What email address are people using that C100 responds to? They've been ignoring my support@ emails for months. Wild. $350 write off, but at least I didn't buy a frame from them.

I normally just use the chat window on their website.

Exactly after 13 weeks I received my frame. It's very well made and looks better than I expected. There's nothing to complain about, painting is even and very well done, weights exactly as in the specification. Ink black looks superb. I am very happy with my decision at this point but time will tell.

With regard to the order itself I had no problems at all although in fact I didn't know anything about its status until an email after 10 weeks about full balance payment. So patience came in handy. I did not contact cycling100 at all, only the ordering itself through the website, where I immediately specified the size of the handlebars and additionally bought the bottom bracket and derailleur hangers. It was premeditated as I didn't want to leave any room for miscommunication so I tried to specify everything as accurately as possible from the very beginning, I know this shouldn’t be the standard, but I knew it was hard to contact them later.

Frameset: Exceed, Size M, Ink Black, 1055g
Handlebar: 400x90, 331g
Seatpost: 119g uncut
Fork: 389g uncut

Are you able to see the carbon weave through the finish or is Ink Black totally uniform?

It's almost completely uniform and non transparent, I would say 95-98% opaque.

where did order it from?

Just placed an order through C100 for a Naked black RDC, L. Will keep an eye on my inbox in 10-12 weeks and see how it goes!

Hey there, just joined up. Been following this thread since maybe page 20 but just now made an account. In any case, I placed an order at the end of June for the navy blue frame, paid the initial deposit, was told by C100 that it would be shipped in October, heard that they would be shipped in end of November, and still don't really have anything to show. I ended up just contacting seka through messenger, with a way faster response than C100, who said on Wednesday that it would be shipped in a few days. I ordered an L frame size, but I suspect that me asking to change up the handlebars to 120-400 (initially ordered with 110-400) messed something up internally in June-July when I emailed them about the size change.

Crossing my fingers that this is finally it. My birthday is rolling around the corner for the build-up and ordering a new frame was a college grad gift to myself.

Hi
I received a beautiful Sexa Exceed Ink Black frame In M size after 4 month on 11/29/22

https://flic.kr/p/2o6Vr63

The weight 4 all parts, I hope it helps you:

Frameset (size M) = 1019g (only with junction box di2 cover) 1050g (with Standard Derailleur Hanger + 5 bolts)
Front fork = 388g ( uncut )
Seat post: 0mm setback = 115g
Integrated handlebar 110x40 = 332g
Headset bearings = 62g (one bearing 31g)
Bottom Bracket: T47 Token (2x Takino bearings 24377 RS) = 113g
Standard Mount Derailleur Hanger = 10g
Direct Mount Derailleur Hanger = 14g
2xThru axle = 64g ( front 28g, rear 36g)
Compressor Plug For Head Set = 29g
Computer mount = 34g (with garmin adapter and plugs ) 37g ( this computer mount is not plastic )
10mm spacer = 8g
5mm spacer = 4g
Stem clamp = 4g
Headset dust cover = 12g
Battery mount = 16g
7x9 saddle rail clamp = 21g
Seat post rubber cover ( with 7x7 saddle rail ) = 75g
Cable entrance =13g

I mention the fact that I do not regret choosing the standard version ( 1020g ) .
It doesn't really matter to me if the bike weighs 7.4kg or 7.5kg with Ultegra R8100 di2 12 speed at the end .

All these reported weights would suggest that the RDC is only 50-60 grams lighter and not the nearly 200 grams stated by the Seka website.

Kinda makes you question whether the RDC is worth the additional £450.

Keep in mind that the only thing different about the RDC is the frame as both the fork and seatpost are shared.
