My Velobuild 168 arrived in the mail today. 52 cm. I think I got lucky!!
Paint looks good and as advertised, although I swear the pearl white looks a little off white or I could just be seeing things.
After a cursory glance around, interior looks good. You can definitely see where they glue the different sections together, but otherwise looks fine.
Annoyingly, one of the “nuts” for the steerer clamp on the stem did not make it to my house along with the rest of the frame. Emailing Chris tonight.
I purchased the separate stem/handlebar (110 mm, 42 cm) with the bike and other than the missing part, it looks good.
See photos. I came up with the scheme one night after a long day at work. Pearl white, metallic silver, loud pink. The loud pink is nice.
This all being said, does anyone want to take this off my hands? This project is getting terminated due to unforeseen circumstances and if anyone wants it let me know? ( I hope this bit doesn’t violate the forum policies; if it does I can remove it!)
