Are you really saying it took less than a month from ordering to arrive in the UK????

I ordered a frame and wheel set from Velobuild on Dec 15th and it arrived at my house in the UK on January 4th. I think it would have been even quicker if it hadn't arrived at the Parcelforce sorting depot on New Years Eve and then sat there for 4 days over the weekend/bank holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick it was, having read various stories of EMS whipping taking up to 3 months!

Question on the integrated handlebar:
I aim for something like 90-100 stem length and 420-440mm bar width.

Problem:
The vbr168 standard integrated bar is curved and additionally enlarges the reach - this I want to avoid. Unfortunately it's also not available in e.g. 420/100.
HB011 would have come in handy at the 420/100 spec, however, Chris told me they discontinue HB011 and only have few non-420/100 left.

So what can I do to realize my dream of an integrated handlebar at 420/100?
An option could be the DengFu HB015 which seems to be identical, but I am not sure about its compatibility?
Any other ideas that are compatible with the vbr168 and are integrated (bar and stem as one mold)?

Maybe you've already noticed this but from the Velobuild geometry drawings, the reach of the curved bars (HB010) is actually 5mm shorter than the HB011 bars. So the only part that will have a longer reach is the bar tops. The break levers and the drop section should have a slightly shorter reach.

I guess it depends which part of the bars are most important to you.
