Aeroframe for 1,96cm tall rider (6fot 5inch)
« on: April 15, 2021, 12:53:54 PM »
Hi Everybody

I´m kinda looking to build a aero road bike with integrated cabling and 60´ish mm deep disc wheels.
Being tall, I find many of the Chiners too small for my liking. I’m all “legs” so seattube length is always an issue.
Currently looking at Velobuild VBR-99 – but is it big enough……I just don´t know..

Are there any tall riders out there with experience on chiner aero frame ??

Happy riding to all

I'm super happy with mine.
Don't let the bad review on the website scare you.
I talked before buying mine to 2 other owners and they couldn't confirm the issues stated in the review.
Only Point 6 I can partly confirm, the mount is indeed a bit rotated, but it works without problems.
I just need to take some pictures sometimes and will set up a build thread then.

Thanks schumo -  and yes, it´s not the best review on their website  :o

This aero bike will be my third chiner, and there is always something when you build these bikes. Never the less, I´m super happy with my other bikes - they are perfect.

I would say I know my preferenced geometry. I'm 1,88m tall and I would take the velobuild vbr 099 in size 56. So I think 58 would be right for you. Take a long stem and put some spacers under the stem.
It's possible to make a small bike bigger but it's not possible to make a big bike smaller

if youre still interested, i bought the r12 too. im 6'7 so i feel your pain. dengfu is the only retailer i can find that makes 61's. the next highest was either winspace, yoeleo, or ican, who made it in 59 (MAYBE 60 depending on the frame, i forget, def not 61). i fit in a 61 but im all upper body, my inseams equal to like a 6'1 guy. so youd probably fit nicely in a 59. for my next build (if i sell my current fm098) i might get an ican a9 in 59 and hope i can squeeze my ass in it.
