+1 on the LT 301. I probably single handedly made Long Teng Great Again (MLTGA) on this forum, because i bought 2 frames, in parallel w 2 Winow, and i recommend LT as much as i advise against winow.
But the point is, a bike that still looks aero with 38C clearance, the 301 is an obvious contender. Doesnt hurt that they're cheap either.
Ribble has launched a range of all rounder bikes that would qualify, but i dont know off the top of my head where to source OEM frames that are similar to these.
My LT268 is fast AF, when built to be an aero machine, it really is. The 301 is definitely not the same frame (the down tube looks like a chonky boy, especially), but in spirit it's the same frame, with bigger clearance. And the 301 is much more modern, lighter and so on.
Youtube is where I would go - here is a two-part series specific to the Hygge model by Henry Chung (who also posts on here I believe).

Maybe it's helpful to watch a few general build videos in addition to the above, starting with everyone's favorite Youtuber*, Trace Velo.

Jourdain Coleman has several build series that provide additional details.
See the four 'Bike Build' playlists - https://www.youtube.com/@JourdainColeman/playlists (I'd focus on the 'build process' videos within the respective playlists, the rest aren't that relevant to the assembly of the various bikes)
* Sorry, couldn't find a build video by everyone's other favorite Youtuber, Patrick Lino.
Aliexpress is having anniversary sale.
I just placed an order for 423eur shipped
