Oh that's grifting influencer Cam Nicholls he was a massive Winspace fan he must have switched allegiance for $$$? I built up an Argon nitrogen rim brake frameset a couple of years ago.I paid £1700 i think on clearance from Merlin but if this was available then i would have been tempted over the Nitrogen for the money especially as you get the integrated bar/stem with this.

For anyone interested, I ended up ordering a Seka Exceed RDC and it’ll get some parts off another bike. Seems to be an 8 week turnaround.
Shall provide feedback for anyone interested, but basically my reason for going this route is that I wanted: (i) an aero frameset that wasn’t a boat anchor (no real use case for “full aero” in Japan as it’s too mountainous); (ii) threaded BB (this is T47); and (iii) clearance for 700 x 30 or over (there’s some races with some gravel here that better suit wider clearance).
Originally I’d wanted an SL7 or perhaps an Ostro, but both are mental prices and shite availability at present. Time will tell, but this doesn’t seem to be too far from those framesets.

Yeah, they look nice and I guess not totally crazy money in 2022's climate. Quite like that they offer lifetime warranty on the frames. They appear to have 2 models, Exceed and Exceed RDC. RDC is more expensive and 775g unpainted! If I take the gamble, I'd probably go for the cheaper one re I'm heavy and weight not really a primary concern.
This guy seems to have done a few videos on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlMnJmZckr4
Including this one where he goes to a carbon 'expert' for inspection (report is positive): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSn2DZPZVnU
Problem is that seems like a bit of a grifting influencer, and I'm not sure I trust a word that comes out of his paid-partnership-funded mouth.
