My size 54 unpainted glossy frame was originally scheduled to be delivered April 5, now end of April to the US (including the ~2-week delivery time). LC attributes the delay to the QC improvements related to the better latex mold release and endoscope inspection.
"Due to the added QC check point (with endoscope), the QC inspection time for each frame has increased, which make the progress slightly slower than before."
LC also found some defects in the earliest batch of BC-11 cages. I'm sticking with the BC205 since I like the cleaner lines in any case.
"As soon as I get your feedback regarding BC11 bottle cage issue, I arranged a meeting within our team.
Then our QC inspect again all the stock of BC11, testing with standard water bottle. Among the stock 120 pcs, there were 25 pcs be judged as unqualified (not tight enough).
Those 25 pcs were from early batch of production and has now destroyed.
As you can see in attached picture, the one that was a bit too loose, due to top shape that not full grip the water bottle.
This has also been added to our QC check point now, so there should be no longer such issue bottle cage reach our customers.
For those bottle cage that were too loose, we will ask our customer to take picture to check this point and will arrange replacement for them."
