I actually have an Aethos that I had feared I had cracked so was looking for something similar

The ability to get a custom paint job and good reviews sealed the deal for me

Thanks Its a 58cm frame with 3cm of the supplied spacers. Geometry is very similar to the Aethos and Tarmac

Build complete of a chameleon purple in a size 58 with 105 Shimano Di2

Shimano Di2 battery was definitely a challenge as the inside of the frame needed sanding internally where the lip of the mould for seat post was

Paint work seems good and definitely more impressive in person, needed to sand a small amount of overspray off for the brakes but nothing substantial. Bike went together easy enough and rides well.

Frame and handle bars definitely light, as this is on some R470 wheels so would be fairly easy to loose a fair bit more weight and I adjusted for a slightly longer expander plug just to play safe with the bars   
 

Completed and with bar tape.

Definitely enjoying the bike and the frame is definitely very impressive even compared to the actual Aethos which this is definitely taking some inspiration and improving upon.

Bike was easy to put together and the quality seems great including the paintwork

Just needing bar tape now, once happy with the fit

I ordered a frame on 24th of August in chameleon purple and I am currently waiting for the customs letter to reach me. I'll upload some pictures probably next week.

Chameleon purple frame in size 58 arrived yesterday, nearly had it built up until I realised the di2 battery catches against a bit in the seat tube that I am going to need to file away so I can get enough of the seat tube in

Frames arrived and most of the parts required for the build.

Could someone confirm the bolt lengths required for shimano disc calipers with 140mm rotors or knows the frame thickness  https://si.shimano.com/en/dm/RADBR10/install_brake_caliper#xd_991fd65585931a99-18952947-17110754f5e--67e0
