Velobuild VB-R-368 Aeroframe

Does anybody know, whether the frame will come with headset bearings and a bottom bracket?

I bought two frames from VB: both times headset was included. BB is not included (makes sense, cause VB doesn't know which crankset you are using).

I asked Chris when I ordered.  He said yes the headset is included, the BB is T47 and they can supply one for $40 (so not included by default).

Apparently you can also get a custom paint, besides a matt black / gloss black finish.

Drooling over the possiblity to have this frame in raw carbon with clear coating

Thank you for asking!

Black UD with matte protective coating for me  I figure it's easier to add colour via the finishing kit, so I have some matching neon yellow bar tape and bottle cages ready.

By the way in case nobody else checks the product page every few days, it's now saying 'frames available and stock after ISO4210 test ;we will start shipment 20th Sep'.

So better late than never.

Got curious when I didnt hear anything after the 20th that was the new estimated start of shipping. Wrote to Chris and got the reply that they had to shut down for a few days due to a typhoon and shipping should start beginning of next week. To be continued!

I've put the order in for one as well now. They need a few weeks to do the custom painting and say it should be shipped around middle of October.

They will include a headset cover for both their own stem and for ACR, so hopefully I have a bit of options in the front.

I also ordered one. I didn't want any of their handlebars or stems and got a 60 USD discount on the frame. I'm going to build it up with SRAM Rival AXS and a set of Zen 60mm wheels.

New images up on the website. In my view it looks even better than the ones of the renders and transition between the fork and frame looks smoother. Also i dont know if its me but headtube looks really narrow from the front view. The only thing left is to see how it looks on a full build.

I'm pretty sure that is my frame order in those photos. Perhaps shipping info will be provided soon

Is it size 55 and bare carbon finish?

Patrick. Did you ever your Tantan x68 and build it up?  Maybe I missed it.

Could you please explain how this discount was applied?
Also, could you let me know which type of handlebars you have in mind to use in this setup?

Why did you decide to buy it? From the features (geometry, weight, etc.) it seems very similar to the TT-x38, which you didn't like very much.
