Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame

[Unknownftp]

Yep, size medium for me. I'm from germany.

Hey if you go to euro bike. Looks like they have one for test ride you could snag at the end maybe lol

It has fork mounts. Hopefully they didn’t mess anything up, since the product pictures never showed them.

I've also received confirmation that my order is ready to ship within the next days.

I don't know if it's an ugly paint job or a bad angle of the picture but it looks way less cool than I expected. Especially the area where the seatstays connect to the seatpost does not look great

I asked VB about the fork mounts and they told me that the Eurobike test bike has a fork from a different frameset and the production framesets won't have the mounts

What of the geometry of the GR/GV201 are you disliking that you prefer in the VB Aero Grav?

I am by far no expert in this topic but from what i see it has a stack to reach of 1.37 which is more agressive than my Canyon Ultimate, it is  also longer in reach than the ultimate and the Velobuild but has a larger wheelbase and very long chainstays, which i read feels less twitchy / racey as you would expext from such a frame…
I do like the look and the storage option though

Same feeling here... I saw it on Instagram earlier, did not recognize the frame...

I was going to comment here that the fork was different, too skinny...

Apparently the tires that are in the photos are 40's so tire clearance at least in the fork looks like it could clear 2.2's maybe. at least 2.0 in the rear.

Anyone know what the right whatsapp number is for VeloBuild? The button on the site doesn't work for me, says 'invalid'. Thanks!

Apologies we're getting that fixed! you can reach us on WhatsApp at +86 135 1026 2471

I dont. VB is a broker so they are sourcing from whoever they want. Given they sell quite a few models, you can be sure they source from different factories. They may even source a given frame from different factories. Given the price point i also doubt the highest care goes into making the frames, so i dont expect factories to advertise they have VB as a client.
VB has been selling open moulds designs, but also models i havent seen anywhere else, so they might own some moulds.

Slight correction, we're a manufacturer and have our own factory. We also OEM for others brands as well and are focusing these days on unique moulds we own ourselves

...and now get your things together and use realistic delivery dates on your frames. I'm still waiting for the shipment of my frame.

We completely hear you and you're right, delivery timelines need to be realistic. Sorry you're still waiting on your frame, that’s not the experience we want anyone to have.

Can you shoot us a DM at the WhatsApp number below with your order number? We’ll check on it right away and make sure you’re in the loop. Thanks for your patience and for keeping us accountable.

Hey VeloBuild.Bikes.
Would it be possible to post some high-quality, real-world pictures of the finished frame here for us? To check how it looks, details, and what the quality of the painting is?

...and postponed again to next monday - allegedly a problem with the anti slip paint on the seat post..

will keep updating

+1 on this.

The frame on the Eurobike booth does not look like the frame on the website listing. A part from the fork that someone already said is from a different frame, there are several other nuances and details, specially on the front of the bike that don't add up... Would be nice to see a high detail picture

Why could they not bring the final ones to the Eurobike since they are going to ship the first batch in the next few days?
