Velobuild VB-R-368 Aeroframe

[neobiker]

This one looks really aero: the headtube is massive xD

32 C clearance, T47 bottom bracket, weight 1100 for M [ouchy?]

Massive reach and looks like the frame only works with their own handlebar as they use a specific top cap for the bearings.

I like it - thanks for sharing. Looks fast and reminds me a bit of the Storck Aerfast

Geometry looks super agressive, I like it a lot. I'll see how the first reviews turn out. And then maybe I'll upgrade from my VB-218 to this one, as it seems to fix one of the major flaws in my eyes (seatpost/clamp strength). Also EPS moulding and UDH is a nice touch

I was curious when chiner frames were gonna start elongating their head tubes...

[Tasthal]

If only those fat tubes had a storage option...

Size 550 frame is the EXACT geometry I need in my life. 15mm of spacers and 120mm stem. 1015mm wheelbase for stability and weight distribution.

Looking forward to your review then

I hope we can watch the review soon then!

Tchonky boi, I likes!

Similarly, this one popped up on another thread yesterday: https://mondincecycle.com/product/2026_aero_design_t1000_carbon_fiber_road_bike_frame_fm126.html

It looks like the numbers in terms of the frame are a little different though. The Mondince says that it clears 40mm wheels vs 32c which doesn't really make sense "T1000" layup which is probably not true since the weights look to be about the same as those specified with T800 on velobuild. 

All that to say I think its the same frame and I wonder if the Mondice frame is just far off.

The 1100g for medium is sort of acceptable for an aero frame considering the Factor Monza is quoted at 1100 in a size 54

The frames look quite a bit different, look at the top of the head tube, on the VB it seems to be a bit cut into the top tube, also the cut out for the rear wheel looks quite a bit different

So many of the ultra budget brands are just doing copy paste Tarmac SL7/8 clones. Probably because it's more affordable to obtain manufacturing molds of these designs?

This is a good move by VeloBuild. Offer some obnoxiously looking aero frame to appeal to the boy racer in us. The design reminds me a lot of the Simplon Pride frame those German crit bros from D3stroy Cycling Club (DCC) use. That frame won 2 of the 3 days at Tulsa Tough. However, the seatpost and fork are different though.

Hahaha I've got nightmares of that Simplon frame they're likeing destroying every race here in Germany

Holy shit, I'm kinda blown away by this, like this is some incredibly respectable design, I'd totally buy this, but velobuild history scares me a bit. Seatpost's a bit deep and it's t47I, but I can live with it. Geometry is aggressive enough where I can make it work without a ridiculously long or negative angle stem too.
