Velo Build R-099 Build

[RDY]

I could be interested in the seat post. Have you got a price for it, other than the mould price?

What ever they charge for a new one usually.  Which I think is usually $40-50.

Hi guys. I am new on this forum and really enjoy it.  Recieved my R-099's last month. Building up a size 52 for my girl right now. Really happy with the size 54 I am riding. I am definetly willing to pay $50 for the zero offset mould.

Up to $350 potentially then.

Can you give the the version number for the FSA headset you're using,  is it 52mm bearings?? Thanks!

Is it the FSA No.55r 1.5?

[BiciDomingo]

Yes. That's the one. I used the FSA bearing on the top. The Velobuild bearing at the bottom.

not sure what the central screw is that you're referring to, a pic would help but if your seat post is slipping use carbon paste

you only need that tight to preload the headset bearings but after you tighten down the stem it really doesnt matter if it slips a bit as long as the expander plug is still going the full length of the stem to stop the stem from crushing your steerer tube.

This carbon paste has worked really well for me:

It has nice fine abrasive particles in it and I have zero slipping of the seat post.

Ok, good news.  Chris has said that $350 from us is enough to start the zero offset mould.

We'll PP our $50 each and then they'll begin.

The following expressed interest in paying $50 each for the mould.  If you don't want to go ahead, please indicate now and we'll try to find others to fill your place.

When Chris gives me the PP address he wants to use, I'll post it here.  Reference will be "099 zero offset mould".   When you've made the payment, you can post a screengrab here of it - of course feel free to obscure personal details. 

I've also asked him to indicate what the final price for the seatpost will be.

Nice! Thanks for organizing @RDY.

Great news! Thanks @RDY for organizing.

If possible, could you ask Chris if he can apply a portion the payment for the mould to the payment for the actual seat post? It doesn't necessarily have to be the full amount, depending on the final price, but even a discounted price would be a nice gesture for getting this made for all of us to be able to pick up.

Thanks!
