The Truth About This ‘Barely Used’ Trek MTB… Bike Flipping Challenge EP.11

In today’s episode of the Bike Flipping Challenge, I picked up a “barely used” Trek Marlin 5… or at least, that’s what the seller claimed. After a closer look, it turns out this bike wasn’t quite as perfect as illuded to. So let’s dig in, uncover what’s really wrong with it, and see if we can repair it, flip it, and add more profit to the series total! The ultimate goal of the series — flipping £100 all the way up to an electric mountain bike that I’ll be surprising my dad with at the end of the series. ​​Please be aware: These videos are for entertainment ONLY, they are not intended to form a tutorial, please do not copy what I do here, always do your own research and take it to a professional if you are unsure.
