Asking those who have received their freamsets.

How many headset spacers were included with the frameset?

TY in advance!
I had 4 spacers in my box.

Early in May and two weeks ago.
What frame / color combination did you order? Did you order the cockpit too (which size)?

For reference I ordered (end of March) the RDC in Naked black in L with a 100x400 cockpit. Seka is working in production batches and the lead times will vary, but I'm curious to compare. I suppose the smaller sizes are the most common ones due to the domestic market, and these sizes are prioritized.

Pre-ordered June 15th, RDC Naked Black in small. 0mm Setback / 110x400 cockpit
Got the email to pay off the remaining balance last night.

Edit: Tracking number received September 13 (6 days after final payment). Frameset received on September 25 (12 days, USA).
Cycling100 let me switch out to 110x380 bars at the last second but sent me a 15mm setback post despite two confirmations :shock:
Took 14.5 weeks in total. Covid lockdowns probably slowed it a bit.

I queried this with both C100 and Seka, receiving pretty much the same answer to both emails. I think you are right in your assertion that some sizes are more readily available than others and this explains why some lads are receiving their frames even though they placed their orders at a later date.

They're now telling me that my size large will be delivered in early October so I'm assumimg that you may well be in the same position. By that time the weather here in Ireland will be wet just about 24/7 so it's unlikely that the Seka will ridden until next Spring... Hopefully that little fecker Putin doesn't nuke us before then!!

I received a shipment notification from DHL last night, but I'm not entirely sure it's my frame. C100 confirmed that they use DHL for Canada and the shipment is from "HONG YAN RESOURCES INT LTD.", but the status of my order still says "unfulfilled".

I'm optimistic so let's say it's my frame..!

edit: false alarm it's the gravel frameset I ordered 4 weeks ago..

first ride, short loop, windy day, mostly flat, i did a running this mosrnig so i wasnt in that mood to attack some slopes
compared to my old willier gtr team with same wheels 50mm deep but not with disk brakes,
its fast, handles cross wind very well i didnt have that feeling like on willier that it will throw my handlebar all over the place,
when i push hard into my peddals i feel that power immediately transferred to wheels compared to my willier with power loss due to bottom bracket areea not so stiff
for the momment i have tubes but next year i will go for tubeless
its very confy, i have to wait for some big slopes and descents to have more testing coverage, so far i'm very impressed

Got my tracking # today. Looks like they're catching up a bit for the smaller sizes at least

Quick question, anyone knows if the seatpost is identical to the factor ostro? Looking to swap out the default one with a darimo

My Frame arrived today and everything seems to be in order. First impression: it was worth the wait! 🥳

This price increase pressured me to place my order.

Let's hope cycling100 will not try to enforce it, even if can afford it.

Anyway, I'm mentally ready to use PayPal protection or my credit card insurance to get my money back if something goes wrong with cycling100. I don't know why but I fear some kind of exit scam... (well in fact I exactly know why)
Today, I already received the mail asking me to pay for the balance.

Nice build! Also planning on using ultegra and have the same wheels.

What saddle is that?
