Description

I built a full carbon gravel bike from AliExpress for under £1000 — but is it actually any good? In this video I test my £1000 AliExpress gravel bike (LightCarbon LCG071 frame, LTWOO GR9 groupset, and Ryet carbon wheels) to see if a budget build like this can really perform on a variety of trails.

Here's the links to all the parts I used:
