Here is a short video on opening and closing the latch: https://youtu.be/Kc6TbN95QW8?si=rJybJezpOjw5A6xx

Awesome! Thank you very much! Really looking forward to whatever content you produce with this.

It looks rather narrow, thats true. Only time will tell, I guess.

I am more concerned about the longevity of the closing machanism of the downtube latch. It has to hold the momentum of a waterbottle. Any opinions on that, anyone?

The T47 is the lastest standard and, from what I hear, universaly praised. The alloy inlets make it way easier for the hole to be round and in spec, than with pressfit aproaches. Also, it is large and acomodates for bigger bearings. It is one of the many pros for that farmeset, imo.

All done! ready to ship out.

This is all very exciting! From this picture it seems like, there arent screws on the top tube? Do you know anything about that? And does anyone know
how the compartment on the down tube closes? is there a mount for a bottlecage on the latch itself?

I might build a first time Chinese bike with this frame for my bff, she is 167 cm tall, so I might go with the size 470, I think. Any opinions on that? I took here existing road bike as a template and talked with her what she likes/dislikes about it.

best wishes and thanks a lot to everyone on this thread and this forum. absolutly love it!

I recently completed a new build based on the VeloBuild VB-R-066 2023 Disc endurance(ish) road bike frame and the L-TWOO eR9 electronic groupset.

Why do you call the frame endurance(ish)? Is it going towards a "climbing" bike? The geometry seems rather endurance to me, but I dont have a lot experience.

Thanks again!
