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.
I have the same issue but noticed only when everything was routed and the shifters installed. If I hold the bike in the air, the handlebars will turn 90 degrees to the left. It's not a massive deal for now (especially that we have snow outside...), but will definitely address in March/April if it's still an issue.

In my case the hoses came pre-fitted on the calipers and the same solution wouldn't fix the issue for me..

AR465 I think. Not too deep, but enough for me since I'm defintely a light weight and that will be plenty of most conditions. Keen to get some thing deeper 60-65mm for nice flat days though.

Just got my new Dura-ace 12 speed group in. Planned build looks like it will come in at 15.5 pounds with computer and pedals. Weights based on actual (where available), and reported frame weights in this thread. Let me know if something in the plan looks off.

BTW if anyone can poke Jonathan and make my frame ship, that would be great.

Looks very similar to my planned build, targetting sub 7kg...

Looks great, what LB wheels and finish are those?
Thanks! The wheels are the AR55 with the paintless finish @ 1380g

When did you place your order with LB? Seems like an incredibly fast delivery time given you also got the BF discount. I know they were offering it a few weeks early via email before it was officially announced, but still.

This is my third wheelset from them so they let me get the discount a bit early through email order. Ordered 10/16 and shipped 11/15.

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.
Not to derail the thread too much, but any more info on the T1500 update? That sounds a bit interesting....

Hello everyone,

I want to instal ultegra di2 12 speed when i get my frame but would like to know what holder does anyone with that groupset on the seka exceed is using to hold the battery inside the seatpost?

I am tinking of the holder designed for the giant TCR advanced as the seatposts look very similar in shape but of course nothing better than to hear from someone who already has it instaled.

Thanks in advance, Gr.

Seka includes a di2 battery holder, no need to buy separately.

Just a update after riding my Exceed RDC L size for more than 1 year now.

Upgraded:
Groupset: Shimano R8070 to Shimano R8170
Crank: incolor Skypivot to Elilee XXE crank
Wheelset: Farsport feder 30mm+RD230 to Elilee X46

It is still 6.82kg, very light weight, aero, stiff enough and comfort for me. :beerchug:

New red sticker matching the AbsoluteBlack red chainring and bar tape :wink:

Got mine last week after about 1 week transfer time from China to Germany. No complaints so far, but also no pictures as I forgot to order the BB tool for the T47 with all the rest of the stuff...
