Polling the crowd here. If you were asked What does the VB-CX002 resembles the most? What would you say? Picture courtesy of their website.

Welcome to the forum. That photo was taken by me since it's my bike...

There is dedicated thread for the CX-002 frameset. A little bit of effort to search beforehand goes a long way.

Resembles an afterthought to me.

Looks like they're trying to make something from the spare parts bin. Tubing from the generic open mold aero frame (e.g. LCRXS-D) with a few little geometry adjustments and a bit extra tyre clearance and call it a CX bike. Unfortunately they've missed the mark by a country mile with the super steep headtube angle and that seatpost looks way too stiff for anything but smooth tarmac.

Apart from racing, I never really understood why anyone would choose a cx bike over a gravel bike, but this wouldn't cut it as a cx bike in my eyes. Not even close.

All that almost makes me overlook whoever assembled it was too lazy to cut the steerer tube down. Almost.

It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike.

And I thank you for that photo. BTW I discovered your vlog after I posted the question, thank you for making that. I’ll head over to that corner of the forum, as I am seeing this one is already getting toxic for my taste. Was not my intention in the least.
