- saddle height to bb: 71cm
- reach to the hoods (ends): 739mm
- reach to the center axis of the handlebars: 664mm
- currently I have been riding on 2.5cm spacers

Hope this helps somewhat

I just wanted to update on the seatpost slipping issues:

I think a major contributor is that at the point I was inserting my seatpost, the bottom was actually hitting the seat tube cutout, slightly angling my post backwards, and likely undermining the friction the compressor could apply. I lopped off a ~3cm and now with a bit of park tool carbon assembly paste, no problems.

I really suggest everyone take a good hard look at how deep their seatpost sits. I don’t have a particularly low one either, the spec seatpost is just ridiculously long. Most people could probably benefit from taking some seatpost off.

I just opened a claim with my bank regarding my deposit refunded. I've now sent 3 emails and no response. Horrible company Cycling100 so if your considering purchasing this frame I'd look for a different distributor.

Thank you very much.
Do you use the seatpost with setback or the zero one?

I ended up sending a followup email with ride@sekabikes.com telling them I need an update or I can file a dispute. They replied back saying my frame was ready for shipping this week and C100 would reach out for rest of payment.We'll see...

For anyone interested, I reached out to SEKA and they told their direct shop for EU/North America should be available in approx 1 month.

Thanks. Looking at the spreadsheet some who ordered around the same time as you have had their frames for a month or so.

Using Muc-Off carbon paste it doesn't slip for me (76kg). However after some months a creaking noise does appear, which then disappears after applying new paste.

I'm the same weight so will try something like that. Not sure if carbon paste can go off but it seems like the grit leaves mine real quick and just turns into a slick film. Which clearly isn't going to help! Did you put any on the wedge face itself?

Didn't put anything on the wedge face.
Thanks or the advice on the slipping seatpost and had issues with the seatpost slipping after about half hour. Took it to my bike mechanic and used carbon paste and didn't work. I followd your recommendation with the Muc Off and clean wedge post, and has worked so far on bumby roads. Thanks again

I've added my data to the spreadsheet now, I see a lot of exceeds but not rdcs. It's getting later into the week and still no balance payment request or response from Cycling100, just SEKA.

I get the impression they paint frames in batches, those of us who got our frames within 10 weeks probably got lucky and ordered a blue frame right around the time Seka shipped a bunch of blue frames to C100.

Basically means it's one big game of roulette. Order the right color/model/size and you get yours quickly. Order wrong, and you end up waiting half a year.

FYI: my plastic Garmin mount (supplied with the frame set/handle bar) broke/fractured a long time ago. I was using a (relatively heavy) gen1 Hammerhead Karoo. Wrote about a warranty replacement to C100 many times, never got a reply.

SEKA took over and handled it quickly. Go the replacement stuff today. Not just the plastic bit, but also the alloy bit and also some new adapter (Go Pro).
Happy with their service!

Has anyone else had issues with seatpost creak/lateral play? I'm now realizing that the seatpost fits VERY slopily in the seat tube, and the compressor does very little to stabilize it. I get about 1 degree of side to side laterally (in the "roll axis") and it creaks like hell. Anyone else have this issue?

[MartinHnik]

Hi there, I'd like to get the integrated handlebars (380/100). According to Seka, there are adapters. Do you know if it will work with 2020 Venge?
