Takeaways
Support1:09From mid-2022, viewers who had paid deposits for Exceed framesets through the online retailer Cycling 100 told the presenter about long delays, slow replies and difficulty getting deposits back, though each case appeared to be resolved eventually.
Support2:27A local friend of the presenter who paid a deposit got no answer to questions or to a refund request under the retailer's 30-day policy, while a sales enquiry sent under another name was answered quickly.
Support3:24The refund arrived 8–10 weeks later, after the presenter intervened.
Support3:39The retailer said its customer support had improved, but the presenter could no longer recommend buying through it.
Finish and faults4:03The presenter still recommends the Exceed RDC frameset and, now that a hub issue has been resolved, the wheels supplied with it, suggesting other sales channels for both.

A July 2022 long-term review of a medium SEKA Exceed RDC built with SRAM AXS 1× and 60 mm wheels, with weights and a carbon specialist's ultrasound view. The dealer build listed here may use the RDC or the standard frame.
Cam Nicholls · 2022-07-26. The creator calls this a sponsored project: retailer Cycling 100 gave him the frameset and wheels and paid him for selected videos, including this one; he says he earns no sales commission. The frame is the Exceed RDC; the candidate dealer build does not state whether it uses the RDC or standard Exceed frame.Disclosure basis.
Takeaways
Price at publication2:07He gives about AU$11,500 (US$8,000) for the complete project build; by publication the frameset and wheels had each dropped about US$300, and frames were sold by deposit with a 12-week lead time.
Measured2:22His medium build with SRAM AXS 1×, a Rival power meter and 60 mm wheels weighed 7.5 kg with pedals; he lists the frame at 885 g, the uncut fork at 383 g, the 100 × 400 mm integrated bar at 350 g and the wheels at 1,460 g.
Finish and faults4:31A carbon specialist's ultrasound found the frame consistent and well made but very thin, with little margin for error; the creator could not vouch for durability for riders over about 90 kg on harsh roads.
Ride impression5:48He describes the geometry as relaxed for an aero bike and the ride as softer and less aggressive than the stiffest aero frames he has ridden.
Support7:37Like other direct-from-China frames, he expects less warranty and support infrastructure than mainstream brands, which lowered his practicality score.
Fit check8:07At 179 cm he normally rides size 54 with a 100 mm stem; he found this frame slightly short in reach and would have fitted a 110 mm stem.

Takeaways
Repeats a maker claim0:00The RDC layup is described as about 180 g lighter than the standard Exceed in a medium; he thinks it likely shares a factory with Factor.
Measured3:29Weighed: medium frame 885 g and bars 350 g; the complete Force AXS build with Vortex 60 mm wheels came in just under 7.5 kg with power-meter pedals.
Price at publication3:29Frameset with bars cost A$3,230 in 2021, about US$600 more than a Winspace T1500 with integrated bar.
Fit check5:00The medium runs slightly small with a 535 mm effective top tube and moderate race geometry; 30 mm tires should fit, though he runs 25 mm.
