It was originally based on the Avenger TM6 frame from Hongfu but it looks like they have made quite a few changes to that in the last year. Interesting sizing.. It is very tall and very short, reach on the XL frame is only ~425mm

Trend these days seems to be short and tall bikes, even the new Cervelo p2/p3 frames are much taller and shorter than 3-4 years ago.

I found it strange too that there was no di2 option. I think di2 is made for TT bikes with have an added option of shifterd on the breaks as well as bars.

$1300 plus duty and VAT... so more like $1700, if you are caught for for import fees.
