So here is a bit of an update.

The frame arrived today and I am extremely happy with it. It's a basic carbon frame and everything on that end look to be normal with a weight of 1285 grams for the 15.5" size. The rear 12x142 dropouts are mounted up and look perfect. One of my concerns I had before ordering was how the internal cables were routed. I prefer to use full length housing and I wasn't sure if that would be an option. I was really pleased to see that you can run anything you want with this frame. All the removable cable stops were installed but they snap right out. The brake clips have a larger hole to run the hose through and the derailleur clips have a smaller hole making them a cable stop. It would be nice if more large hole clips were provided but I can easily drill out the small hole clips to have a snug fit with the shifter housing. The bare cables would normally exit just underneath the BB and re-enter after an inch or so. But a blanking plug was provided so I can just run the housing inside and cover the holes with the plug. It might be a bit more of a hassle to run the housing but I have multiple options which is REALLY nice.

I will post up some pictures once I have some time to take them.
