Jenson had years of really bad reviews on BBB very similar with my experience, ghosting about damaged shipments, then over the course of about 8 months they had 3 times as many reviews on BBB that spoke of just how great they were. That pattern seems very special.

edit- not saying it is worse than aluminum, seems to be better? but it's worth reading about to learn more as a unique offering with this bike
update - reading and watching some reviews the biggest benefits are the strength and weight for cost. It is said to be stronger than other materials while lighter than aluminum (carbon fiber still lighter) and was considered priced well at MSRP so it's a great deal at this price. Biggest criticisms were the welds are pretty big and ugly, but apparently that's necessary for strong enough welds with the frame material.
There is a thought this company, which is owned by Huffy apparently, will be dissolved which is the reason for the fire sales of this brand.
Can't justify it in my current stable, but it is tempting at this price.

I do think buying from this store and this brand, you have a higher chance of something going wrong. And you DEFINITELY want different tires on this ASAP.
I'd probably recommend the REI ADV 2.3 if you are considering any type of gravel riding at all. I think it's on sale for $1500 and REI really stands behind their products.
