Looks great, what's the weight of the frameset? Must be a chonker.

I'll weigh it when I receive it.  Its size 52, I am guessing 1000-1100g ball park.  Acceptable for a T800 frame for 515USD :)

the black picture you posted says gemini ai generated. is it real or is it slop?
Curious about the frame, there's a lot that can go wrong. The bayonet thing is extremely boutique, and the bars could be a slop fest. All that innovation at that price point is both interesting and scary. Did you buy via alibaba?

Its was standard black glossy colorway stock photo, and I used AI to black out the logos as example for manufacturer of what I wanted  (no extra fee). There is 2 month production time on these frames.
Yes bought via alibaba.  Agree its a bit of a gamble.  Happy to be a guinea pig for this frame.

Information from Jessie:

The factory will be closed for the Chinese National Holiday from 1st–3rd October, and their freight forwarding partner will be closed from 1st–7th October. So expect some additional delays in getting frames manufactured and shipped out.

been on the look out for some Golden Week sales but not seen anything except from ICAN. I'm on the fence re: this frame cause of the weight - seriously considering the Camp SR9 though

54 Frame, 130/400mm Handlebars, weighing in at 7.08kg.
Makes me think I should have also gone with this colour frame...

How does the stem interface work is it the same as the cervelo? Can you add and remove spacers if you want/need?

Very similar, yes you can add/remove spacers (which are provided).

Oh man I really like the look of this one but I don't need a new bike, do I? ::)
