Lots of bottle cage options instead of the one lonely generic LBS one.
My favorite for carbon is the Arundel Mandible. My favorite for good looking cheap is the Tacx Tao. It's discontinued, but I found a two pack for the Cinelli.

That bike will be fine with fenders from here. Boulder Bicycle is a dealer, as well.

I also think it's kinda BS Lynskey spec'd it out with FSA, if you bought the full bike and not the frameset. Why would they do that on such a nice frameset? Well, we know why.
