Carbon Road Bike Repair CHEAP! Semi Pro Finish! Part 1

In this video, I take on the challenge of building a custom carbon fibre bike frame from
scratch, all while keeping the budget under £1000. Starting with sourcing affordable
materials from eBay, I walk you through the entire DIY process — from cutting and mixing
carbon fibre and hardener, wrapping the frame tightly, to applying filler for bubbles, sanding,
and painting the frame to achieve a professional finish. You’ll also see how I add vinyl stickers
and prepare the frame for reassembly. Whether you’re a bike enthusiast or a DIY lover, this
step-by-step guide will inspire and equip you to create your own carbon fibre frame on a
budget.
