Raoul himself expressed incredulity and disappointment inspecting this bike.
A question I have is whether this BMC could be a counterfeit. I’ll add that question to the video comments (if it’s not been asked yet) and see if he has any thoughts on the possibility.
The questions I have are:
1. How many miles was this bike ridden?
2. Did it fail during those miles?
If it provided a good ride for some large number of miles then I have to conclude that these defects and/or irregularities weren't important in this case.
If you cut me open you'll see a bunch of wrinkles and voids, too.
