You may be right, I'm going to try the + 3mm one, it might be enough. It's not necessary to add the crown race included, but I doubt if the bearing seats well or if a Cane Creek headset is needed (or recommended), with its specific inner angle bearing for correct mounting... what is your experience slo?

I have already received the frame as well. I like it. Apart from small details that could be improved, the frame seems strong and well built. As it's unpainted, I will try to improve those details before finishing it. The bad news is that the Fox 36 (current year model) hits the frame despite being a size L. The air cap barely rubs, but the Grip 2's adjustment dial hits clearly. I think the 6mm spacer from Cane Creek will provide enough clearance. With how complex it is to make a frame like this, I can't believe how they can have such a basic design fault... :-\

If you want to put a 30.9 seatpost, type " 30.9 31.6 shim" in the search box of Aliexpress and choose.

Similar to darius72, but I ordered and paid in mid-April. There wasn't even a sample photo of what the size L frame looked like, but the aesthetics of the samples and geometry of the Hightower caught my eye. The shape of the seat tube changed in the final production version compared to the photos of the samples, I'm not sure if changed for the better according to my taste, at least for the large sizes, I'll see when receive it... On August 27th Eddy asked me for address confirmation, the frame was ready to ship and on September 1st I already had the tracking number. But now will be another story, production is underway and the wait will be short I guess.

Bad news from WXY  :( . Transit time China-Italy is average 15 days but the parcel departs when they fill completely a cargo plane; it can cause delays like this time.

Just like you, the shipping of the frame is still stuck :-\. Can someone tell me the diameter of the seatpost clamp, please? 34.9mm right?
