Seems not to fit. Or did you receive it bent - hence why the front is furled upwards?

Also it looks aggressively tapered ... Not sure the genuine one is like that.

Stick and rubber are tottaly different shape that is why not fitting perfectly

Think it's better to keep it as is.  More likelihood of them considering other things like DM hanger and rubber cover for seatpost etc.

If nobody else has paid by Sunday, I'll pay another $50, leaving only another $50 needed, which I'm sure the community could find.

[BiciDomingo]

Guys, I can do another $15.

[RDY]

Paid another $50 ($100 total). 

So that's $50 left, or $35 left if Bicidomingo pays another $15

[Gigelz]

i can cover the rest, 35$. always hard to have enough money as i am a student but i like the idea of a non setback seatpost !

[BiciDomingo]

Paid another $15. Many thanks RDY for arranging this.

Thanks.  If you go ahead please post the PP receipt.  I'll then contact Chris to confirm it's all paid and that the mold is being started.

[Gigelz]

Paid the 35$

[Velovelo]

Great job guys!, can't wait to hear Chris say "Seat posts are ready!"

Does anyone have experience with fixing minor chainstay scratches caused by chain drop while riding?
I saw on youtube someone used a powerful adhesive like in the attached image or do I need to take it to a local carbon repairer shop? In my opinion the scratch as shown in my 099 image is not too deep to apply a new carbon layer.
I now use a chain catcher on all my frames.

That looks minor. I used a couple of layers of clear coat nail polish.

Can those who contributed to the mold costs DM me with your first name and initial of your last name, please.  I'll then relay these to Chris.

There was a bit of a SNAFU with the mold cost apparently. It being $800 rather $500.  Rather than trying to raise extra money I suggested that they add $20 extra to the price of the zero offset posts instead.  Chris accepted this, and has also agreed to honor the originally quoted $30 price for the seatposts, or to charge no extra if ordering a frameset with a zero instead of normal seatpost, for those who contributed to the mold costs.  Others who didn't will be charged $50 for just the zero seatpost, or $20 if choosing it in preference to the normal one with a frameset.

Having the name list will ensure that you get your discount.

From what I understood, work on the mold started a week or so ago, and Chris originally said it would take about 20 days to finish.
