I have 28mm tyres on mine and there's loads of room to spare. The spec sheet says 32mm will fit and it does look like that to me.

Looks really great! Congratulations!
How is it holding up so far?
I am considering to get this frame.
How is the seatpost? Does it slide down out of position when riding?
Also how is the stiffness of the button bracket area?
Thanks for any response you can give.

The bike has been great so far!
Haven't done many rides...maybe 10 x 40 miles, but it's very comfy (28mm tubeless tyres help with that).
The seatpost hasn't slipped at all. The good thing is that it's a standard round seatpost, so can be replaced if you wanted to. You could save a little bit of weight.
As far as the bottom bracket stiffness goes - I'm not really qualified to say! I've only been riding since Covid and the only other bike I've ridden is a 2012 Giant Defy, so I haven't got much to compare to. Plus I wouldn't say that i am the most powerful rider and i've never tried sprinting or trying to dance on the pedals going up hill.
I love it, and it always gets questions from other riders when out and about so it looks great too.

Hi, very nice bike.
I've put another 80 miles into mine and I think it's great. No problems whatsoever.
Where do you get the silicone seat post ring from?
Thanks

I love the brown on black. I'm leaning to a VB-R-066, but I haven't ruled out the 177. I've got some questions for you!

Did you consider the 066? Was there somethig about the 177's geometry that sold you?
Is the bar/stem carbon?
What bottom bracket did you use?
What press tool did you use?
Can you describe how routing the rear brake line went?
Do you think hydraulic lines would be any harder to route than the Juin's mechanical housings?
Do you think that the lines would be easier to route if there were no deraileur cables to route?

Sorry to pepper you with a bunch of questions with my first Chinertown post.

Hi, i love the brown on black too! The saddle and bar tape are both Prologo so i was hoping they would be the same shade of brown, but the saddle is a lot darker.
I didn't consider the VB-R-066 as i wanted the clean, integrated bar with full internal cable routing. Nothing specific geometry wise to be honest.
The bar and stem is carbon - looks great
I got a ZTTO BB86 24mm ceramic bottom bracket from Aliexpress. It threads in the middle.
The press tool was also from aliexpress - MUQZI Bicycle Bottom Bracket Install and Removal Tool. It has cups for all sorts of BBs
The routing of all of the cables through the frame was very easy, even with the BB installed. The difficult bit was then threading through the integrated bar. There was no cable guides installed in anything.
I had 3 attempts to get the handlebar installed on the fork - the first two i got the outer cables crossed over inside the head tube and when tightened down, it was impossible to thread through the inner cables so i had to reroute the cables through the handlebar so that they were in the correct order from headtube into handlebar.
I would assume that hydraulic brake lines would be exactly the same process and difficulty as the mechanical brake housing. Just keep the brake lines in the correct order when installing handlebar on to fork. Inside the frame is easy. I would have gone for hydraulic brakes but the price for shifters + calipers was crazy!
If you were to not use derailleur cables (electronic shifting), then the cabling will be easier through the handlebars.

Finally finished my build. Very happy with the result!
First of all, everything from velobuild was excellent. There was only one slight problem with one of the holes for the front brake caliper - it was too short, so I had to use a shorter screw.
The internal cable routing was "interesting". Had three attempts but the cables were crossing over inside the head tube and were seizing up.
Got it in the end though.
Wasn't doing a weight weenie build at all, but the final bike as pictured is 7.5kg so 7.2kg without pedals. Happy with that!
It's one by, with a 42t SRAM chainring on a 105 crankset (wanted to keep this as I have an xcadey power meter). The rear derailleur is SRAM rival medium cage. Cassette is sroad 10-36. Brakes are juin tech F1 with SRAM rotors. Tyres are Goodyear F1 tubeless 28mm. There's loads of space there so looks like you'd get 32mm in with no problems. Shifters are SRAM force 11.
Wheels are from elite on AliExpress. 47mm deep.
Went for brown on black with the saddle, bar tape and tyres.

Sorry to grave dig. Any update on the frame especially weight?

This has been a long, drawn out process!
Finally today, the status of my order is shipped from Velobuild after placing the order at the end of March!
I have been emailing Chris regularly and in fairness he always replies very quickly. Each update the shipping date went out by a few weeks.
As this is a new frame, sounds like the large size was tested and moulded out first with other sizes following which has lead to a delay.

Just have to wait to see how long shipping to UK is now...I've had all the bits for the build (apart from chain and carbon paste) for months.

Hi all, after lurking on here for ages and doing my own research, I've pulled the trigger and order a Velobuild VB-R-177.
The geometry is almost exactly the same as a Scott Addict as far as i can tell.
No word on when shipping will be yet - this is a new design so the frame is in testing, but that was due to finish at the end of March.

I also ordered some 47mm wheel from Elite Wheels on Aliexpress. Production time for these is 13-20 working days, and shipping is 25-50 working days so i don't expect to see these very soon.
Also going one by as I hate front derailleurs! 42T Sram chainring with a 10-36 11speed cassette from Aliexpress.

Let's see how I get on!

Seen a few video on YouTube, Seem to have really nice paintjobs , seem to be very popular in the Philippines and Malaysia, Anybody built up a frame from them?

Hi, I've seen these and am interested also. Looks like a good quality, lightweight frame! Plus it's not an open mold as far as I can tell.
The top tube is tiny so you'd be in a low, fast, aero position on this bike.
