What can a cheap Chinese brand do with a bigger budget? - Loong carbon frame

The reviewer analyzes the OG-EVKIN LOONG carbon road frame, noting it's a more premium offering from a typically value-focused Chinese brand. He highlights its aero-focused design, EPS molding construction, high-quality accessories including titanium alloy bolts, and overall excellent finish, while pointing out minor paint alignment issues and overspray in the headset bearing cup.
