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!

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.

weight weenie heaven Ted was very accommodating to my weight weenie needs. He went above and beyond creating and tuning my brakes. I couldn't be happier with the result. The brakes weigh only 119.8g! (custom red devil l8 ultra) with pad holders, without brake pads. Incredible. Ted sent the brakes back overnight to get them to me before an upcoming trip, which i really appreciate. - Andy

Waiting time - But amazing quality product There is a lot of turmoil and mixed reviews of past transactions about Ted and his brand, but I really wanted to get my hands in this new brakes. I had direct communication with him and i got a great deal on the very last model , I did my order , and yes, I DID had to wait several weeks until finally I get shipment confirmation ,so between some order delays , and some patience mixed , I have to say Ted always replied , when the brakes arrived I was more than amazed, amazing construction and weight , easy to install and to set! Ultra L8 such an amazing piece of art! i will update about the durability and performance in 6months time. Thanks Ciamillo !

Calipers for Weenies I bought my new Ciamillo lekki L8"s ver recently. A set of Carbon Jewelry for any road bike. They are a sculptured piece of art and almost too precious a brake set. After parting from those precious Ben Franklins and eating out of bins for a while, they leave you in absolutely awe. Those rim stranglers give you as asfixiating enough stopping power as much as sram red or campagnolo record. Well done Ted Ciamillo for the excellent customer service and the help with finding a suitable payment plan. Bless Peter
