On order... I have big hopes on this one to make Juintech brakes work properly on one of my builds

That's quite the jump in price

Why wouldn't the manufacturer have pictures of their own bikes?

Yeah I had this issue, was impossible to get the calipers to align properly as they were kinda twisted at an angle. I could get it so close, but never right. This week I took it in and got the mounts faced (cost $70 cad) and completely fixed it. Then I had the calipers set up and aligned in minutes.
At first I was a touch annoyed at Velobuild for not doing it at the factory. But since I have talked to a bunch of bike mechanics and they basically all said it’s just part of building up a brand new frame - regardless of price.
I think sometimes maybe we assume things aren’t done cause it’s a cheap frame from china. When in reality a lot of  these things and little issues are just industry wide. But when buying a complete bike, someone has already dealt with a resolved them. Obviously that’s just my opinion haha

Do you think an unpainted frame has less chances of getting such problems? Maybe its related to the paint? I'm tempted to change my order to unpainted, if it solves these issues.

I am super excited, I just noticed that my L frame was shipped this afternoon..
but now worried as well. After seeing the BottomBracket issue on the youtube video ( https://youtu.be/-K3F-d4MlBY?t=2074 ) Hope mine arrives with a better-aligned frame.

Frame Size: L
Finish: Matte (Black Matte Paint / Carbon-look was not available)
Integrated bar size: 400/120

• I ordered Sensah Empire 11-speed Aluminium.
• ZRACE BR-005 Cable Actuated Hydraulic Disc Brake (I mistakenly ordered for my alu-gravel bike before I learn the direct-mount vs post-mount difference )
• DT Swiss PR 1600 spline 32 (I was about to order EliteWheels Drive 50 but wanted to give an Alu wheel a try first before such investment..)
• Still thinking about what Crankset to use :
  
  • Shimano 105 with Left-crank power-meter
  • Shimano Ultegra R8100 (Looks beautiful )
  • Magene P325 Power-meter enabled crankset
• Full Carbon Saddle from AliExpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32751879676.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.b76e1802HUpTsz
• Muc-Off CARBON GRIPPER (I read some good reviews)
• Liqui Moly 3802 Screw Lock Medium Strength

I am also thinking about buying Bike Torque Wrench, but not sure which one to buy without breaking the bank.

I think there are many other things to consider. Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

VeloBuild just announced a new CX frame. Tempted to switch over from my newly built GF-002 to the new CX-002 for the more race oriented geometry.
