How can any self-proclaimed Weight Weenie not want one? 
Seriously though, with the inside looking like this? Where can I order this frameset?

That would be approximately EURO 2936/- . or US$3798/-

Question really is how does the European VAT apply on this. Currency conversion is pretty straightforward.

Not a big fan of the frame graphics but forgivable. That build is awful though. Most heavily graphic-ed seatpost and stem (which looks too short), a huge spacer stack, and white ssaddle and tape, when they is no white anywhere else on the bike.

Also does it look like that carbon weave behind the YONEX decals is a sticker? As it goes from gloss weave to what looks to be matt UD, or is it just matt black paint?

i think most of the frame is just painted semigloss black and the area around the logo was masked off.
pretty cool frame, i wonder how big the largest size actually is. i was looking at some bikes from other japanese manufactures and some their "large" sized frames were just 54 0r 56

Yonex frame geometry. The only listed sizes are XS, S, M.

It is indeed low and racy with short head tube and long top tube - I like it.
However they give you an "A" distance - to the seat lock- which is meaningless
and they do not give you the distance to the virtual horizontal top tube that represents
a frame size for anyone who favors bike riding to playing tennis.
This is an attempt to crumb cycling population into three frame sizes only, XC being a nod to Japanese market .
Thus the 80mm stem which is on $4000 frame is like stringing your carbon Yonex racquet with fishing line.

Can someone here on this forum please build a kick ass ultralight build with this frameset?

Do they have a distributor for the USA?
