VeloBuild VB-TT-023

[mattgolt]

Finally finished my VB-TT build. Only ridden on Turbo so far so no idea on road feel / secureness of contact points (particularly concerned about Bars / Seatpost slipping on bumpy terrain)

Components:

SRAM Force Rear Mech
2 pairs of SRAM AXS Wireles Blips
76 Projects Blip Holders
RideRever Trivia TT Brakes
Stock Basebar and Vision TFE Clone Bars
Pass Quest 56t Single Chainring
Dura Ace R9200 167.5 mm Crankset
KMC 12 Speed Chain
Praxis T47 Integrated Bottom Bracket (Shimano)
Shimano 105 R7100 11-34t Cassette
ISM PN3.1 Saddle
*I do have a SRAM Red eTap AXS Front Mech and Pass Quest 56/42t Double Chainring for a 2x setup
Tri Spoke and Disc to be obtained in due course.

Cost: £1,921.54 (not including labor to build or 2x Chainset setup)

Love it! Didn't know you could mix and match Shimano and sram like that, but apparently you never stop learning!

I'm due to receive my frame soon aswell and plan to go for a 1x setup as well (living in pancake flat northern Germany..). So I'm wondering what offset did you chose on there passquest chainring? Did you spend lots of time to optimize the chain line?

Honestly, I wasn't too sure how mix and matching would work either but seems to be ok so far. Also, for chain ring offset I am not too sure about it, its just a standard DA 9200 compatible 12s chainring (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006163501452.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.54.727b1802JhYbj7).

I asked Velobuild what max Chainring size (60t IIRC) and chose accordingly for the racing I will be doing next season. I've raced on 56t and 58t 1x and also 56/44t 2x on my last bike so knew both worked well for me. I also just bought what was cheap and 11-34t was the cheapest cassette I found. I will swap this out down the line for an AliExpress Ultralight cassette for my A race where Weight will be a factor.

I all, I am considering buying the VB tt 023 as well. I am 190 with 87 cm inseam so kind of "short legs". I am really in doubt if it would fit me and would therefore love to hear if someone was able to give any advice on fit? Furthermore is any one aware if it is possible to mount a BTA system?

I see that the Geometry of the Velobuild TT-023 are similar to those of Trek Speed Concept. You can check which size fits you with Trek and then buy a similar size in TT-023

I am 187cm and also have shorter legs respective to my torso and on the L frame (previously rode an XL Trek SC). Can feel somewhat 'small' when out saddle and riding but thats not a biggie at all. Unless you can ride a super slammed position, ask for at least 1 more set of the 5-10-20mm spacers.

Did you go for it? I am 186cm with 91cm legs and I fear the L is too small because of my inseam. I still think this frame is the best option out there if it fits.

I am new to building bikes, and I am looking for a BB for the VB TT 023. The measurements on the website says 86.5. I am doing a sram build and can only find a 85.5mm T47 Sram dub BB. Can I go with that?

Thank you!

Yes, think I might receive it in the coming week - will update

the VB frame is out for me. VB doesn't even answer messages.
New one in the mix is the Elves Falath. It's an aero bike. But they have a nice TT setup. But need to dig deeper...

if you are considering a tri-mod falath, take note of sebastan kienle tri-mod scott foil (ttx38)

Can you elaborate on that, I'm very interested?

this was Kienle's custom mod Foil for the Norseman Tri.
tt-x38 have similar geo to Foil.
granted that his foil had custom seat post, but at least x38 seatpost isnt setback like on Falath

talked to elves. yolu can turn the seatpost by 180 degree. that should give you some flexibility
