Hi Everybody
I´m kinda looking to build a aero road bike with integrated cabling and 60´ish mm deep disc wheels.
Being tall, I find many of the Chiners too small for my liking. I’m all “legs” so seattube length is always an issue.
Currently looking at Velobuild VBR-99 – but is it big enough……I just don´t know..
Are there any tall riders out there with experience on chiner aero frame ??
Happy riding to all

Schumo, that looks really really nice....how did I miss that!!

I'm super happy with mine.
Don't let the bad review on the website scare you.
I talked before buying mine to 2 other owners and they couldn't confirm the issues stated in the review.
Only Point 6 I can partly confirm, the mount is indeed a bit rotated, but it works without problems.
I just need to take some pictures sometimes and will set up a build thread then.

Thanks schumo - and yes, it´s not the best review on their website :o
This aero bike will be my third chiner, and there is always something when you build these bikes. Never the less, I´m super happy with my other bikes - they are perfect.

I would say I know my preferenced geometry. I'm 1,88m tall and I would take the velobuild vbr 099 in size 56. So I think 58 would be right for you. Take a long stem and put some spacers under the stem.
It's possible to make a small bike bigger but it's not possible to make a big bike smaller

if youre still interested, i bought the r12 too. im 6'7 so i feel your pain. dengfu is the only retailer i can find that makes 61's. the next highest was either winspace, yoeleo, or ican, who made it in 59 (MAYBE 60 depending on the frame, i forget, def not 61). i fit in a 61 but im all upper body, my inseams equal to like a 6'1 guy. so youd probably fit nicely in a 59. for my next build (if i sell my current fm098) i might get an ican a9 in 59 and hope i can squeeze my ass in it.
