Anyone else not receiving their orders… Anyone else not receiving their orders from Ted? I paid for the 'on-sale' crankset 6/2/23. Was told estimated shipping 6/28/23 and I never received it. I emailed a follow-up on 7/14/23 and received an email from Ted on 7/25/23 stating should be out by the end of that week provided his machine was back on line. I followed up again on 8/28/23 and now nothing from Ted to date just radio silence. I purchased the lekki8 brakes from Ted (review below) and transaction was uneventful. I'll update this review if anything changes but I wanted to share with the community my ongoing experience. 9/24 Update - I received an email from Ted on 9/12 in regards this review. He stated he was hoping to get the crankset sent out by the end of the week or 9/15. Still nothing. I have notified my bank about what is going and filed a claim. They are currently investigating.

CIAMILLO DESIGN LLC Brilliant engineer that's always on the cutting edge of the bicycle parts industry. Its not everyday that you have someone that can "IMA-GINEERED" a product just by talking about it and coming out with a working product within months. Only be-spoked companies like Ciamillo Design can actually cut all the board room ho ha's and just get on with the job! Just look at the B-1 Brompton Brake Caliper and Gravitas13 cranksets, pretty impressed with the details and workmanship and they really work when installed!

Never received product I ordered and paid for a swim fin back while I was on deployment. When I returned to the states, I sent several emails reminding him that I had not received my product yet. I had several phone calls with Ted. Each phone call he told me "It'll be ready in 2 weeks." Eventually he just stopped answering my phone calls and emails. Just to make sure, I sent another email recently. I am pretty sure he blocked me.

Lekki8 brakes I purchased the L8 ultra directly from Ted. I used them for about 3 months but after not being able to get enough power out of them I contacted Ted for some advice. Although I had no intention on returning them, Ted offered to exchange them for the Lekki8. The Lekki8s are way more powerful, adjustable and superlight weight. I’m really happy now. More than anything, I appreciate Ted’s commitment to make his customers happy. I will definitely be back for more. Thanks

I'm happy customer :-) Ted Ciamillo makes ultra-light brakes for road bikes and the Brompton folding bike from England. I wanted to use the B1 brake for Brompton on my T Line Urban. The pair consisting of front and rear brake weighs only 133 g. That is about 250 g less than the standard brakes. I feel that the braking performance is just as good. My goal is to get the Brompton T Line under 7 kg. The weight saving on the brakes definitely helps. The communication with Ted Caimiello went very well. Ted usually answered quickly (a few minutes to hours, he lives in a time zone six hours away from me). Delivery was delayed due to organisational issues and I was beginning to fear the same thing happening to me that may have happened to other reviewers in the past. Our communication remained professional and solution oriented and eventually the brake was shipped and delivered. Thank you very much Ted! 27 March 2023 - Date of order and payment 03 May 2023 - Date of dispatch (US Postal) 12 May 2023 - Date of delivery (DHL)
