Got it today, dropouts are pretty ugly (not the new ones, something else). Driveside looks pretty good, but the non-drive side is massive due to the disc mount.
Other than the dropouts, everything looks really good. The welds are nice and smooth and the offset rear wheel fits perfect. There's probably room for 100mm rims and 4.8" tires. BFL's on 80mm rims leave quite a lot of room.
The paint could be better (a little rough in a few places), but more than good enough for me.
Seatpost and clamp fit fine (the seat tube was reamed after paint it seems).
Holzfeller cranks seem to fit with about 4-5mm of clearance on both sides (I'll have to ream and face the bb threads before installing, but looks good). The only thing that's really close is the chainring. I have a 32t on the outer position, and it looks like there'll be about 2-3mm of clearance.
So far I'm very pleased with the result. I'll post photos tomorrow when theres some light, it's too dark now.
It's interesting to see if they will do another fatbike so cheap with all the trouble they had.
