I just picked up a new frame from Airwolf.
Visually, there are differences compared to the model from 2 years ago.
The interior definitely looks better, smooth carbon, no visible glue.
It seems that the holes for the cables behind the bottom bracket are now cut parallel to those in the triangle. And there is some additional rubber cover, but unfortunately not like the original, protecting the whole thing.
The Bsa insert threads are now reinforced, covered with an additional layer of carbon, it does not look aesthetically pleasing and smooth, but you can see that this is a response to the threads falling out in the previous version. On the minus side, the lower bearing does not want to enter the head tube smoothly, I will have to use sandpaper and remove some carbon.
When I start assembling the frame, I will see how it is with everything else.
I'll try to add some photos when I have time.
