Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Velobuild Advice
« on: May 26, 2024, 03:09:53 PM »
Hi everyone,

I'm considering the VB-R-168, VB-R-177, and VB-R-066 bike frames and ride about 15,000 km per year. I'd love some advice on these models.

How do they compare in terms of rigidity, comfort, and weight? Have you experienced any defects or issues with these frames? How easy were they to assemble?

Which frame would you recommend for durability and longevity?

I'd also appreciate any customer feedback or reviews from those who have used these frames.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Alfio

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Transferring Components from a Damaged Giant Defy 1 to a New Frame
« on: May 22, 2024, 04:23:21 AM »
Hi everyone,

Nice to meet you, this is my first post after reading many on this forum. I'm seeking advice from more experienced members regarding my situation. I have a 2018 Giant Defy 1 with a damaged frame that cannot be repaired. I'm considering removing all the components and transferring them to a new frame.

Currently, my bike is equipped with a Shimano 105 R7000 groupset with hydraulic brakes and Fulcrum wheels. Do you think it's feasible to transfer all the components to a new frame? Has anyone had similar experiences?

I am considering either an ICAN A22 (I love the black color) or an ELVES Avari Pro. The ELVES is UCI approved, unlike the ICAN.

Thank you for all your help. :D
