Spacers do look horrible, at least the bottom one is hideous. Also looks like they indeed settled on not using UDH which is a bummer. One will have to 3d-print their own top caps + spacers to use other cockpits which won't be too much of a hassle I think

A new photo of the frame on their website.

That looks like a weird small size?

Chris from VeloBuild says the frame is indeed UDH - the first sample (in the pictures) was not and they have changed to UHD since. Hope that's correct.

As a certified short king, I would expect its a 52 or 54 frame

The more I look at it, the more it reminds me of a beefier version of the TanTan X38 Scott Foil clone.

I'm hoping to find a way of using my own stem and handlebar.

I like the frame. Unfortunately, I don't like this type of saddle clamp at all for visual reasons. Are there any options for a different seatpost?

Chris wrote this to my friend FWIW:

"No stem which needs adapter ,can i know your stem normal one or integrated ? if so we need 3D drawing of spacers ,then we can help do 3D print top cover here for you."

If you know someone handy with CAD and a 3D printer I guess that's also a possibility.

I was just thinking about this yesterday, though my line of thinking was: "headset cover adds about 6mm of stack, can I get a cad file of it from them and modify it to reduce that?"

Just pulled the gun and ordered an 55 with the HB010 380/100mm handlebar. Hopefully it will be fine! Chris said that they have the more oldschool shape HB050 in production with 380/110, but not a fan of the round bends.
So now its just a good long wait until it arrives! 

So around this time is when they claimed deliveries would start happening. Anybody heard anything about the status of their orders yet?

I think they are again going to be delayed. I am looking forward to see how the bike looks and rides before buying one myself. By the way does anyone know  if the downtube flares enough to hide the bottles like Systemsix or is it narrower?

Not at all. It's more like an S5

So the Trek aero bottle cages should fit spot on.

I doubt that, I think they'd stick out past the edge.
