Tempted for this frame.
But what is a bit sketchy is that full aero/wind tunnel report is not available online, and will not be available as per my request. This gives me the suspicion there is something to hide inside the full report or they to "cherry-picking" at the least.

Has someone seen the full report?

Same with drainage holes.
Are there drainage holes in both front and rear triangle?

What about the cable routing for the remote of the rear shock?
Standard or similar to Orbea Oiz?

Suggestion:
Option for external cable routing, then use upper headset bearing for offset bearing to slacken Head Tube Angle.

My unqualified opinion says: don't worry too much about causing a crack when drilling. Be careful, take your time, but you're not going to cause your frame to crack by drilling a small hole or 2 in the BB area.

What diameter is needed to drain water? 2mm enough?
Not build the frame yet but I'm also considering drilling the frame as I have problems on another bike without a draining hole...

My 30/32 Roubaix on skinner internal rims didn’t clear the front fork. I ran a 28mm gravel king on 19mm internal and it barely cleared the front too. Measured 29-30mm.

This is a big flaw for this frame. Just stick to 28mm and call it a day.

Really?
28mm tires on 25mm rim (30mm measured) clear the front generously for me. There is room for 32mm (measured) or slightly more on my fork.
