Finish quality on powder coat and decals is top notch
Cable routing was specified on my original drawings so I’m happy with all that.
Entry/exit points for internals are rough and the cable guides are a bit dodgy (but I only have them on the stays so no drama)
My only gripes so far are that it’s a bit porky (nearly 3kg for a 59cm frame) and that he forgot the mudguard eyes on the rear dropouts.Overall pretty happy as I wanted aggressive all-road geo that’s not too precious to commute on & lock up in town

Hopefully, the bike will ride nicely after all the thought you put into the geometry, but the level of finish seems disappointing for a custom-built frame, as @Tom13 found with his. I guess it could be tidied up and mudguard eyelets brazed on if you ever needed to get a respray in the future.

Which tubing option did you go for?

Yeah those guides look rubbish. The one on the underside of my chainstay is shocking. It must be a good 3mm from the frame on the one side. As I mentioned before my dropper routing goes in Perpendicular to the seat tube meaning to turn it though 90degreees in the diameter of the tube to get it to go up towards the underside if the dropper is very awkward.

What is the finish like? I'm not overly impressed with mine. Cables guides were really badly welded, paint was shocking. Dropper post routing was not thought out. I know they are cheap but..... I am still considering a gravel frame though as nothing touches them on price.
