I haven't ridden it as much as I'd hoped for various reasons. Everything has been fine. No brake rub, comfortable (for me) and it bowls along very nicely. I would give the frameset a cautious recommendation as lonf as you're prepared to do the necessary fettling to make sure everything goes together nicely.
Right - I've pretty much finished my build and I have to say, it fought back every step of the way...
As I said earlier, it was specced for the hills - hence the dinnnerplate cassette. Despite that and the GRX rear mech it came in at around 7.5kg as pictured (7.9 with SPD pedals, cages and computer mount). I'll do a 20k ride on Thursday or Friday and let you know how it went...
I received a price on carbonda 1056 couple of weeks ago. I almost bought it too, except I can get the painted YFR066 for $650 delivered to EU, while CFR1056 from Carbonda will amount to over $1000 delivered.

headset: US $15.00

That's a good question. My frame was $495 w/taxes including painting and the integrated handlebars because of the Aliexpress 11.11 sale which was definitely worth it, even if it did take 7 weeks to show up, but current price would be more like $610 so is that worth it? I don't know.
How much is the CFR 1056 frame (most similar geo)?
Also reading the 1056 build thread, people had headset issues on the carbonda frames too: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,2982.msg24577.html#msg24577
I'm about 10 rides in to owning the frame, figured it makes sense to have an update. I did have one issue with the front derailleur mount bolts getting stripped after tightening them up. Was attempting to get to 5nm and they stripped at around 3nm, which seems really low. When it gets loose next, I'll extract them and replace them with better quality bolts. Not a big deal.
That being said, riding this bike has been excellent. I am happy with the stiffness and agility of the frame and the integrated handlebars.
As Eddie did, here is my build including all the tools I bought to assemble it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kxmcrzbgUrXaXckA3jgbMvaOweVeR3Iw0n9Df3uwnoA/edit?usp=sharing
Sorry to sneak into this thread as a +1. I've ordered a YFR066 frameset and integrated bars and have just been told it's been collected by DPD in China. The frameset was ordered on 18th December BTW and communication with Airwolf has been fine. It's going to be a slightly unusual build as I'm speccing the bike for very hilly sportive events (specifically the Fred Whitton Challenge here in the UK). Gearing will be 50/34 11-40, giving a 23" lowest gear. So far I've built the wheels, using Ryet hubs and 38mm rims off Aliexpress (Carbon Beam Store) with Sapim Race spokes - they come in at 1402g for the pair.
If there is interest in yet another YFR066 build, I'll keep the forum posted on how things go.
