Silly question from somebody who doesn't know much about SEKA, but would they start offering the "Ostro Gravel" (Exceed Gravel) any time soon? I could do with that..

Took a quick picture after finishing the build today. I like the frame a lot :)

That's a gorgeous looking bike. Could you share your BB to Saddle Height?

Interesting. Do you have long legs for your hight or did you just want a bigger drop to bars by going a size down?

I'm usually 735-740 depending on saddle and was looking at the m for a slightly higher front.
Sorry for all the questions but yours is the first one I've seen that is lust worthy 🤗

Does anyone know the difference in weight between the various RDC colors?

Yep, I prefer to go down one size for all my bikes; pretty normal length legs for my height too (5'10).

I usually do the same thing. Also 5.10, however, I get bad toe overlap on most frames.

You look like you have lots of room unless you have size 15 shoes 😛

Great looking build.

At that saddle height, how close are you to the minimum insertion line on the seatpost?

Getting more and more antsy now. 😆 Please share your order date and when you received your tracking number. I'm hoping to receive an email soon with tracking number. I ordered my white RDC with stem and bar combo (small) on July 13th. I've also paid in full in advance because I didn't want to spend the money on other stupid things. 🤣🤣

TIA!

Ordered an RDC in Large on April 30th through cycling100. With the lockdown in June/July I imagine orders will be delayed a few months depending on frame type/size and who you purchased through.

I found this while searching for more info.
It's a breakdown list of weights for all parts

Excellent find!
Nice to see, for instance, they have saved 5g of weight on the Garmin mount, compared to the very similar looking one on Factor O2/Ostro :D The cockpit weight is solid too.
Minimum bike categories required in the stable:
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike
