I've transferred components multiple times to different frames. You'll most likely run into issues, spilt hydraulic fluid and questioning your life decisions. At that point go to bed and start fresh the next morning! The bike building skills you'll develop will rival all but the most old school LBS mechanics. Nowadays, I feel I can tune any bike into perfection. Don't be shy and feel free to ask questions!

I am considering either an ICAN A22 (I love the black color) or an ELVES Avari Pro. The ELVES is UCI approved, unlike the ICAN.

the ican is quite old with recommended 25/28C tyres. That's very much not future proof.
the elves is surprisingly heavy (baby size 990g) and maxes out at 30C.

Have a look at sp cycle SP-R025-SL - you can get it for cheaper than what the website says. SP cycle = Tideace = haidelibicycle.com = disai. So if you email all of them you'll get the best deal.
SP Cycle has several models you may like.
Lightcarbon has a model or 2 you'll like
I really like my long teng 268.
Velobuild is now consistently making nice frames, the 268 is proving very popular.
Given the elves look like an endurance bike, the yishun R1018 may be good for you - super light, monocoque -.

I would never buy an ican nor an elves myself :)

Re. tools, have a look at a few bike builds video on YT. you'll quickly notice what tools you need.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Adapt bikes at Eurobike

Hi Everyone,

You can visit Adapt Bike at Eurobike to check some news :)

Hall 9.1 - B13D - In Frankfurt 3th to 7th of July.

The frames are top quality and they are very service minded.

Do you sell any b2c?

I was waiting for a silver set to be back in stock and have ordered a set of these to test out. Reviews seem positive so lets see!

Super nice, your budget control is impressive. That much bike for 2k eur is remarkable. how much does shipping cost for wheels and frames to Australia, typically? I wouldn't be surprised if you saved 200eur in shipping across all the stuff you ordered (i'm in europe).
Your airtag thing under the bottle cage is screaming airtag thing though ;)

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Velobuild Quality Control
« Last post by bvin on Today at 09:05:54 AM »
I am looking to purchase a Velobuild frame but I am a little concerned about the build quality. Just looking through Videos and posts on here it seems like people can have some pretty big qc issues like bottom bracket alignment and shotty paint jobs. What is the overall consensus on the frames and how much work will I have to do to get one rideable?

Great review. Wow that is one light frame. I really chewed on getting this frame for months. Ticks a lot of boxes but I ended up going in a different direction.

Yeap! I agree this would be the perfect frame for most of us. Chris/VB would just need to improve a bit the quality of the final product even increasing it meant increasing 100US or so.

For the price it's a very good purchase. I just wished he had an option like the SL version but the QA++.

Wow ... 2 frames in one week with a 57/58 with head angle below 73deg (other being Incolor).

How does this effect handling? Both head tube and seat tube angles still confuse me.

Does anybody have a direct contact to ltwoo sales?
I am being ghosted by them(Salesperson Luke, i do not need his contact), because i want a solution regarding quality issues?
Any help appreciated...
If anybody is interested in er9, brand new..i am willing to sell them cheap, germany or europe preferred..

Hi, i have a guy there via wechat. Idk where he works within ltwoo, it's a contact via a friend. He's been largely useless. For my warranty shenanigans, i've been going through the guy who sold me the groups, as per what ltwoo says on their website.
DM me if you have wechat, in which case i can probably share his contact.
My wechat skills are very limited.
