
Cropped
Hard nosed
No hoods
Dual controls
Old school principles
Something to get to grips with
When four out of five suffices
Stripped bare
Small comfort
A little leverage
Take a brake
A real hole model
Winging it
Get rid of the tape
Black and white and red all over
Just a couple of sticking points
