7.4kg as shown with the Assioma, which is the same weight as my Tarmac SL6 with the same wheels..! I will replace the crankset eventually but with my other wheelset and a DA crankset I could get to 6.8kg easily.

edit: I will do a fit in a few weeks and cut down the steerer in its final position.
Wow you didn't waste any time building it up, tho literally 2 days before the official end of season. Looking good!

Some very nice builds in this thread! Very interested in this frame as it seems to be very good quality and positive reviews everywhere.

Located in Sweden how are customs applied?
What would be the best way to order a frame? Seems like cycling100 was used initially but is now being bypassed?

I reached out to winspace a few weeks ago and they are releasing a lighter version of their T1500 in december with new colour options.

Finally received my frame after 5.5 months. The build was going smooth until I ran into this issue where the headset/handlebars keep pulling to the left. Wondering if this is just due to the hydraulic cables being coiled originally and therefore exerting tension when run though the frame? I've tried re routing the a few times with no luck. Anyone else have this issue?


Also a few weights for reference:
Exceed RDC Black Large
Frame w/ hangars & bolts: 939
15mm setback Fork(uncut): 389
Seat post: 120
420/100 Bars: 336

Appreciate any advice on how to solve the above issue.

Can't really comment on having the same issue. Is it only when bike is stationary or when in motion as well ? Sounds like your suspicion regarding memory in coiled cables could in fact be valid especially if they are new.

Could it be that one of your hoses is cut too short? I had something similar happen once, the first time I built up a bike on my own.

I think they are cut too short.

I contacted SEKA directly and they asked my to order through Cycling 100. Current delivery times to europe is roughly 3-4 months.

Can’t comment on your cable pulling. But I am surprised with the seatpost weight. Very light.

I actually had this exact problem and almost went crazy while building mine up. Are you routing just the hydraulic hoses without them being attached to anything by chance? If so, fit the hydraulic hoses to the calipers and then bolt them down onto the frame. Routing just the hydraulic hoses alone allowed them to freely twist and turn inside the frame which caused my handlebars to also pull to the left.

@allrandomletters: Interestingly, this looks similar to what my build was going to look like, down to the choice of PM. However, I decided that the DA crank and PM just looks better on that bike, so I spend a family vacation on one. Can anyone stop me, please? ;)

What is your frame size and color?

I was asked to pay my balance 1.5 weeks ago and got a tracking number today, so roughly a week between payment and shipment.

I put a deposit down on a Medium RDC Naked Black. No word on balance payment yet. I asked C100 for an ETA, and they sent a short reply that they would work on it.
