I'm not looking to build the bike from the ground up myself. I have my eyes on the Brilliant Bike Co. L Train ( https://www.brilliant.co/collections/bicycles/products/l-train?variant=35671021906 ), but I'm going to talk to someone from my local bike shop to see what he says about Carbon Gear bikes in general. The store in question doesn't sell any, so I'm hoping I'll get objectively good advice despite won't see a red cent from me coping that bike in question.
