Velobuild VB-R-218

[gabbia]

That looks right if its the VB frame... I got 6 of them at the time of purchuse... just in case.

Who did you get the frame from? and how much?

I purchased the frame from velibuil,size XXL rim brake.
Chris informed me that was the last one.
The price is listed on their website (frame+paint job+ shipping 500€)
I don't understand part of the derailleur hanger ,is the same of the Pinarello One?

Yes it's the same. You are only replacing the actual hanger as the threaded portion is specific to the 218 rear axle. OEM Pinarello has a different thread

I finished my build.
Looking to the weekend for the test ride.
I have a question for you all.
I have the handlebar that always try to rotate on the right,like the internal cable push it to that side (rim brake frame)
Have anyone faced this issue,and have a tips to solve it?
I already try to change the rear brake cable length with no success

[Serge_K]

Usually that's because of the hoses inside. If they're not balanced on both sides of the steerer, that tends to happen. It's supremely annoying because you then have to undo the work you've done, sometimes you even have to pull hoses completely.
Internally routed bikes are a nightmare to work on. I don't want to ride anything else anymore because of vanity, but they're such a pain.

I got the rim brake frame, too. I left the rear brake cable and housing as long as possible because I found that the upper headset compression ring can kink the housing when rotating the bars otherwise. In general I found that leaving enough excess length in the housing of all cables usually helps with freeing up steering. Too much however can cause problems too. So it’s trial and error I’m afraid.

Situation improved by shortening the rear brake cable guide.
Here is my built
Frame: Velobuild 218 XXL rim brake ,120/42 handlebar
Brakes Shimano Ultegra r8000
Shifters ,front & rear derailleur Shimano 105 r7000 11 speed
Crank set Shimano 105 r7200
Chain kmc
Cassette zitto Ultralight 11-34
Dtswiss 460 rim with Shimano 105 hub
The majority of components were recycled ,the scope of the build was keep the price lowest as possible
Final weight 8.6 kg for less than 1000€ (also considering the price of the stuff take from old projects)
If the bike ride as it looks I will change the wheels whit a carbon pair,maybe elite edge or boty or scribe (looking for inner rim wider then 20mm)

P.s. the handlebar tape will be changed with a black one

hahaha please tell me you re going to use nicer wheels than this. I dont actually like pinarello or what they stand for, but i do respect their commitment to design and what not, and your combo here is just wrong :p

As I said,if ride good,new wheels will be installed
At least is a budget build

[Queen of Skulls]

I should still have my 2 from my frames since both bikes are AXS. I'd be willing to ship if you are USA

Velobuild send me the hose through piece  that I already have and not the stop.. If you have the hose stop. I would like it please.

Just build mine up yesterday, the handlebar has alot of flex in the drops. Read here someone else had this to. Hoods are fine. Are they all like this?

[Sebastian]

Mine are not the stiffest bars I ever had but not the flexiest either. Sort of a healthy middle ground. If I was any good at sprinting, I’d probably prefer them to be slightly stiffer. For climbing out of the saddle they’re stiff enough, though
