the inside looks pretty decently done! is that 3k twill or 12k? that doesnt look like uni at the head tube.

Velobuild is great (or so i read) but how do they send the wrong bearing size?

website says both top and bottom are 1 1/2.

hope they cover the cost to ship those bearings and such. id be unhappy but not pissed.
it also does look very nice. looks pretty shiny too! i notice with a lot of open molds sometimes you dont get a shiny finish that youd see on expensive frames, this looks like a 7/10 while my dengfu was like a 4/10 for shininess. yoeleo would be like a 8-9/10 and a 10/10 would be like a factor one for example.

when you can, can you send a flex test of the handlebar, oz cycles did one with his yoeleo bars where he put his legs on the sides of the front wheel and rocked/flexed the handlebar in the drops.

kinda wish i was in the market for a new frame because the 168 and 177 i cant take my eyes off.

these look like the bearings, just google tarmac sl7 headset size and do a bit of digging.

I am trying to find out how to secure the seatpost. Is there a clamp or something that keeps it from sliding down?

Here is my VBR 168 I am finally building. It is a dark metallic red but the pictures do not do it justice due to a lack of light. I will take more pictures in the daylight outside to show it off when I am done.

I went with a size 56 which is down a size so hopefully it fits. I am on the line between 56/58.

Yes show me a picture - this is the only thing I seem to be missing.

Where did you buy your SL7 seatpost cover? Thanks in advance

Btw did you weight the frame and fork?
