I placed an order for the F8 saddle top cap on June 24th. I received confirmation but nothing of a timeline for completion.

Is he pretty good at delivering in a timely manner?

He was also very responsive by email for me. If you have any questions, just write him.

If you're in another country shipping/clearing customs will be the most likely place you'll incur a delay.

I like doing business with Berk, and will again when I need another saddle, but it can take a bit to get something from there into the US for example.

I ordered the same Berk saddle clamp for my Pinarello F10. It was actually delivered to me in the US before I had a chance to send the PayPal payment to Berk. I guess Jure believed I was a trustworthy buyer.

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

Agree, he’s an awesome guy to deal with. He’s replacing a saddle where the clear coat chipped without any issues

Yes. It is easy to install. I used a little carbon assembly paste. Torque to 5Nm instead of the 8Nm indicated on the seat post.

Got it. Does anyone make an aftermarket Pina post?

I've had an excellent experience ordering from Jure Berk.
I wanted an item that is not standard (lukna saddle, recovered), so it wasn't in stock. Got it within a week, maybe less.
Responsive, fast, great product.
