I have ordered 3 pairs of wheels (two different vendors) and one frame from another manufacturer (TFSA). Every package has arrived without trouble and packed extremely well. Although I don't aim to buy the absolute cheapest out there.
500 bucks including shipping are incredible tbf

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Any idea of what model this frame resemble?

Any idea what frame this is supposed to resemble? Reminds me of the Venge but with a few tweaks.

Looks SICK IMHO! One of the best-looking shapes at the moment and not too heavy either... Flat top tube, lowered seat stays, aero headtube and fork with a cut-out frame for the front wheel makes for a gorgeous-looking frame!!
only short URL works.. sorry www.shorturl.at/fnX67

Use the spez SL7 chart

and 181 is 9/10 always a large frame, 55/56 depending on brand

If you are a pro you can ride a size medium 54 with a 130mm stem

What are these new regulations they could take advantage of?

https://cyclingtips.com/2020/10/new-uci-tech-rules-leaked-is-bike-design-about-to-get-a-shake-up/

Which is why we now see frames with very deep headtube and big wide boxy form factor around the bottom bracket. Deep headtube is probably one of the greatest improvements.

IMHO Winspace should had added slightly more aero segments on the frame like they have done on the Specialized Venge, BH aerolight and Orbea Orca. Okay, not a full aero bike but it looks more like a Supersix than a Systemsix (aero)

I manage to contact the adapt salesperson. She informed that AT-B01 is not to be sold direct to consumer.
However, she offers FM49-DB which has the same geometry as MMR Adrenaline Aero. It's nice-looking frame.

That is a seriously good looking frame, wow!

Is it a copy of the S-works Venge 2020? Looks amazing! But I guess it is very heavy...

That frame with a Venge aero headtube and round seatpost would be something... in hi-mod carbon
Doesn't look like they took advantage of the new UCI regulations at all  ::)

I don't think there really is such a thing as 'forged carbon'.  It's most likely just normal carbon reinforced thermoplastic with a silly name.

Even more if they come with a Ti spindle !
However carbon is not very good at receiving hits, and my pedals by their look seem to get quite a few.

Dura ace is forged carbon and never one seen be in a thousand pieces  ::) What kind of riding do you do smashing your pedals on a road bike  :o

Wow this is something I haven't seen before, very excited to hear more after you have had the chance to test further.

I just picked up mint condition PD-R9000 pedals for $80 bucks at 240 gram which I felt was a really good deal. But next on my list is a set of Favero Assioma Duo as I need a power meter to match my new THM Clavicula SE crankset

Anyone tried to fit "The One Pro" Handlebar to the 168?

I don't think that would be an issue at all looking at how easy it is to fit any headset to the Velobuild

I would recommend to buy directly from the manufacturer instead of all the resellers on Aliexpres.... I bought one and it feels pretty decent. TOP NOTCH finish, looks like any $3-400 handlebar
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/T1000-Carbon-Bike-Handlebar-Fully-Internal_1600457733782.html?spm=a2756.order-detail-ta-bn-b.0.0.3acc2fc2w9Nt1I

Note* that a 400 bar measures 400mm C-C drop to drop and actually is 385mm C-C hood to hood.

Weight is 350g for a 400x100mm bar, 337g without screws and the heavy clamping plate (cast iron or something)

Stripping the thin layer of paint saves you 5 gram.

Well I been hearing from multiple sources that frame sizes are becoming over sized. And you can no longer believe the "size" and you actually have to look at the geometry and actually numbers

Uhm if the frames are identical to Specialized SL7 geometry, then just go by Specialized geo chart and decide. Thats what I did, I knew I needed a 54cm frame and that is what I ordered.

I'm currently in communication with Miracle-Cycling (Jenny), the response time and the answers are very detailed, I don't know what happened once I've transferred money.

Did you also have to pay the Paypal fee?

Yes Paypal fee is standard I believe. Could it be 4.15% or something like that? Quite expensive but the frames are so cheap it really doesn't matter. Getting a frame door to door under $1000 USD is really cheap compared to ordering from European retailers.

I would like to refresh this entry, is it really true that Miracle-Cycling produces the frames for Yoeleo and that Yoeleo only paints and sells them?

Has anyone already ordered from Miracle-Cycling and how was the experience with the frameset?

I tried to order early 2020 before the pandemic, I paid with paypal and expected delivery. They answered emails very bad, but at least I received a reply. After I had paid they disappeared and 3 months without a frame I had to use Paypal resolution center to receive a refund...

But they are probably not any worse than any other chinese company. Very much hit and/or miss with everything.

Also, a carbon fork cannot be bent or crushed in shipping

A carbon fork either flex a little and goes back to original position

or breaks in half. I cannot be bent like alloy.

That axle is correct, its just his fork thats fked up! How Chris from Velobuild cannot admit fault is beyond my understanding, if he cannot see anything wrong then he is not suited to work in that position.
