Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707

Finally got my frame built. All in all an excellent experience with great customer service from Tina, especially the back and forth on the custom paint ideas.
Had it built locally by a bit of a high end road snob, and he was pleasantly surprised with the quality. He faced the BB (only needed a very light skim) and brake mounts - only need to clean up the paint overspray.
58cm CRF-707, Gloss raw carbon to ivory fade. Went the non internal routing, and used my own mix of headset - Hope IS52 on the bottom (love the selaed split crown race), and the Ritchey IS52 on top. Other pretty standard stuff - Newman bar / stem, Force wide cranks, GRX810 1x11. Only treat for myself was the Hope Calipers.
