Thnx Pat! Not a great fan of the color, but really looking forward to your build, especially regarding the routing of the cables around the headtube/fork.

Aliexpress is having anniversary sale.

I just placed an order for 423eur shipped :)

How do you get this price, and which wheel would you choose for a roadbike (50mm would be my choice, but 60/50 rear/front seems nice as well).

That looks to be a gravelframe (top tube screwholes and graveltires)

Just ordered this frame to do a build for my girlfriend.

Velobuild 268 (in glossy pearl white, because of the incredible pictures shared earlier)
Complete Shimano 105 mechanical 12 speed groupset
Elitewheels ENT disc 38mm x 28mm wheels
GP5000 28mm
TPU inner tubes

Quick question: only part lacking is finding a saddle. Any (scientific / structured) approach on finding one for her?

I'd love to see some (or: a lot) pictures of that frame/color. Thinking about the same color :) Allready sourced a Ultegra 11sp di2 groupset 2nd hand. Would make a killer bike I think (this or the Ican A40) :)

I have a 268 frameset coming my way next week, once paint is completed. The color is sick!
Looking forward to seeing what VB has been up to lately.

SRAM Force eTap 1x
Nepest Maui 45 Wheels (1282g)
Prime Bike Carbon Aero Bars
Bucklos 3D Printed Saddle

That’s the plan at least…

Really looking forward to your review/opinions/paintjob.

Also, haven't heard of those wheels. Wondering whether they are worth € 500,00 over Elite Edge wheels in 50mm (just a small weight penalty, but a lot of extra money).
Same goes for the sadles, which seems heavier than the Ryet one. Any reason to go this route other than "because I can" (which is a good answer as well :) )

Good to see these nice builds coming along, and to hear that it rides well! Can't wait to try it, although in Sweden that might need some more months...

My build is coming along too - Yesterday I routed the cables and installed the headset.

While routing, I kinked one of the brake hoses close to the stem area and now I'm wondering if I should replace the whole hose. I was also smart enough to cut the front derrailleur cable too short (when steering all the way to the right, the cable got constricted by the BB..) so I will have to replace that one either way... I am planning to actually drill out the the FD cable stop hole you drilled out for Di2, but want to run the shifter hose all the way to the derailleur. Good idea?

Well, its a first build and overall it's going well ;)

Really nice color. What do you call this (parlemour white or something)?

I'm 178cm tall. Normal to short legs. What frame size do you recon?

I’ve seen a few posts in the past asking about Lexon frames, I’ve been riding one for over a year now.

Overall the quality has been good, no issues with frame. If i was picky id say the frame has a bit of flex at the BB area.

I built it up with Ltwoo road and have had no issues, i had a minor issue with the shifting (had an Ali cassette) my mechanic changed it to a sram and the thing now shifts flawless.

Super happy with it.



The frame look really nice without the toptube-bag/bento. But the 'dent' in the frame isnt particulary good look when adding a bag/bento I think. Still an option for me. What did you pay?

Just got another update on the 60/75 combo. All done. Shipping today.

Was hoping for slightly darker grey logos since I'm not huge on big bling, but these will look spinning!

They do look really cool!

If you're happy with them, I'll keep them in mind for my next purchase!

I don't think your rant qualifies as long.....

That being said, thanks for posting mate. Loving you reply's both here and on Insta :)

I'd really like this bike. Unfortunatly, Kitty told me they do not sell to private customers in NL anymore... :(

::) I Google that for you 

https://icancarbon.com/product/carbon-road-disc-brake-racing-bike-a40/


I am 1,83 cm and I choose size 55.

I'm considering this bike since i scored a cheap di2 discbrake groupset (11sp). I'm 178cm tall and usually ride a size 54 frame. What do you recon. I think 55 would be too big and should opt for a 52 and longer stem/combo.

Speed release axles are double threaded. It will be difficult to find third party axle

I guess it's smart to order an extra pair with the frame then.

I'm considering going for this one over the 177 (or maybe the Ican A40, which is a beauty but more expensive). I asked about stock and they have some.

Getting two frames, sharing shipping costs, is tempting :)

Should I get wheels as well, or is it better to buy them at Elite (looking for 50mm, affordable, lighish (145-/1500gr) wheels).

What do you guys think about the weight. Looks pretty good to me. Would a cheapish bike around 7,5kilo possible (with 50mm Elite Wheels and Ultegra Di2)?

Anybody had contact about a when to order/deliver?

Cool looking frame, in any event. Anyone know who makes the handsling?

I think they really do their own frame (at least, it's not open mould). I would love to test their upcomming TT/TRI-frame:
