I think you could keep riding it until the replacement arrives.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame The bird has (crash) landed  ;D
Amazingly it looks to be unscathed. Only a slight paint notch at the seatpost hole.

Paint is Cameleon blue with a matt finish. From other angles its dark purple - I'll add more pictures later.

Order date: 17-05-2021
Arrival date (in Denmark): 19-08-2021

Will be building it up this weekend.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame It must have been some very heavy turbulence at least  ;D

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Finally finished my build, and of course it a rainy day  ;D

After a couple of rides I'll give some impressions and specs, with some better pictures.

Soo beautiful!!
I'm looking forward to receive mine :)
How tall are you and what's the size of the bike? It looks how you have a huge drop between saddle and bar

Thank you! :)

This is a size 58. Handlebar is a 420/110.

I'm 191cm with longer limbs and shorter torso. Drop is quite deep and it has taken some years of cycling to achieve it but its also helped by my longer arms.

I ordered 56 with 420/100 handlebar, I am 183cm with 88.5cm inseam, hope it's gonna fit well

58 would almost certainly have been to long.

Reach is almost non-adjustable. You can slide you seat back a forth a bit but its the wrong way of doing it. The only real solution is a new handlebar. 

Stack is more flexible with spacers. You can start high and remove a few over time if you feel more confident.

Im pretty sure 56 was the right choice.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Lovely bike! Congrats.  8)

Just wanted to let you know that imgur has a resize feature for the pictures. Makes it much easier to present them as the forum doesnt resize automatically.

You aren’t kidding!  I saw that saddle height and thought maybe it was a smaller frame.
But at 191 with
With a 58 frame, that’s an insanely high saddle height! Even at 191cm

Have you had the first ride yet?

I have had my first few rides - but you'll have to wait for the review a little bit longer  ;)

The saddle height is 86,5cm center bb to the top of the saddle. This is with 170mm cranks.
I think it looks like a lot because the seattube is short which seems to be quite common on this type of bike. You have to consider that the stack is already quite low for the size so a sloping top tube will for sure leave a lot of seatpost exposed. This is the same for the Tarmac SL7 and it is done this way to maximize the exposed 'aero' seatpost to make it a bit more comfortable (sneak peak - I can confirm it does help!).

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame The 168 will not clear 35c comfortably. I'll probably rotate but it will be very limited in clearance. The fork is the main limiting factor

33-34c is max.

Here shown with 32c WAM all-road tires




Consider the CFR-1056 as it weighs about the same, has external cable routing, and will importantly clear a 35c tire comfortably.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame The paint is the 'blue chameleon' with a matte finish  :D Glad you like it.
