I got mine a couple of days ago. Initial impressions are mixed. I should have it built by the end of next week. I shall try and get some pictures up. I'm waiting on parts.

Maybe it good and very good - mixed degrees of good.
I'm a picky ex-framebuilder who notices all the details of frame construction. There are a couple of finish issues and the drive side dropout was damaged in shipping. I had to chase and deburr the der hanger holes because they didn't mask before powdercoating. The frame didn't come with a seatpost clamp. The headtube wasn't reamed/faced after welding. Chainstay relief on driveside is a bit excessive. If I'm going to break this bike, this will be it's Achilles heal.oly said:
Good initial points:
Nice beefy dropouts.
Lots of tire clearance (I fit a 2.5 mobster in there with lots of room)
Beefy externally machined headtube
Nice laser cut gussets
Very good looking welds for a bike at this price. The powder is a fairly thin type so you can get a good idea of weld quality. Penatration on headtube looks very consistant.
So far, there aren't any problems that can't be corrected with standard bike shop tools. For the price, you are not going to get even close to this much bike from anybody else.
My Azonic... Im not sure if the pic will work... I dont know how
