Re: Velobuild VB-R-218
Yep. That's mine. First off thanks to all the regular posters on this forum for all the knowledge they share! I was considering a 177 back in April, but when they introduced the 218, I decided to give that a shot instead. I ordered the XL frame on 4-18-22, they shipped on 5/6 and I got the frame on 5/12. I was pretty pleased with that speed. I went with matte black, which maybe helped getting it a little quicker. Wheels are elite SLT 50mm deep 29mm wide and the groupset is Sensa Empire. No issues with the frame, other than the challenges of getting the cables through the integrated bars. Being my first build, I didn't think it was too bad. I've only had time to get about 30 miles in so far, but no problem to report yet. I did put a little tape on my seat post, so I can check to make sure it's not slipping over time, as that's been an issue on other velobuild frames. My other bike is an aluminum endurance frame, so this should be a lot lighter and quicker. The bathroom scale has the 218at just under 19.5 lbs, my endurance bike is 25 lbs.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Sorry if this question is answered somewhere in the thead but do anyone have the real weights of frame, fork, seatpost and handlebar? Here you go: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JRhus6SxSn-_OqfEiuNH-_bxQrsS67ouus0gICANTKk/edit#gid=704196738 Whilst I'm at it, I've clocked 2,000km's on mine in 4 months and it's been great. Not a single issue with the build process or on any of the rides I've had on it. Maybe I'm lucky and got a good frame, or maybe some people are unlucky and get a 'bad one', however in my case I'd highly recommend it! June 25, 2022, 01:59:16 PM |
