A friend of mine has got the same/similar frame in grey. Really love it from the looks, but it's one of the most noodly frames i know (as far as i can tell by testing the headset). Maybe the updated fork improves a little bit on this...
I guess it's when you wrap your hand around the headset, turn the bars to the side, apply the front brake and rock the bike backwards and forwards: if there's play in your headset, you'll be able to feel it.
Can't say I've ever used it to assess the noodle factor.
