Reached out to The Bike Doctors in SG and they confirmed that they have no ETA due to the lockdown in Shanghai and Beijing, along with the shortage of shipping containers at ports. I thought the bikes were shipping from Shanghai though...

The city will gradually reopen as of June 1 and some shops will be open this week.

Has anyone been able to access the Cycling100 website in the last few days? I've tried on several occasions over the weekend but no joy.

Still not working for me, not sure what's going on. I've tried it on several computers but with no success. I'm getting an error message that the site is unsafe, wonder is it a UK thing? Not sure.

derkv, can you measure the width between the chainstays were the tire sits. Seka claim 30mm tire clearance, but the space between the chainstays looks like it could take much more.
It's approximately 40mm. I currently have 28mm tires mounted with around 6mm per side of free space.
40????? On the rear lower end section of the chainstay?

Then it would be possible to run 35mm with no problem.

Seka exceed rdc goes gravel?
2.5mm either side of the tyre is not enough clearance. IIRC the British standard is 4mm either side.
This is plenty. Unless your frame and wheels are wet noodles, then 2.5-3mm will work just fine.

A good friend of mine has an RDC in black and it's f'ing sick! Everything about it is on par with any other brand that I've seen. It looks really good and he says it rides pretty incredible.

It does look excellent. I wish the geometry wasn't quite so relaxed but I am still intrigued

Also really interested in an RDC but shipping to Ireland has big tax costs. If they did pre paid ems shipping I'd be all over one.
Having said that, I'm still not a fan of the silver decals.

Can't see why there's a problem with pre-paid shipping. I recently took delivery of a wheelset from Farsports, duty paid and carried by WXY, that was delivered in 10 days with no extra charges. I'm sure if they can carry wheels, they could carry a bike frame.
