Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild VB-R-218

Look who arrived on Friday. First look of the frame is good, the paint job is superb for 50€. I can confirm they still haven't fixed the issue with the bolt in the bottom bracket, but since I knew that was coming it was a job of a few minutes with a dremel.

Bottom bracket is aligned well, so I have just kicked off the orders for the other components. Now back to waiting untill they arrive.

Total delivery time was longer than expected though. Ordered 29th of Jan. Shipment on 25th of Feb. Delivery in Germany on 10th of March.

Hi guys,

The Chrisses have been postponing my shipment over and over again. Originally it should've been sent out mid February. Is this normal?

The carbon repair guy said the fame was very well made overall, apart from the bb issue, which was probably caused by the other bike shop over torquing the cup past 35nm

This sounds very plausible to me. A new youtube video from Jourdain Coleman just popped into my feed today, with a very similar topic starting at 02:15:

Hello everyone,

first post here! Just been lurking for the past few weeks, so thanks everyone for all the pictures and experience that helped me decide. I've pulled the trigger on a XL Disc version of the 218 today. Hopefully it'll turn up fine without the unlucky experiences some of you had.

Planning an SRAM Force Etap build, but I'll hold off from ordering other components until I see the frame.

Did anyone run into trouble with taxing it when importing to EU (Germany)?
