New VeloBuild gravel race frame in the works...

Very nice!
I'm curious, would you be able to make a pie chart with who is buying gravel frames from you, vs who is buying road frames?
I feel that in continental Europe, gravel is not too popular, and i suspect it's very popular in the US.
So, pie chart 1 could be gravel frame sales per shipping destination: US X%, Germany Y%...
and pie chart 2 could be road frame sales per shipping destination.

I'm in Europe, and nobody around me has even said the word gravel in months. I have 2 gravel bikes in a friend's attic i havent touched in 1y. And the other gravel frames i built for friends are being used with road tyres only...
That'd be very cool to see.

Good question.
In Italy the gravel mania have just dropped the top and the gravel market is in a downward spiral.
Every weekend in my area (larger Venice area) you can find a gravel event (race or ride) with high fees, aero carbon wheelset, overpriced craft beer, mustaches + lumberjack shirt.

I own a road bike I use only for training and a gravel bike I use for commuting and "adventure", not speed...just fun and explore. In fact I never use my trail cannondale Habit...

In-frame storage part of those plans?

Sounds like a danger for rattle noise!!

Hey folks,

I want to pull the trigger on the velobuild aero grav frame, but I'm not sure about the size. I've got a Scott rc foil (2024) in size 54 with a 100mm stem and no spacers. It fits very good. I'm 1,79m with 87cm inseam.
The aero grav in S/52 has a similar stack and reach. In size M/54 stack (+23mm) and reach (+17mm) are longer/higher. So I would run the size M with a 80 or 70mm stem and would have a higher stack - therefore more control? What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your input
