VB-R-168 Build- A sceptic's experience
cscottride:
It is great now. I actually added more headset spacers to bring up the bars (as you can see in the pictures). I also have a 90mm stem so that shortens it up some. That is the main reason I switched from the integrated bars to the stem/bars combo. The reach was a little long for me.

Good to hear, does it come with enough spacers or did you have to order more? How tall are you? I’m 5’11.5” with slightly longer arms and trying to decide between sizes.

The frame is shipped with a cover that sits above the top bearing and 1x 5mm, 1x 10mm and 1x 20mm spacer. The top bearing cover is mandatory, and If all spacers are used the total stack is 43mm.
Hope this helps!

I think there are 5 spacers that come with the frame/fork/bar when you order the frame. When I ordered the separate stem/bar combo, I asked Chris from VB to include some more spacers (which he did). I am 6' 1" and have pretty long arms. However, I do not like a super aggressive position on the bike, so I opted for the added spacers. Hope that helps.

The weather is warming up and I have been able to get out for a few more rides. The bike is fast and handles great!
There is however a clicking coming from the BB area when I pedal. I am trying to determine what is causing this so I can get rid of it. It starts to get annoying on longer rides. Other than that, no issues :D.
I attached a current picture as well.
