Nice build. How does it ride ?

Nice one! Did you weighted it? Could you post some detailed pictures of the cockpit? Was it easy to find good position?

[Hmpf]

What happened to the cover on the seat tube? Does it not fit?

[Serge_K]

very nice.
can you please post 1000 pictures on the front end of the bike? i'm curious about how it works, how adjustable it is, whether it's well made and so on, because if you can't adjust that correctly, you can't get comfortable on the bike and it defeats the purpose.
the VB website has very little information about the front end.
Thanks!

This is my first TT bike, i was very uncomfortable at first so i had to always stop and adjust my position. Ill get you a proper feedback as soon as i get dialed in.

It is at 20.75lbs with everything you see in the pictures on my first post. The cockpit has a decent amount of adjustability, i believe the extensions are a copy of metron tfa armrest, ill take more detailed pictures of the cockpit and its adjustability.

I had to adjust my seat when i did my shakedown, it does fit but i just didnt put it properly when i took the pictures

Ill get you more detailed pictures soon and its adjustability. The cockpit came with 3 spacers, a 5mm, 10mm and 20mm. The bridge can be flip and has more than 20 mounting holes, it looks similar to the one in aliexpress when you search for tt bars.

Superb build and sooo clean! Love seeing tt builds on this forum more and more. I'm also thinking about building a tt bike during next winter, and I'm thinking the tantan tt912 or velobuild vb-r-023. I'd be super grateful if you post more pictures. Especially details on the mounting points. Can the frame hold a bento box? Or does it have other storage means for nutrition? Alsooo, can you mount a front hydration system to the stem? Sorry for the spam, I'm just getting a bit excited for this frame

[NikkoPh]

Here are some pictures of the cockpit, it has a decent amount of adjustability in my opinion. Unfortunately there are mounting holes on the top tube for extra hydration or bento box, maybe this can be added in the future.

Have actually just pulled the trigger on ordering a VB-TT-23 too for a cheap Disc Brake TT build but is yet to arrive. Frameset looked decent but only concern (not even concern, just my petty-ness) is the Basebar and the exposed bolts on the underside.  My frameset is yet to arrive but thinking of getting some other basebars to address the aforementioned issue.
Don't suppose you could measure the width of the stem clamping section could you please?
Thanks

I actually ordered a tririg alpha one to replace mt basebar and extensions. I have a few measurements i did before ordering it, see attached pictures. Let me know if you need any other measurements.

I also ordered this frame a few weeks ago, still waiting for it to arrive. I also asked them to add some bento box rivets to the top tube which they said yes to, so that's an option.

Is there any way of routing di2 cables down the extensions? I was assuming that there was an exit hole somewhere at the bottom of the extensions but I cant see one
