Yes, I wrote to get information about it and I'm waiting for their response.

Looking at the photo I'm attaching, I think there's some resin/material missing in the lower part of the bushing (see purple arrows), and I have doubts about the parts indicated by the fuchsia and green arrows.

Maybe it's all normal for a raw frame, and maybe then with the painting everything will be fixed, I don't know.....the inside of the fork is definitely better finished (see photo).

I'd be curious to see how the same part looks in a frame painted with transparent, could someone post me some photos?

I don't understand why a black bushing was used for the fork, while instead a gold bushing was used for the rear axle....and why the rear axle has a flat head, while the front axle has a conical/countersunk head.

Can someone explain to me?

Thanks

Could someone answer me about what I highlighted in bold?

Thanks

Mmmh don't know if it's good or bad, some guy said that they changed the frame thread for allowing a better stay. Did you tried asking them? Could be just bad finish btw.

Looking forward to your custom paint job @bonus79!

For the price, those little imperfection seem acceptable. That little nick on the seat post opening can be fixed with some filler and/or might not even be noticeable after it's been painted. As long as the internals look clean, I wouldn't worry too much. Did you check if you received a flush or concave non-drive side thru axle hole? I'm curious if SPCycle fixed that issue. If not, did you receive a rear thru axle with multiple washers?

Here I am....non-drive side thru axle hole is concave and the thru axle is the same as yours (only one washer).
But do your R088 also have the golden bushing on the non-drive thru axle hole (outer side)?
I was looking at the rear thru axle holes.....but do you think, since the frame is raw, is it normal for them to be finished in this way?
They don't seem very well-finished to me, on the contrary.....but since it's the first time I've ordered a raw frame, I don't know. 

I definitely got cut and some carbon fiber splinters while trying to fish some line through the bottom bracket area.

I asked the painter if he can file away the imperfections, otherwise I'll take care of it myself with a file and sandpaper.

For the painting I will have to wait until mid-May....the painter already has some jobs booked.

In the end I think I will opt for the dove gray marbled effect like the SL8 S-Works....I am still undecided about the color of the brand and SPCYCLE logo: I still don't know whether to apply them, and whether to make them the same color as the SL8, or satin black like the components (wheels, handlebars, seat post).

Suggestions are welcome....thanks! 

As I was saying, during the weekend I didn't have time to check everything....as soon as I have a moment I will check the rear thru axle and let you know. 

Sorry to hear that man, fortunately nothing structural. Keep us updated with the painting

How many days between order and delivery?

In my case 9 days....frame ordered on March 26th and delivered on April 4th.

Last Friday, to my great surprise, the frame was delivered.

Unfortunately the packaging is very/too simple, and the box arrived quite damaged.... an aspect to be reviewed and improved in my opinion.

I noticed an imperfection on the seat tube where the seat post is inserted (see circle in photo).... right where the box is cut, but Spcycle told me that it was a mistake by the worker who did not fill it with resin.

A defect that can be solved by painting the frame and that does not involve any risk of breakage or safety.

The drainage holes and the mechanical gear cable are not finished well (I cut myself while running my finger through them).... I will have to smooth them out before painting.

The rest seems to be fine, even if I haven't had time to check everything properly this weekend.
