Nice option. Geometry seems on the performance side, besides quite tall stack.
Any experience with SP Cycle? Price seems fair with painted option.

If the frame is in stock, they seem quite fast. My last order from them took exactly 14 days. 9 days to prep for paint and clear coat and 5 days to ship to the US. I would order from them again.

I picked one of these up from Winspace. So far it has been mostly brilliant. I ride a 54-56cm road bike, and the 54cm medium frame fits me like a 56cm road bike does, and I think the large would have been too big for me.
I built it up with the Ltwoo 1x12 gravel groupset, and a Shimano M7100 cassette. Ltwoo takes a little getting used to, and it is pretty picky about indexing (small adjustment window for quiet running). Braking us great, and I like the hood shape. Getting wheels with microspline in a 142mm hub is not that easy, so I laced up some using some DTswiss G540 rims with a 105 front hub and an on-sale XTR rear hub. I put a Trans-X squishy seatpost and Redshift squishy stem, and I’m a big fan of those.
The good:
1. Threaded BB is plus, though I am not a fan of tightening using such a shallow lip to grab onto, but I’ll take that over press-fit anything.
2. Cable routing was pretty easy with the semi-internal setup. I have other carbon frames that had choke points inside the chainstays, and this one went pretty smoothly.
3. No issues with the fitment, it all just went together.
4. Seatpost clamp has been trouble free. I do wish it had a rubber seal over top.
The bad:
1. The half ring on the top of the headset is a stupid design. Mine kept loosening up the headset, and I didn’t like the prospect of damaging the steerer in an impact with such poor support the stock one provided. I bought a Specialized SL7 expander plug and compression ring kit for about $20, and haven’t had an issue since.
2. Some of the paint masking left the white primer showing on the edges, which bugged me a little, but is far less noticeable once built up.
3. The accessory bolts are showing some surface rust despite minimal adverse condition riding. I will be replace them soon.
4. I wish the head angle was just a little slacker. That said, with road tires I have no toe overlap which is nice as a change. With 2” tires there is some, but tolerable, so I can’t complain too much.

Hi Moof123, can you please post some photos? I'm also considering this frame in a medium. What is your height?
I have contacted SP for some photos of a built up bike
