I've built velobuild gf002 and gf003. Haven't ridden the 003, but doesn't look racy at all. The 002 isn't racy at all, but it's nice. Sizes rather large. Assuming they make them EPS moulded thèse days (can't remember, but I'm pretty sure ours weren't EPS moulded/ very clean inside). For the price you can't really go wrong. Is carbonda better? Possibly, I don't have experience with them but clearly carbonda is all about gravel bikes / slack endurance road.
