Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame
Thanks for the post. Looks great! Even considering this color now over pearl white (with black custom decals). I think I need a 54 frame as well. Could you let me know how tall your friend is (i know, not the only relevant metric). Thanks for your comment. The chameleon pops quite a bit in the sun, just so you are aware. The other one in blue chameleon does as well, probably a bit more disco vibe than expected, but you only live once  My friend is 180 cm, long torso. Stack of the frame is pretty aggressive as you can see by the number of spacers he needed to get a comfortable position. I have bought af 56 cm for myself (187 cm). The wheel set weighs 1420g without rim tape, tolerances seems very nice, end caps are a really good snug fit. The standard ones are fairly wide compared to others, 21 internal and 28 internal, so would not be a bad choice as well, and you can get them a bit deeper than the 45 mm's also. The build proces was not that hard, but probably way worse if you are to route mechanical gear. Cut the steerer 6 mm below the stem. Did all wiring without a routing tool and didn't really need it. The handlebar is the standard one, yes. 400/100 mm, but the reach seems a bit longer as the hood-position extends a bit further from where the stem "ends". cheers June 04, 2024, 09:26:57 AM |

Re: SPCycle (R065 T1000) Aero
So in case, somebody else is thinking about this frame. Right now it's $640, when buying on AE via Seller's shipping method so that no additional fees, customs, taxes etc. should apply. Regular pricing on the website is $720. All said for chameleon paint and a frame with handlebars. Anybody else interested in buying the R065, yet? Any known issues with SP-Cycle or the frame in particular so far? Any thoughts before buying this over VB268 or LC 017? June 06, 2024, 01:17:38 AM |

Re: Any idea of Serenadebikes carbon wheelset?
Are you a factory or a reseller? We are a dealer, there is no need to hide this, but we have invested in many molds. A lot of spot investment was made. We also provide customized services, Control quality, fast shipping, and Local after-sales service. June 21, 2024, 06:22:37 AM |
