Just received my gravel frame from Waltly.  I went with their standard gravel frame instead of custom, funnily their standard frame was incredibly similar to another Ti brand on the market.

I paid USD $1,150 plus shipping (inc frame, carbon forks, FSA headset and Ti seatpost). I've had it for a couple of months and very happy. The frame, services, etc was all very good, recommended based on my experience and what I heard from others.

Only two design options I would change.  I'd request a setback seatpost because my bike setup means my seat is quite far back.  Also, I should have gone with their T47 BB (their standard design), I opted for BSA because I already had a BB to fit, however, I think the T47 would have given more space for a dropper post cable and wireless if I go that way in future.

If you are up for posting some photos of this build, I'd be grateful. I'm considering Waltly for a gravel build and I'm currently looking at one of their standard frames. Not sure if it's the same one you have.

Finally got mine built. Going for a shortish ride tomorrow to sort out some adjustments

I recently ordered a Carbonda CFR 1056 in size XL. I'm planning to use it as an endurance roadbike.

My contact at Carbonda was Wing. She was really helpful, send me loads of mails just to be sure she had the right green color. Eventually I decided to make them paint a colortube ($15) of my prefered color. That turned out really wel if you asked me. I reffered to the green on the Scott Addict eride (without the chameleon), they managed to get it spot on if you ask me. I'm going for the matte.

I based my design on the Tarmac SL7 (but matte), with a hint of Scott Addict Eride. A bit more black than intended but overall I'm very happy. Hopefully the green vs black will be a bit more visible outdoors / IRL.

Dates:
26 nov - Ordered the colortube
7 jan - Recieved the colortube movie (the colortube was finished earlier Wing said, but 'someone took it' and went missing)
10 jan - Ordered the frame, fork, headset, tru-axles, rear derailleur hangers, seatpost clamp, some spacer and some extra bits
22 jan - Recieved pictures of the painted frame
24 jan - Recieved tracking no.

Chinese New Year is coming up so hopefully the frames leaves China before that. 

I already ordered and recieved my LightBicycle AR46 wheels, new saddle, Ultegra SPD-SL paddles and some bits and pieces. Still not sure what to do with the groupset. Aiming for fully integrated mechanical Ultegra (or maybe a DI2?), but these aren't cheap now, I you can get your hands on one in the first place. Maybe I'll go for something like a Sensah Empire until the prices go down (if...).

I'm almost sure I'll be going for the FSA ACR stem with a compatible bar with low reach.

I'm being offered the fully integrated option and the partially (normal) integrated option. Does that mean there's any difference between the frames? Or just the type of bundle they offer (i.e. aero handlebars etc.)? If there's actually no difference between the frames, I'd go for the cheaper option and source my own bar, stem and so on.

Thanks for the quick and informative reply! I've forwarded my original email to that address.

Katie got in contact with me right away, so thanks again. She's (or they - could be a group of people sharing that email - whatever) been very quick at send me a mockup of my requested paint and decal customisation. I'm still deciding whether to go for fully integrated - I think it's going to be easier to work on if I don't, but when I see those FSA examples on this thread, I've got a feeling I might go with my heart.

I was given a quoted figure of USD195 for shipping by air, but given that I'm in no hurry and I still have to source the rest of the components, I'm thinking I should go with a surface option instead and save the dough for better bits. Anyone else gone with surface shipping?

Based on your experience and that of others and after a long period of research, I've decided to go with the CFR 1056 frame. I've sent an email to info[at]carbonda.com a few days ago expressing my interest in buying a frame from them. I haven't heard anything since and I'm now wondering if there's a better way of contacting them? I'm also not sure how much I should be paying when negotiating.
