After a lot of contemplation and reading huge threads on mtbr I settled on an LTK115-D from Longteng. Pretty straightforward ordering, delivery about 2 weeks from order to arrival. £42 VAT paid, about £350 all in – with a headset, spare seatpost + mech hanger.
Not had a carbon bike before. Internal cables were a bit of a faff, as was getting the gears lined up properly for some reason. Need a new stem and then I’ll cut the steerer down further.
Only ridden up and down the street, but it feels pretty stiff! Weighs in about 8.5kg which isn’t bad considering the dyno hub at the front, Hope xc at the back and Spyre brakes!
