I made an inquiry and found out that there is a UDH version of the Microck Aethos.
The price is $650 USD, including shipping but excluding the handlebar.

I think there are minor differences between this and the genuine Aethos, but the specs seem similar.

Thats the thing. is it more similar to V1 or V2 of the Aethos. Big big differences.

I sent the Microck geometry chart. Find the Aethos chart and compare.  ;)

Is that your nickname on the group ride?  ;)

It comes with a no logo option. If you need a logo, buy a real Aethos.

Would that be a clone of Aethos 2?

Would be interested if the UDH version is an A2 clone.
Is there a geo table out for it yet?

PS I like your build Jonathan  8)

Aethos 2 has 35c tire clearance and UDH. If it's at 32c max tire clearance, it's just a modded Aethos 1.

Here's the geometry chart between the two. Aethos 2 is a tad taller and longer.

Yes, they also offer modded internal routing versions of the frame, which never existed on the original Aethos. Internal cable routing is a feature exclusive to the Aethos 2...

I asked and was told the internal version is the Aethos 2 copy.
I was offered $1100usd for custom painted (to match one of the Spec colours) including shipping and integrated handlebar. Production time 3 weeks.

I checked their website, they sell the SL7 Copy for 250$ + 150$ shipping (for real?  :o)

Has anyone experience with buying directly from their website?
