Custom Bike Build From AliExpress! | Worth The Risk?

AliExpress is cheap! It's often seen as a place to buy gimmicky things you don't mind waiting a few weeks to arrive. But did you know that you can buy everything you need to build a complete bike? Well Owen did, he's set out to build an enduro bike for under £1000 using only AliExpress. Will Owen be able to build a half-decent bike, or will the savings end up costing big bucks in the long run?
