I receive this frame few days ago. 
First impression:
- the bottom bracket holes is not perfectly rounded, but I don'y have any issue when I use BB press to install BB92 shells.
- holes for the cable/hose is very sharp inside frame. This can damage the the hose.
- building quality and stiffness is perfect (excluding previous 2 points)
- I use Continental Race King 2 2.2 and have very big clearance between frame and wheel
- after 100km I can say, that this frame is more predictive than M062

Wow thanks. I have already talked with seller, to arrange everything.

Couple of questions that seller could not answer were
1. Max chainring size (I usually run 40-42t)
2. Type of headset, I am probably going to buy cane Creek headset, so knowing the size will be a great advantage.
As a owner of the frame can you answer those questions ? Thanks in advance.

This is where mine faulted, I did put a BBInfinite inside, but the frame didn't like it, and at some point developed a play making the BBInfinite unusable.
Two other bearing cups( Cannondale? by a mechanics during a race ) were glued to the frame, and it is still there but don't look it will last.

Hose will damage the carbon before themselves I think

What do you mean predictive ? I did find the M062 was quite sharp to ride.
This one is even better ?

A pity Workswell's after sales service is so bad.

I hope I will don't have any problem with my bb. I know this is a common problem in carbon frames to produce frames with good dimension tolerance. I don't see any problem to install my BB into the frame (I used press).

QuoteHose will damage the carbon before themselves I think
I hope I will can use this frame after that  :)

QuoteWhat do you mean predictive
When I use M062 bike sometimes I feel that I fight with the bike and I must focus to hold handlebar strait. Especially  when I climbing. I use "short" stem 7cm. Currently I notice the turning it's easier and more smooth (this is my feeling only - I can't measure).
