I also see from their news feed that they have a different variation but I can't see it available on their site yet:

Now based on customer feedback, we have developed the LCG087-D based on the LCG073-D frame. The t is changed to the T47(85.5mm) Bottom bracket and the head tube angle is modified to 69.5°, and have added the design of fender and rack mounts.

Pretty sure most of the feedback here and elsewhere was give it more tire clearance, number 2 was more stack - as ratio of stack to reach is really low (effectively made worse by them steepening the head angle).

here is the frame :)

It has no suspension but doesn't look bad either. Seems to be on the racier side of gravel

That looks great! Looks like a replacement for the Yishun G095-D?

It's very hard to make out the text, but it looks like it says 700x47C. If the geo is good and the clearance can be pushed a bit, that's a great frame.

Ordered a LCG073-D about a month ago with a single color paint and it shipped a few days ago.

...what was the cost?

With paint, shipping, and fees it ended up being a little over $900USD.

Anyone interested in using SRAM Transmission will need a new thruaxle.  Unless they shipped my frame with the wrong one, it is M12 x 1.5 thread pitch x 165mm, it is a bit short but worse is that UDH spec is 1.0 thread pitch.  It seems like the included UDH hangers are also 1.5 thread pitch because the axle fits perfectly.  I ordered a 168mm and 172mm M12x1.0 which should fit with 18mm of threaded end.  Also ordered a SRAM T-Type AXS Full Mount Bolt Kit just in case mine is too stripped and unusable, obviously I checked the specs after noticing the wheel had some movement.

This is probably a warning for all frames here that have UDH support but may not completely follow the spec.
