C100 ships to Europe and the US, so most likely from there.

I’ve ordered from Japan and was scheduled to receive my frameset end of this month, but now pushed to mid May (estimated)(paid last week of January 2022).

Again, ordered via Cycling100 (Jonathan there has been very responsive and helpful. Production demand and the slippage is with Seka, not Cycling100).

FYI for anyone wanting to see full builds, I spotted this on Instagram and it seems to be one of the first over here in Japan (original was Japanese and it’s been machine translated, so may read strange).

6.86kg with this setup is really decent.

Here are the first pics (frame size XL).

Also see the updated rear derailleur hanger location compared to the earlier version:

I was a bit afraid that the head tube on the size XL would look a bit out of proportion/clumsy as is often the case with larger size frames, but in real life this is thankfully not the case. It looks awesome!

I also did not have to pay any import tax/VAT for delivery to The Netherlands! Delivery was arranged by Cycling 100 via TakeSend. Final delivery in The Netherlands was with DPD

So what did they do with the hanger location and why? First link won't load for me. Didn't realise they'd made any changes.

Some more pictures. Again the frame size is XL.

Seat post including hardware is around 175gr.
Frame weight is including hardware.

So weight penalty from M to XL is around 120 gr.

What parts will you use to build the bike? Frame weight is pretty decent for a size XL with hardware. Curious to see what my blaze red frameset in size L will come in at.

Unless the photo is deceiving, it looks like there's a crack or big chip out of the alu BB shell at about 8 o'clock - and what's going on at 11 and 12 o'clock? Threads also look pretty rough. Very low grade looking in general. Carbon all looks good and very well finished though.

The main thing that puts me off about this frame is T47 ... the first close up of the shell I've seen has not changed my mind, rather the opposite.

The 8 clock marks I think is just a hairthin touch of paint. Does not look like a crack IMO but more like something black used in production slipped in under masking tape or something in the mold. Could be epoxy or basically anything.

Why not T47? Thought that was supposed to be new thing and something good. Cannot say BB86 is any good at all, especially not with DUB.

Don't worry, no cracks :) Just a bit of paint. Also nothing wrong with the threads, will provide a close-up later!
