Had two repeated failed deliveries from DPD on my L size frameset, without receiving single call from couriers. C100 sent me email reminder right next day to call DPD, when I actually reach them they seem to have no clue where the package is and still waiting for their response. Quite a black friday mess...

Ordered AR565 flyweight carbon-ti xhub with internal spokes today. Hopefully I can have everything built before new year if DPD doesnt mess it and return package back to china, as C100 kindly reminded me about :shock:

So, I have a complaint now: facing of the caliper mounts seems to be pretty bad to non-existent, actually. The rear ones actually have paint on them, so alignment is pretty bad and it will have to go to a shop to have them re-faced. Now, I've seen this same problem with much more expensive frames before, but still kind of disappointing.

Anyone else with the same issue?

That sucks. And not many shops carry a facing tool. Lucky that I have one myself, I already had to use t several times

Well, build done. Bad brake alignment solved by careful filing.

Exactly 7,5 kg as on the pic, which is pretty ok for a size L disc brake frame and 50mm wheels I think. And oh boy, do I like the looks of it! Too bad that weather in Germany finally turned Winter-like, so hardly any chance for a proper test ride any time soon.

I spoke to SEKA and C100 two weeks ago about placing an order. They said currently there is a projected lead time of about 10 to 12 week's...... I wont hold my breath. Anyway I am not in a rush so took the plunge and placed a order for a L RDC Naked Black. Will post updates as time ticks on.
Just an update on this. I recevied the following email yesturday basically a month after paying the deposit " Happy to tell that your SEKA frame is ready to ship! Would you like to pay the balance so we can push SEKA to ship your frame soon " So I guess its pay up and hope it doesnt take forever.

183 cm. Geometry appears almost identical to my fuji climbing frame in size 56, except seka does not have 25sb option, therefore compensating with longer stem.
Keep us noted with compontent weights.

I got shipment notification with tracking exactly a week after balance payment. Shipment itself took another 9 days to Slovenia (DPD).

Thanks!

Forgot to post a couple of shots of the inside of the frame... I build bikes as an hobby and this one is definitely one of the cleanest looking inside of a frame I have ever seen...

Top picture is the downtube, bottom one is where the chainstay meets the BB.

Just received my RDC frame today in a size large,110/42 bars. Really quick shipping from UPS from when they provided notice it was being sent. It was a long wait but worth it.Will be building it up with Sram Red AXS and Zipp 303 Firecrest rims. Pictures to come with final weight.
