I also ordered a frame in 56cm and a carbon spoked, ceramic bearing, ratchet freehub wheelset (C67DB) from them. Wheelset including shipping and Paypal fees was around 700 USD, which is quite cheap for what they offer. I will report when I received the parts. Looks like the rims are also provided to a company called „Laminar“:

What makes you say that there provided to a company called laminar? I thought that the rims were made by Pro-X

Exactly looks like Laminar sources their rims from Lightcarbon/ProX.

Any news from users on this frame?
I'm probably going to get one myself.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

I ordered back in December.  Its ship date has been pushed back 2 times now.   I hope they are planning on building some stock, because waiting this long is brutal.

What size? I think for Medium it's pretty easy to get one.

Oh, hurts me to hear that. I also ordered a frame in size 54 with custom painting and a wheel set.
Wendy told me that it will take 20-30 days for both until shipping.
 I really hope that they don't take much longer.

That comes with buying a frame direct from manufacturer. If you get your frame on time, they either have it in stock or you got lucky. If it is delayed when it's being manufactured, that's normal.

Difference is that when somebody gives you an estimated delivery date because they just want to sell you a frame, it's not cool.

Yeah I know, I agree mate. Just saying it's the unfortunate reality and it's a bit shit.

Unfortunately you gotta go into the purchase with the crappy expectation that your frame will be delayed if it's part of a production run, and delayed even more if it needs paint.

Problem multiplies when the customer gets antsie and the manufacturer starts to cut corners to get the product out the door.

Yeah that would suck.

My personal experience with the bigger manufacturers is they just dgaf. My frame has only ever been a blip in a huge production run of that frame in that size, so they just delay as long as they want/need. I'm not a priority, but the company ordering by the container load is. For me it's fine because I just expect that, but I get why others would be mega annoyed.

Thankfully it all comes good in the end.
