Just a small feedback. I have ordered the frame on Aug 07th, still on the way, stuck on custom clearance for 3 weeks now. Maybe it is specific to my country (France), but don't be too much in a hurry for this frame I guess.

I have never had this delay for custom clearance. Maybe one week max. What is the shipping company ?

Dpd if I remember well. Maybe I'll have it for summer time. I don't really know what else I can do but wait...

Well DPD stole mine earlier in the year, took 3 months, but velobuild reshipped a new frame...

It arrived in the EU 10 days after the tracking number was created, but I chose XDB, so no customs, did you pay for that?

Also be aware, my fork needed a crown unlike some people posted here, it seems like they ship different forks from time to time

Is it still with buying in late 2025? I really like the look with 27.2 seatpost and not to aero. But maybe wider tyre clearance would be nice? Any good alternatives?
And do the sizes run a bit small? Im 188 cm with inseam of 89 cm. Would you go with size xl in this frame? which also would give me a bit more comfortable ride position?
Normally i ride what would be called 58 cm.

And what stem and handlebar combo is preferable? Integrated or separate?

Here's my build. I build this bike in november '21 but never posted anything about it

- Ultegra R8070 groupset
- Dura Ace R9150 front derailleur
- Rotor Aldhu24 crankset with direct mount NOQ 50/34 chainring
- Farsports Feder 45mm (28mm width)
- PRO stealth performance saddle

It has been my trusty but often creaky companion in many travels
