With Fairlight, you are paying for vey thought-out design and best tubing possible. They are using custom made Renolds tubing to get the best combination of vertical compliance, lateral stiffness and low weight. Their ride quality is supposedly superior to none because of this – see practically every review of their bikes getting 5 stars out of 5. Second thing is their design is always incredibly well thought out, be it how the cable guides work, how the modular dropouts are designed, how dynamo lighting is incorporated – everything works far better than other brands. The design notes are beautiful: https://media.fairlightcycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Fairlight-Strael-4.0-Design-Notes-v1.1.pdf
You just don't see anything like this from instagram brands like Standert.
