Other thoughts since I'm taking a break.
Took 40 days from order to delivery for a M black gloss frame (no seatpost or bars) which I think puts it at 10 days after Ali said it shipped.
My fork looks ok. Not "polished", but ok. looks like the excess filler/epoxy around the brake hose guide was scraped off with a grater. No exposed carbon thread or anything that makes me think unsafe
The storage cover is plastic. The locking handle is plastic. The inserts at top and bottom of opening are plastic and they fill the interior opening above and below the storage opening. I'm thing of cutting them down to just what's needed to hold the door. Then I can push a bag down toward the BB and one up towards the bars.
Paint seems ok, but the plastic bubble/foam wrap they used left a noticable pattern when you look at it closelyon the paint. I tried to was it off thinking it was grease or residue, but it remained. Not sure how it will look after it goes through some rounds of getting dirty and getting washed. I'm not too worried about it, but if you want a perfect smooth/shiny gloss finish it would be frustrating.
They did not face the bb, or it was painted afterwards and just part of the insert was not paints. I was able to install the bb fine and it seems to line up.
The brake mount points also were not faced and had a large bump of paint around the outer edge of all of them. I sanded them down by hand using a Dremel cutoff wheel. The paint seems relatively soft.and I got them much flatter than they were. I'd say flat
Cables through the headset are a pain to run even without the integrated bar and stem.
Looks like 2x grx 11 speed 46/30 is fitting just fine.i have a tire on measuring 47mm right now and seems to be a couple of inches of space to the front derailleur. I plan to run some 2.1" that barely fit in my old frame and look like they will have plenty of room. I got some parts expecting to have to build this 1x for a larger tire clearance, but doesn't seem necessary.
Front triangle is smaller than I realized and my frame bag won't fit. My existing seatpost may also be too short for me with the min insertion on this frame. Top tube is more sloped than my ican x-gravel was. Otherwise this geometry lines up pretty well to my previous 560 ican for reach. Hoping to get 2 bottles and a frame bag in.
The thru axles don't match each other. The front is a v profile on the head and there is a v shaped brass washer that falls out almost every time I have removed the thru axle. The rear is flat at the head and no washer.
Frame and fork came in on the heavier side of the +-. When I ordered the frame was actually posted at 1050 for a M and now states 1100.
Routing the rear shift and brake cables took a while for each. The front brake cable just slide right through the guide as expected. Front shift cable would have been a lot easier to do before installing the bb. But got it with help of cable guide on first try. Full length cables for shift and brake
