Recieved the frame today, Size M, White

It'll be a while before i'll build it up since i'm still without a groupset. Initial impressions are decent, but i'm no carbon expert. Tried to take some photos of the inside so see for yourself.
Weights are as follows:

Frame: 1279g
Fork: 545g
Seatpost with clamp: 266g
Handlebar (400x90): 346g
.

Any update on the frame? They also offer a another new model with UDH and T47, available in XL: https://www.winowsports.com/product/WR018-Light-Weight-Aero-Disc-UDH-T47-BB.html
I had contact with Terry. Price ist 408 USD w/o handlebar. I am thinking about ordering one.

Terry started ghosting me, so no more winow for me. bought 2 frames from him, at the same time as 2 long teng frames. the LT ones were better finished, especially the BB area. My crank spins forever in my LT, and i could feel installing the BBs (all 4 frames with the same format) that both LT had better alignment and tolerances than both winow.
Anecdotal, but the ghosting part is outright unacceptable.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Be careful with the geometry of this frame.

The seat angle is not 73.5º as stated in the Winow size chart – it’s much steeper, more like a time trial bike, over 80º. So the higher you set your seatpost, the shorter the effective top tube becomes.

Normally, I ride a size 58 with a 110 mm stem. I chose this Winow in size L (56) and paired it with a 120 mm handlebar, thinking that if I moved the saddle 1 cm backwards, it would be fine. But this is impossible on this frame. The saddle is positioned as shown in the photo, and I’m still 2 cm short.

Even though the Winow is supposed to be available in a XL frame size, it doesn’t really solve the problem — it only adds about 1 cm to the rear of the bike, which doesn’t help with my issue.

I am? Not that i remember. I asked Crystal about the new TT frame months ago, exchanged a few emails, then decided not to order right away, but i dont remember being ghosted?
It's also not easy to get Justin from Speeder to reply in a timely manner, but i wouldn't call that ghosting either (same idea, i asked a few questions, exchanged a few emails, then decided not to order right away).
