I BOUGHT A Wrecked Superbike For £20 And Repaired It

Video Description

Conor bought a crash-damaged, top-spec carbon frame for only £20 to see if he could create a dream bike on a tiny budget. With absolutely no experience, he uses a simple DIY repair kit to fix a huge crack in the down tube. To find out if the bike is a rideable success or a dangerous failure, he enlists Dr. Peter Giddings, a composite materials expert, to give his professional and final verdict.
