HKTed Ciamillo is a FRAUD Ted Ciamillo is a FRAUD! He reached out to us and offered discounts for 10 units of Custom Ciamillo B1 for Brompton brake for $510 each instead of the original price of $850 each. We wired a total of US$5,100 in Nov 2022 and contacted him numerous times. We got the same response, order will be out this week. We got NOTHING! BE AWARE! DO NOT DEAL ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY!

GBCalipers 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

GBTitanium G23 Was using my bike with the new titanium G23 brakes coming down a long hill with a tailwind: I was flying. There is a 90 degree turn at the bottom. A mountain biker was came around the corner and was totally in the middle of the road not paying attention to anything so I had to reach for my brakes very hard. I was able to confidently stop in time and avoid a major collision. MTB guy said "Sorry dude." So not only are the brakes light as all get out but can pull down from speed quickly. I've also have the L8 and L8 Ultras which are lighter still. With each new design I have seen subtle improvements, exceptional light weight, and darn good braking.

GBNever received my item, still haven't received a full refund. I purchased a product from Ted Ciamillo directly, and was promised a 3 week lead time on it. That date came and went and I repeatedly got new ETAs for my order. Finally I asked for a refund since it became apparent my item was never actually going to get built. I was then told he would mail a check for my refund, which I never got. I was then told he never mailed the check but would refund me via Zelle, which once again he has promised several dates that have come and gone. I cannot stress this enough, do not buy anything from this company unless you can use a credit card and have purchase protection. You may never get your product or your money back. Update to say that I received a partial refund, however Ted has once again missed his promises date for the rest of the refund.

GBExceptional customer service I purchased a set of L8 Ultra calipers in the summer of 2022, and unfortunately the front caliper was damaged in a race crash in September of that year. I contacted Ted to inquire about a replacement, and was blown away by his offer to replace the caliper free of charge! There were some delays in receiving the replacement, but Ted is an artisan who also relies on other providers for components. Ted is a great guy, and very easy to communicate with - all you have to do is give him a ring, and he is almost always sure to answer. I highly recommend Ted to anyone looking for a lightweight, made in the USA, high performance brake caliper!
