Thanks raisinberry777 thats super valuable feedback. I'm trying to make the purchasing process as simple as possible for people who are interested in this space but don't know where to start parts wise. And offer a ready to ride bike with a direct contact if anything goes wrong. After hearing your feedback, I'm definitely going to add Sram and Shimano groupset options as well as a Sigeyi power meter. I know L-Twoo had some issues but the wheeltop has had a lot better reviews. And i'll definitely look at better rim options for the climbing and gravel bike with wider internal widths. I get that most people on here are happy to buy parts and build their own spec but this help in invaluable as I really want to provide a solid polished product.

Thanks for the fast feedback, I really appreciate it.
Totally hear you on the price. It is in the same ballpark as the big brands, and they do offer a lot in terms of warranty and support. Many riders can end up swapping out those stock components though—especially things like the crankset, wheels, and cockpit—for stuff that performs better or fits their body.
With these builds, I’m trying to shortcut that whole upgrade process by starting with the parts riders actually end up with. That way it's more economical in the long term and easier for people who don’t want to tackle the upgrades.
I know trust takes time though, so at the moment I’m just trying to be transparent, and engaged with the community.

Hey Guys,

Bit of a backstory to start. I recently did a bike packing trip across Europe and found myself listening to a lot of the Nero Show. Jesse's Tavelo Arow build inspired me to start a store that sells complete builds using a mix of asian and western parts.

I'm a 22 year old who just finished my engineering degree and just really love building and racing bikes.
I would love any feedback you guys have on the site, prices and the specs of the bikes.
This is just the start but I plan to add a heap more builds at different price points so it is more accessible.
At the moment I'm just serving Australia, but once I get the ball rolling will definitely look at marketing in the US and Europe.

Anyway, looking forward to the feedback.

You can find the site here:
