You have two options of integrated handlebar/stem for this frame, one is 6 degree and other is 17 degree:

And also the separated stem option, is 6 degree (as Chris told me):

You will definitely tell us the weight, the aero handlebar is very, very light

Sure! . This aero handlebar is very nice, problem for me is the -17 degree

Hey All!

New member and first post in this forum. I've done my best to research this entire thread prior. Thanks for all the details.
Has anyone built up a 168 frame using the "2021 Handlebar With Separate Stem" combo instead of the supplied integrated handlebars?

The integrated handlebar options don't work me, as I need longer stem and narrow width bars (120mm / 40mm). Just wondering if internal cable routing will still work.

I plan to order a size 56 frame. For reference I am 6 feet tall (183cm). Long legs/arms, short torso. Wingspan is 6'3" (190cm)
Currently I own an Allez Sprint size 56 running a 130mm -17 stem  8)

Thanks in advance!
I ordered with separated handlebar-stem option, but I’m waiting delivery

I was also doubting between 56 and 58, but at the end I decided go with 58 because I think that the seatpost (496) and the stack (556) of the 56 size is too low for me ☹️

Hello all,

Chris told me yesterday that my frame is finished, but we have to wait for the stem, I hope he can ship all on monday.
This is mine: http://www.velobuild.com/products/vb-r-168-light-weight-carbon-road-bike-frame-pearl-white-glossy

Can't wait for it :( ... hope the shipping will be fast.

At the end, I ordered vb-r-168 58cm white pearl, with handlebar and separated stem (110/440)
Chris told me that weight is 120g stem and 240g handlebar. And the stem is 6 degree. Will see how works.
He told me is going to be ok for send next wednesday... fingers crossed :)

Hey guys, first post. Looking for a size recommendation with this frame before I order. I am 5'8" on a 54 Cannondale Supersix Evo right now, with 100mm stem, 0 offset seatpost.
VBR-168 has a 4mm longer reach, but effective top tube is 4mm shorter. Good there.  However VBR-168 has that 20mm offset seatpost, so that will throw things off. Contemplating ordering a 52, but not sure how the much lower stack height on the 52 will come into play.  Appreciate the advice!

Geo Comparison:

In my opinion, your size is 54

Are you all using integrated handlebar of velobuild?
I ordered without handlebar because I prefer to use stem+handlebar… I’m 85kg and I think is a more rigid option.
My idea is use or FSA SMR stem with ACR system or Deda Superbox stem.

Hi,

    On the page of velobuild,  the spec for VB-R-168 Frame show a bttom bracket  :  BB86

I want to build with the ultegra groupset, that comes with the BBR60.

the question is : is it the same thing : BBR60 and BB86 ????
If not what bottom brakcet I have to buy to fit the Shimano Ultegra R8000 Chainset - 11 Speed ?


note: why bottom bracket so complex for no reasons !?


Thanks

Yo can use the Shomano SM-BB7241 bottom bracket for the R8000 in BB86

That’s one month from order to habe it at home. Good!
Would be great. Will see in my case, but honestly, I dont have urgency. It’s my third buid.. I sold the first one one build (exept the frame) and currently I’m riding the second one, so let’s say is only for hobbie.. but you know.. after order it I’m ansious to receive it and start the build :)
