Anyone having problems sticking the seatpost clamp on?
I'm using this from Planet X [34.9mm] size, and can't get the bolt to reach far enough to screw in.

Do I just need to be stronger, or is there some trick I can use?

Don't mind me. I was being an idiot.
Didn't realise it mattered which way up the clamp sits. Forgot about the clamp's lip.

Had the same problem. Used a 34.9 seatpost clamp. I guess that they used too much laquer on the seatclamp area but not enough on the rest of my frame -.- I forced it on and had to skip the ring washer in order to screw it on. Not ideal but it worked out.

The colour is awesome. As mentioned before red metallic. There were also graphite, blue and gold in metallic as an option.

Anyway I finally managed to dial it in alright. Raised the seatpost quite a bit.

Glad it worked out for you too.
That's a nice looker too :)

I had to press my clamp on pretty hard because my frame has had two powdercoats

same as

Samesies.

Anyone have any issues with the seatpost? Put mine in yesterday and no shifting it today :S 31.6mm

Greased?

Yep had to cut good 8cm of my seatpost in order to get my desired saddle height ... it seems that they didn't prepared the seat tube for a seatpost the whole way ...

?? how far does it go?

i think i may cry if i have to cut down my new 410mm thomson...

just go to a bike shop and get the ST reamed

Greased?

Yup thou my post is fairly long.

I got it in to 1.5inches before the FSA graphic. Can move side to side okish but no matter how much force I use to pull it up no shifting it. Any advice?

Moar force.

Did you send CAD diagrams or just measurements?

I am perfectly satisfied with the frame. Exactly as specified. Can't complain about the contact with Robert either...

do NOT send him CAD diagrams, if you do make sure you fill out a table as well and explain everything and ask for details to be confirmed before they post it. Though now I can't recommend buying from them at all.

Here are 2 cad drawings I sent him

Instead of referring to both images and understanding them he only built it from his misunderstood view of the first one.

I got a lo pro frame, with a 60cm+ seat tube, 140mm HT, BB drop is 10mm too low, frame is 2cm longer. I also stated 135mm rear spacing and got 120mm.

I sent Robert a BikeCad drawing. I made him confirm the specifications to make sure there are no misunderstandings. Worked out fine for me.

Blimey, that's one messy chart.

Blimey, that's one messy chart.

With measurements that isn't relevant for the frame build up (first link).

Blimey, that's one messy chart.

I didnt want to say anything not to play devils advocate again but yeah, the first one I think looks like a wormhole formula rather than a bike geo diagram..

Many of those measurements are redundant if he's just building you a frame.
