That sounds like a problem with the guy working on or putting the bike together.
The UCI ban on the TCR frame was initiated by competing bike makers, that filed complaints. The advantage was that the bike could be made lighter and stiffer without resorting to spending lots of money.
A couple of years later, everyone realised that they could do the same thing and petioned the UCI to unban the compact frames and now just about everybody makes one.
Personally, I wish they would still offer traditional frames for the people looking for them. The Bowerey would have more appeal with a traditional frame. Most of the potential buyers want a look not performance.
