Velobuild VB-R-368 Aeroframe

[Pistonbroke]

the frame in the facebook post seems to be a 490 from my measurements, not sure if it's mentioned but it's a small or even extra small

Well done! They said it's a 49 on their Insta.

Such a WIDE seatpost like that really does require an adjustable TT style fore/aft saddle clamp. Function over form.

It lets VB only have to develop a single seatpost. Although I suspect not a single customer needs a 15mm offset, including myself. In fact I've been moving my saddle forward these days. Really just depends on the seat tube angle. My Scott Foil has a deep post as well but uses a single bolt clamp. So it could be done if VB wanted.

I would love to see how this VB-R-368 performs in a 4 corner circle for 40 minutes.

The main sprinter on this team took the first two days of Tulsa Tough this past summer. Riding what appears to be the final boss of aero bikes.

Love that Simplon Pride 
Seen the new S5 on Saturday in store that bike also looks

That's unironically a faster bike than any WT rider has.

Intersting that they posted the bike with the new Lightcarbon handlebar, must be a customer bike

Looks to be the T4 Ultra handlebars and not the new Lightcarbon ones. These handlebars don't have the traditional two bolt clamping mechanism

I actually usually need some offset because i use an ISM saddle for specific events and inline seaposts don't work very well with it, but i agree i'm a very small niche.

on the velobuild website you can pay a little extra for custom paint, depending on the amount of colors and/or effect.

i left a comment asking this in the instagram post, let's see what they reply

If you dont get a reply, email Chris and ask. I got the option of regular clearcoat on raw carbon. But think they can sort you out!

slowly getting in shape! love the frame (size 49)

you can also have your seatpost painted in the same style as the frame, in case that's your thing.

but first time building a bik for me - can somebody tell me what that black ring is good for?

[KRoser]

tovu: looks sweet, are those 50 or 60mm deep wheels?
That is fork crown race, some forks dont have that angle molded in, it comes as standard with headset, if you fork does not need it (have that angle already molded in) I guess just can just leave it.

[toxin]

It's a crown race. Should go on the fork steerer for the bottom head tube bearing to sit on

If anyone has already received a XL frame and have images of it please post them because i would like to see how it looks.

Don't think XLs start shipping until the 20/10

i got a half reply, yes on the clearcoat over raw but no comment on the tint. i'll email chris before ordering (as i don't want the integrated cockpit anyway)
