I don't really understand why the bottle cage has been positioned so high on the frame. Personally, I find it quite disappointing, as I often use a frame bag.

It seems like it should be fairly straightforward to mount the bottle cage on the storage compartment cover instead.

To be honest, this design choice is one of the reasons why I decided not to purchase the frame. Had the bottle cage been positioned differently, I would likely have bought it.

Was there a specific design reason or consideration behind this decision?

I think it was because some of the previous frames had issues with the weight of the bottle causing the door to become loose over time.

Have you seen the fm356? That has bolts on the door and has it mounted low on the down tube.

Jack has sent me a video of my frame.

Size small, pearl white with raw carbon.

I ordered in mid august but I had messed up the payment so that only went through in September. AFAIK size small are one of the last to be made so I was expecting a long wait but I stayed patient  , there was a lot of "ready next week" from Jack but we got there in the end!

Another newly published frame from LT.
More of a lean towards "Aero" stylings for this one, it reminds me slightly of the new Mondince FM376 but it only has clearance for 50c apparently.
Not the most aggressive geo but still quite racy, apart from the seat tube angle, especially in the smaller sizes.

Another newly published frame from LT.
This one keeps up with the trend for larger tires, specified at 57c.
The geometry is more aggressive than the other models as well, Personally I quite like this one spec wise but I think that rear end looks a bit naff.

Another newly published frame from LT.
This doesn't seem to be a frame any other companies are producing AFAIK, although I might have missed it so feel free to correct me.
Some of the geometry lines up with FM366 as well as having a very similar down tube, although this is only specified for 50c tires.

Another newly published frame from LT.
This looks to be the same as the Mondince FM366.

Newly published gravel frame from LT.
At first glance it seems to be the same as the Tideace and Haideli GV202 models, the only change seems to be the addition of a mudguard.

@anqry
Thanks. Yes, you were right 
Did you order a S size frame?

I ordered size S, Jack messaged me saying approximately 15 days until shipment.

Mondince FM356?

Personally I wish manufacturers would focus less on massive internals and more on increasing the external width and the thickness of the rim lip. Something like the new newmen streem g.62 or duke sierra aera w48 that have thick lips which would surely handle rim impacts better. I'm not sure on the impact of wider lips on pinch flats but maybe it will also help there? Just my 2 cents.

Very interesting... Is it already known when will the S size of this frame be available?

I have just placed my order, size S, apparently 15 days for the moulds to be made then however long painting and shipping will be on top of that.

The geometry is almost identical to the Spcycle G028, but the details of the shape are slightly different. I think there is no reason to choose the G028 now that the FM376 exists, with much better QC and overall quality. Unfortunately, it's too late for me, as I've already ordered the G028   

This is what I was thinking as well, I was nearly sold on the G028 but was put off by some of the complaints on that thread. Hopefully your frame comes out ok though, not everyone has had problems it seems.

Some more specs from the site:

Geometries have been added to Bike Insights under "Mondince FM 376"

It looks quite good IMO, somewhat like a mix between the fm346 and fm356.
