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.

I didn't have any problems mounting those on my DA7600's. Used some grease and was able to screw them on fully by hand. After that I used the chainwhip to tighten it up.

What spokes are you aiming for? DT Competition 2.0/1.8/2.0 or the DT Champion 2.0/2.0/2.0? I am also pretty sure that the silver spokes are way cheaper than the black ones. I would also pull the trigger on the prolock nipples (black) which have a sort of integrated loctite thingy in it. Had them built up my DA7600 to Mavic Open Pros and they did a fantastic job.

This thread inspired me (a long time lurker) to order a Mielec frame as well. It is a Mash copy size "S" with red metallic colour. I just wanted you to know that you should pay special attention to the colour surface. My frame was painted poorly as if the colour was just shoot at it from one side. The BB area doesn't have enough colour and you can see the raw frame. Same goes for the seat clamp area. The overall surface is not smooth but grainy. Other than that I am quite happy with it.
(Yes NDS fail but I am a lazy bump)
Stupid question maybe but Arttu are those the new dropouts everybody's etching to see?!
