No room for foam?
I run the hydraulic tubing last night, it went without too much problem as well, using a $4 cable routing kit. The chainstay is getting narrow when meeting the frame and there was some kind of a ridge inside blocking tube when running it straight in.
Installed the foam and ran all the way up, seat nicely in the Bb area (see pic)

Then I ran into a bit of a problem when I realized I forgot to get the jagwire shifter cable housing. Ordered and expecting delivery tomorrow. As I wait I’ll PPF the chainstay and seat tube

Oh and I confirmed the X4 caliper fits at the rear

Not there yet…
I am awaiting to put the decals on the frame and have it PPFed before I bring tools close to it lol
I did last night test fitting rear wheel and ended up breaking the plastic UDH. Luckily I had ordered a spare one, that one is metal. First time using UDH, cant say I am impressed with the design:
Screw/rod is aluminum and can take 10Nm - 6mm Hex key
Nut side is metal but threading in plastic UDH - 8mm hex key, not torque info

When I screw the rod in I failed to have an hex key on the other side which I think ended up overtorquing the UDH indirectly and cracking it :/

Have you routed your brake and derrailleur tubing? Any issues?

I haven’t found anything to help, doesn’t look like forum has any auto size function. It’s all down to the uploader to choose correct size

For the guide pins you could put a hole and find some small metal pins, easily done

And it just showed up, it’s a beauty, picture don’t do it justice!
The paint is slightly clear and let the carbon show through. The finish seems good, I can see that BB and headset have been sanded/faced, inside it looks realy clean too. I will run endoscopic camera to check further.

I got a painted frame! It was apparently a challenge to get what I wanted (clear with chamaeleon effect still showing the carbon through) so far communication as been really good with seller on official aliexpress store. It took more time than expected but I was clear from the start that I wasn’t in a rush.
Can’t wait to have that box in front of me!

First batch had that issue, 2nd batch was oversold so they requested some to delay order, which I accepted, now the third batch has been produced and in paint last week from what I was told. I am not really in a rush so I don’t mind but next time I’ll probably buy from someone that has stock rather than made to order just to satisfy my impatience

Nice to see that the frame found its market though!

I got some Goldix for my kid’s bike, quality seems good to me. At 5yo he won’t be pushing the boundaries of mechanical resistance though. Which bugs me, if someone was actually designing bike part for kids, they could save 30-40% of the weight because the loads are nothing in comparison to adults… rant over

Can't you use some dielectric grease?

It amazes me how people keep defending Ltwoo and these groupsets with all these problems... It's not like we're talking about a 125USD Sensah mechanical groupset...
It's like buying a frame, seeing it has a crack when it arrives and saying: "I'll just put some epoxy on there and ride it, it's the cost of being an early-adopter"
It’s just show the desire from many to see a viable third option behind the big two.
