When I first joined this conversation I said that this frame ticked all my boxes. That's not exactly true. My perfect frame would use a 27.2mm round seatpost. I get that no manufacturer is going to spec that as part of a design with a brief to be marketed as "aero". Still, if this frame had a non-proprietary post, it would be an easy swap.
There's been a fair amount of chat about the seat clamp design. I thought the design looked familiar, then I place it. It's Parlee's design.

LightCarbon uses the same design both round and aero posts. I wonder how Parlee customers feel about the design.
Also placed an order today for a size 52, chameleon 01HS paintwork (was surprised it's only 25$ extra compared to a single color paint), T47 BB, extra UDH hanger and a bag for the inner tube storage compartment.
Total was 1044$ USD including shipping to Canada and paypal fees.
FYI Jim from Lightcarbon told me that they expect to raise the price of the frame at the end of the year due to recent increases in raw material prices.
