This is a pic of the first frame that came out of the tooling.

Some other bits have been moulded, but none of them is in public domain yet.

The finish is seriously impressive inside and out, and for a first test it was near perfect in terms of the finish.

 

Excited to see the end product here....

Really nice looking finish on that frame. About that huge cutout in the headtube, do you guys know what is being done to prevent ingress of water and dirt to the headset bearings?

I believe that the cutout it will be filled in once in production.
