Just to update anyone who in interested...I did finally get the frame. Took approx. 6 weeks from day of payment to delivery. There was some drama with USPS at the end where the postman refused to deliver it to my home and wanted me to go sign for it at the post office. The shipping carton was severely crushed and he did not want to take responsibility. The post office would not allow me to open and inspect the contents before signing for the parcel. This is their policy..."no inspections allowed until you sign". Thankfully...the frame inside was not damaged.
Everything was included...Headset, QR Seatpost Clamp, Rear Derailleur, Chain Guide
and Rear Axle. The frame was pre-routed with the plastic lines to pull both the shifter cable and rear brake hose thru the inside of the frame.
Quality looks good...they are incorrectly listing the Bottom Bracket width at 63mm...it is 73mm. There is one minor manufacturing flaw that I will have to resolve. One of the bearing bores (seat stay inside non-drive side horstlink) is just a couple thousands too large...so the bearing wiggles a bit...it does not fall out. I will try some carefully placed red Permatex thread lock to see if that solves the problem. As far as a warranty claim goes...AWST Cycling Tatics is still not showing any available product on their AliExpress store...so it remains to be determined if they are no longer selling under that name. I did some more digging and I think they may be AllStar Bicycle. The other 11 bearings fit tight. They ship the frame with metal shielded bearings...so I am swapping them for ones with rubber seals so I can clean an re-grease when needed.
Frame Weight "M":
Frame (with just the Derailleur Hanger attached) = 1,920 grams
Chain Guide = 49 grams
Headset Bearings (excluding that metal expansion plug) = 76 grams
QR Seatpost Clamp = 59 grams
Rear Axle = 44 grams
Total = 2,148 grams
