Lightning Strike Carbon mirage?

[kingSebastian]

the Lightning Strike Carbon Edition looks sharp from a distance but as you get near it, things change. Like a painting that looks good on the wall but up close you see the flaws.

i'm not saying it's bad but the finish and details seem off. There must be ways improve the surface maybe some protective coating or something.

Yeah, Lightning talks a big game, but up close, the quality doesn’t exactly scream premium. The Carbon Edition looks sleek in photos, but if the finish is subpar, that’s just disappointing for a bike at this price. You’d think they’d focus on fit and finish instead of just throwing specs on paper. Did you end up finding a way to improve the surface, or is it just something you have to live with?
