My partner has a pair since the beginning of the summer, version 2, which has some arch support. She is satisfied so far.

Definitely on my purchasing list  :)

Oh nice. My order went into production today. Maybe will get it in about 1-2 weeks!

I ordered Shimano Ultegra 8170 groupset froma anrancee cycling store 2 weeks ago. I've had 2 tracking codes that won't update. They're just created labels no package is ever sent.
The last one I got a week ago it shows in UPS and says package not received.

I even paid for the faster shipping. Does anyone had any similar problems? I've contacted the store and he said he is waiting for reply for more information. It's weird because he has such a good reputation I'd like to believe it's just some mistake.

I ordered from Anrancee as well. Shimano Ultegra 8170 about $1600, waited for coupon deal which was $-110 and the Rakuten 25% cash back. So paid about $789 USD + $15 duty. Put it together connected to E-tube and everything works well. Have put 500 km on it and no problems at all.

1) I can handle 50 in the front on windy days fine. 45 should be significantly better. the rear doesnt matter much, so 55 is fine. I run 65 on the rear and don't notice much difference.
3) I run 16/18 on a set from XMCS and weigh around the same as you do. Peter said I was plenty light enough for 16/18, and I've been throwing myself down rough roads to put together a proper review, and they're fine. Broke my bike computer mount on a crack in the road, and the wheels held up fine. If you want a super stiff bike, you can get more spokes. Width doesn't really matter. Go narrow to save weight, or go wide for aesthetics

1. That's good to know.
3. I know XMCS do have a different weight limits and they were also on my radar, will keep that in mind regarding the 16/18!

Currently have the Elite-Wheels Marvel 50D wheels but eyeing for a new set of wheels. Probably saving for a set for next year, some questions I had:
1. For an all rounder wheelset, is 45F 55R good especially on some windy days?
2. I know that there are 3 carbon versions, I weigh 185lbs which version would be recommended?
3. How many spokes, and what width?
4. I have seen some pictures of some wheels and was tending towards the no paint look but then saw the glossy one. Are there any pictures that compare the look side by side?

Has anyone received their shoe yet? I pretty interested in how the fit and comfort is, since I have pretty flat feet with no arch. Does it come with arch support?
Currently waiting at 12 weeks and production hasn't even started yet. Some updates would be nice.
