Velo Build R-099 Build

[FHS]

That's awesome RDY, thanks for putting in all the work and aticking with it. Good of Chris for being so flexible.

[RDY]

Can those who contributed to the mold costs DM me with your first name and initial of your last name, please.  I'll then relay these to Chris.

There was a bit of a SNAFU with the mold cost apparently. It being $800 rather $500.  Rather than trying to raise extra money I suggested that they add $20 extra to the price of the zero offset posts instead.  Chris accepted this, and has also agreed to honor the originally quoted $30 price for the seatposts, or to charge no extra if ordering a frameset with a zero instead of normal seatpost, for those who contributed to the mold costs.  Others who didn't will be charged $50 for just the zero seatpost, or $20 if choosing it in preference to the normal one with a frameset.

Having the name list will ensure that you get your discount.

From what I understood, work on the mold started a week or so ago, and Chris originally said it would take about 20 days to finish. 

Names needed:

@Gigelz 
@Velovelo 
@FHS 
@zaphodbeeblebrox
@BiciDomingo

Got PMs from everybody except @velovelo - if you could respond when you see this. Thanks

PM sent. Sorry for the delay and thanks again for arranging.

[RDY]

Names all sent to Chris.  Thanks everyone.  Also initiating my 099 order finally.

Going to go for a 58, with 80mm stem and no handlebar, obviously with a zero offset post. 

Paint wise I'll go for a Blue Chameleon into Black fade with Neon Pink Splatter on the Black and fade areas.

On that note, has anybody ordered a frame with splatter from them? I don't recall seeing one. 

[BiciDomingo]

Sounds good with the neon pink. I am sure the splatters will pop out nice! Looking forward to see the result.

Hi guys. I am new on this forum and really enjoy it.  Recieved my R-099's last month. Building up a size 52 for my girl right now. Really happy with the size 54 I am riding. I am definetly willing to pay $50 for the zero offset mould.

Do you have any pics of the 52 finished? And maybe next to the 54? I'm debating between the two sizes and you have both!

I don't own two bike stands so its hard to make pictures that show the difference. If you have an sugestion please tell. If you can DM your email. I can sent you some nog so good pictures.

Hi guys. Any news from Chris yet?

[RDY]

After initially saying that it'd take a couple of weeks, he told me a couple of weeks ago (after starting a couple of weeks earlier), that it would take another 30 days. 

[RDY]

Zero setback post.  Shortly to be shipped out with my frame.

[Velovelo]

Yes!!!
Thanks for the update

Awesome! This makes the 099 super enticing

[StiffWeenies]

I just realized that the VB-R-099, WCB-R-268 and LTK268 are same thing

However, only Workswell and Longteng seem to offer the DM rim brake version of the frame

Is there any indication that Velobuild would do the same?

[Irideslowly]

Why not order it from them instead?

[StiffWeenies]

Why not order it from them instead?

Velobuild quotes the lowest price IIRC
