not in development yet, about a year still, they said they will start development in early 2026 with planned release in may 2026

Has anyone tried a magene pes 505 on this frame? Does it fit?

is that the pearl white? do you have more photos? thats what I am planning to buy

I really cannot decide between the two here.

I was originally planning to get the VB-R-268 but now I cant decide because this new gravel bike from velobuild is extremely inciting and is also 70 USD cheaper which when converted to CAD for myself is a noticeable amount of money.

I am larger at around 95kg and I am 194cm so a bit larger so the weight of the bike isnt a large factor for me.

I was planning to race a fondo with the bike which is strictly road.

The daily riding I am planning to do is 70% road 30% hard packed gravel. More specifically I will be doing gravel and road on the same ride, very rarely will I be doing just one or the other on the same ride.

I was planning to just put some cyclocross tires on the 268.

Questions:
how much is the gravel bike going to slow me down on the fondo with some 32c tires on it?
Is the bike not going to feel as fun when riding on the road?

I would love any advice, I am really up in the air here.

I hope they do take care of this. Im thinking about buying one. If they dont its definitely going to scare me away.

I agree, if its too pricy I will be going with velobuild 268 unfortunately.

This sounds perfect for what I want. I am going to buy this depending on price.
