Hi, I bought Lekki8 from Ted Ciamillo in 2021 and while the product delivered is as stated (light and functional, though does not provide as powerful braking as the heavier mainstream products), I had to wait 3 MONTHS for the product to arrive, following my payment.

In the meantime, I was deceived and manipulated by Ted in his procrastinating emails and lost a lot of nerves and time. The delay also messed up my training and racing plans.

All in all, I am fortunate not to have been completely robbed by this person. Customer service at Ciamillo is horrible, so take that into account when considering purchasing an otherwise cool product from TC.

14g lighter than the equivalent Clavicula SE if this render is to be believed. Let's see if the real world weight figure holds up.

Regardless, I'll stick to my rule of never giving Ted any benefit of the doubt. I've already been fooled once.

Only $1888 before tax https://www.lekki8.com/product-page/gra ... atin-black
WITHOUT POWER METER

Why on earth would someone buy this when THM clavicula, already the most expensive crankset is way cheaper, and for the same price can get the power meter version?
