Finally catching up to this thread. Between this bike and other new bikes (like the TFSA options), I gotta say chinertown has really been spoiled with low-cost low-weight semi-aero bike options lately.   

Thought you all would appreciate my new decal job 

I've put 35 mm gravelking slicks + a FD and double chainrings on and have been riding it as an all-road bike for spring season while my race bike is on the trainer. This thing is truly comfortable, silent, and serene to ride around on.

I have also really been enjoying using this bike as an all-road bike in the suburbs of Boston. I didn't realize "all road" was not just a gimmick.
I can ride out to areas with trails and pop in and out of the trail systems as I please. My routes can get so much more interesting and varied than they used to be. I can cut through areas, avoid busy roads much more easily than with a road bike. Super fun.

I'll agree with previous posters' points about this bike riding slow. It feels solid when I stand up and sprint but something grinding out at tempo on this bike doesn't feel particularly efficient. I can't tell if it's my tires, breaking in a new chain, if it's that I'm just super out of shape this spring, or if it's all in my head. It's weird because I never felt this way last fall, I even rode it 30 miles across the city on the road in CX guise, and it felt like a rocket. 

But for me that doesn't matter right now. I'm just trying to ride spring base miles and enjoy. Maybe as I get stronger I'll change my mind and find that it actually rides faster that I thought.

I’m finally catching up to this thread—those claimed specs are amazing—if true, this group set is lighter than SRAM red AXS for equivalent parts.

The availability of a rim brake version is really nice too. I can see some old frames getting resurrected with electronic shifting.

I use two sets of 21H goldix hubs.. one with Ratchet and one 4 pawl.
I tried meanwhile to find the article numbers in the app.. sorry that's not working .. please enlighten me.. 

I think these links should work? I find that by adding .html I can get to the product page.

I'm considering both options at the moment. The pawl version is appealing for its light weight, but the fact the axle isn't anodized is a problem for me. Do you know if the ratchet version has an anodized axle?

2:1 spoke ratio hub is very appealing to me too.   Does any know if these hub would be quiet or noisy?

The Goldix R240 is a 4-pawl system while the no-name version (that looks like a DT-swiss hub) is a 36t ratchet. I wouldn't expect either to be exceptionally loud.

Is token available in your area? I have a T47:24mm spindle Token BB with steel bearings on my Seka. No complaints, spins smooth.

USA Seka (non RDC) owner here. I had a warranty issue and it was processed pretty well all things considered—I can vouch for the after sales service. Fantastic frame, it’s been very nice. If you can get a hold of one at a decent price I’d say it’s worth it. I think the Tavelo is pretty much the same spec frame though, I’d also consider that one in today’s market.
