My height 1m76 with 74kg
Final weight 7.45kg without pedals (I mention that I have GP5000 TL tires 100g heavier,but for me the weight doesn't matter that much)
What I can tell you is that I went out once for 100 km and it left me speechless.
Great bike, fast
Thank you Seka for this beautiful frame
Thx cycling100
I'm conteplating the same size. I'm 178cm but have long legs/short torso. My saddle height is 765mm from bb center. Whats your saddle height?

I'm a little confused about sizing with this bike.
Past bikes I've ridden:
FM066 @56 - Stack 557.5, Reach 394.2, TT Horiz 559.6, 110mm stem
Ostro @56 - Stack 565, Reach 392, TT Horiz 566, 110mm stem
Based on the geo details here (https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/seka-exceed-2021/), I suppose I'd have to go with a Size L (Stack 571, Reach 387, TT Horiz 561.9) - I'd just end up with a ~120mm stem and an overall less aggressive fit?

They are very close, for example the VAM is under a centimeter lower, and just some millimeters longer. So unless you rode slammed, use 5mm or 10mm less spacers on the SEKA. With the stem it's a toss of 5 mm either way, and your old handlebar reach will have had much more impact on the fit. You can compare that to the SEKA's 77 mm handlebar reach to check what stem length to buy. You probably won't feel much difference either way.inertianinja wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:27 pmBased on the geo details here (https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/seka-exceed-2021/), I suppose I'd have to go with a Size L (Stack 571, Reach 387, TT Horiz 561.9) - I'd just end up with a ~120mm stem and an overall less aggressive fit?
I like to compare geometry over here, you can even dial in stem length and handlebar reach and see everything as a nice drawing:

I even got a (human) email reply from cycling100 for a change!
Paid the balance for my frame, now the waiting game starts.

The Seka L and Ostro 56 is very close, and I even think you will have to use more spacers on the Seka because of the different cockpit stack height. The Seka cockpit is the lowest i have measured, and I had to use 5mm more spacers than I thought. If you rode a standard Black Inc cockpit with the Ostro the stack height is 10mm higher than the Seka. So it will be no problem to get within a couple of mm of the fit of the Ostro.inertianinja wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:27 pmI'm a little confused about sizing with this bike.

Am I misreading or isnt' the Seka higher? I read the Seka as a less aggressive bike (higher stack, shorter reach, lax-er HTA).LAN wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 7:15 pmThe Seka L and Ostro 56 is very close, and I even think you will have to use more spacers on the Seka because of the different cockpit stack height.

I currently ride the Ostro with zero spacers, 110mm Blackinc barstem (which, honestly, is just a bit longer than I'd prefer, due to the reach of the bars), so I assumed the Seka would require me to go longer because i couldn't go any lower.

I think their banner said the whole team had Covid.
They do seem to be more active again. Just got my notification to pay the remaining balance. My pre order was placed onn 16 Dec for a L RDC transparent black, 0sb seatpost and a 90mm/42cm barstem.
My thought was that COVID-zero related restrictions were repealed right before CNY. Things seemed to have gotten really slow at the end of the calendar year when we were hearing news related to sweeping lockdowns. With that + CNY being over I guess things are back to normal for them.
You are reading it correctly, just perhaps not understanding what LAN is trying to tell you. The bikes are very close. Yes the Seka frame is bit taller and bit shorter. However, the Seka handlebar is lower stack - meaning your shift levers will end up lower than on the Seka with the same spacers. You may have to add spacers to the Seka to bring up the shift levers. Capiche? And don't go 10mm longer just because a bike might be a couple of mm taller. The math doesn't quite work like that. Better just to bend the elbows a fraction of a degree more. Now I am off to watch some 70's porn.inertianinja wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 8:54 pmAm I misreading or isnt' the Seka higher?

So I ended up canceling my order. As my current frame developed a small crack in the last month. It is being replaced under warranty with an updated version. Therefore I didnt see the need to have two new framesets. The money can be spent on other goodies. For a piece of mind the refund process was pretty straight foward. I emailed Cycling100 asking for a refund. When they reponded it was proccessed via a payment platform called Oceanpayment through whom the origional payment to Cycling100 was processed last year.

I cancelled my order too after picking up a Wilier Filante SLR. The peace of mind not having to deal with overseas shipment and long delivery times if something happens is what made me cancel it. Now I get to ride a super nice bike that was on a deal and I get to support my LBS who I really want to stay around.
I'm sure the Exceed RDC is a great frame but I've spent months waiting for frames and parts in the past and know how it feels.
Refund was done within a few days. No issues.
