Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame

[vasnd]

I'm sure you thought about moving the saddle to the front with the 80mm?

i have an ergon saddle with approximately 3cm space, that would be enough to compensate, maybe not so good for her knees
in combination with moving the cleats on the shoes i'm sure you get 10mm out

Well first of all I love the idea, thank you for thinking with me! However she came fresh from a bike fitting session which put the cleats in the right place for best power transfer and so these settings and the stack and reach numbers are what we have to go with. Just one small piece of the puzzle left: a compatible stem/handlebar  .

Have you asked Velobuild if they can do a "custom" cockpit with the dimensions you requested? Maybe they can to more sizes then are actually on the website.

Unfortunately Chris told me the website sizes are the only ones available.

For the ACR combo I'll have to change the headset or am I wrong there?

I am not sure, but it could be.

everything fits perfekt, quality of the Painting is top

used a sram force Etap Got it  from  my local bike dealer,  1 month delivery shorter than  the frame
torx for the axle is 40 sorry for the confusion,

hope i  can fo for a first ride tomorrow

Looks awesome, congrats on the the build! What was the solutions to the cable rub in the headset area?

Hoping to get my frame in the next few days and will share some build photos as well.

cable have been routed like on the picture iadded

front brake in front of the fork to the right
rear brake on the left side of the fork just a few cm above the front brake cable

turning now is very smooth, just if i turn the handelbar 90° there is a little bit of scratching

[Zoc]

First Ride today,
Everything works Fine,
Just some small Modifikations on the shifting

Sram force Etap  is realy amazing, i love ist

Bike ist really fast, 100% recommondation

After the first rides incl. climbs one tip from my side

the handlebar is curved to the front, more than expected after the pictures,
would recommand to take 2 cm shorter stem

Received my frame yesterday. Darker than it's supposed to be but it's lighter than the photo shows, depending on the angle.

Interesting. Have you been able to make any adjustments to compensate for the extended reach?

[Zoc]

Moved the saddle a Bit,
Problem is That i like the length Right next to the stem,
But the brake is a little  Bit to wide
Think about to Switch to a 420/10 handlebar

Think it would look good in direct sunlight though. Is this the purple/red chameleon?

Yah it definitely looks cool in the sun. The effect can't easily be captured in a photo. The colour is Chameleon Purple and was supposed to be this http://www.velobuildmall.com/products/2020urple-chameleonaint-carbon-road-disc-frame-vb-r-099-hidden-cables but I got this http://www.velobuildmall.com/products/vb-r-168-light-weight-carbon-road-bike-frameset-purple-chameleon
