I built this £2000 super bike from parts sourced directly from Asia, and I'm just glad I didn't end up with a pile of junk and a headache. You've seen me build it like a knockoff mechanic, but I'm not knocking off anyone, I'm just knocking out some serious savings.

So, are cheap Chinese carbon road bikes the next big thing or just a budget wannabe? Well, I'm here to be your guinea pig and find out for you. I mean, who needs a lab when you have a perfectly good road, right?

If you're thinking about building a bike from AliExpress components or buying a frame direct from China, this video should have a few valuable snippets. You know, because I'm always happy to take one for the team, or in this case, for the road.

The blood, sweat, and tears building this beast were nearly in vain after I crashed on some oil going around a left-hand bend, but hey... life continues, and me and the bike are both fine! Well, the bike might have a few scratches, but it's still rolling, which is more than I can say for some of my ego.
