Mainly using parts sourced from AliExpress, I have put together what I think is one of the best value carbon road bikes ever built!

Over the years I have built ALOT of cheap bikes, mainly using parts from AliExpress and other some direct to consumer chinese brands. However the value on this bike is honestly ridiculous, and is easily one of the best ones I have ever built.
It has a full carbon frame, deep section carbon wheels, and a 2x11 speed groupset with hydraulic disc brakes. I have ridden it 1000’s miles at this point, and managed to put it together for less than £1,300.
So in this episode I will discuss the bike in detail, cover each part that I used (while also providing some alternative options), cover the total cost, the total weight, and finally compare it to some other bikes on the market that you can currently buy.
