Polling the crowd here. If you were asked What does the VB-CX002 resembles the most? What would you say? Picture courtesy of their website. (https://ueeshop.ly200-cdn.com/u_file/UPAB/UPAB004/2302/photo/77bb40af58.jpg)

Welcome to the forum. That photo was taken by me since it's my bike...
There is dedicated thread for the CX-002 frameset. A little bit of effort to search beforehand goes a long way.

Resembles an afterthought to me.
Looks like they're trying to make something from the spare parts bin. Tubing from the generic open mold aero frame (e.g. LCRXS-D) with a few little geometry adjustments and a bit extra tyre clearance and call it a CX bike. Unfortunately they've missed the mark by a country mile with the super steep headtube angle and that seatpost looks way too stiff for anything but smooth tarmac.
Apart from racing, I never really understood why anyone would choose a cx bike over a gravel bike, but this wouldn't cut it as a cx bike in my eyes. Not even close.
All that almost makes me overlook whoever assembled it was too lazy to cut the steerer tube down. Almost.

And I thank you for that photo. BTW I discovered your vlog after I posted the question, thank you for making that. I’ll head over to that corner of the forum, as I am seeing this one is already getting toxic for my taste. Was not my intention in the least.
