Stunning bike Paul. I looked in to Karbona wheels when I was browsing around as I found some that were cheaper than the Planet-X ones, didn't get them in the end as I got a great deal on 2nd hand unused P-Xs.
As you mention it's the same factory as Planet-X. What I discovered with my browsing that a lot of the more "budget" carbon equipment all comes from the same factory in Taiwan and is made by Gigantex Composite Technologies - Planet-X, Karbona, and a couple of others the names of which escape me at the mo - possibly Dalkiia as their TT frame looks the same. It's all the same/similar stuff just rebadged, although that Karbona frame is different from the P-X one (much closer front wheel clearance and different head tube) it's probably the same as another one rebadged by somone else. The wheels in the picture look like the P-X 82s with different transfers. I read somewhere that Cadel Evans' "Ridley" in the Tour last year was one from the same moulds as the P-X with new stickers on it.
Nice old oval "Eggring" in that pic
. All to reduce the dead spot, combined with a lovely set of the wonderful PMP L shaped cranks and you should fly
