nikinik - Is it worth it to build an AliExpress MTB?

Description

In this one I am going to give you guys a look of my AliExpress hardtail MTB build. Afterwards, I'll review it and tell you whether or not I would do anything different if I were to build it again.
The build in total cost about 2400 Euros and the final weight is 9.5 kg.
Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments!

I have not been compensated by any of the companies mentioned in the video in any way.
