When a complete beginner tries to build a bike | Syd Fixes Bikes

Today I'm teaching my brother-in-law, Bo, how to build a bike. As someone who has never built a bike before, Bo has lots of questions that I didn't think to answer in previous bike builds. And Macky says he's not going to say anything!
