When we will see more details?

Okay so what you will need is a screw extractor. A proper bike shop should have them and be able to help you with that. Otherwise you should be able to get a set at any decent hardware store, but they should also be used with a power drill.

cheers! worked like a charm! Had to use a saw to fix it, but it worked out in the end.

Here she is. Seatpost needs carbon paste because there is no screw to tighten anything. Pushed some tissues into the seat hole to fill out the gap between seatpost and frame.

Front fork unfortunately still ratlles back and forth, especially when braking. the fork already comes with an angled base, so I could not fit the fork crown race, maybe that's the reason?

If any of you have the same problem or maybe arleady found a solution, it'd be much appreciated if you could share

I was wondering the same when trying to build mine, how does the crown race fit? If anyone has done this before please help us out haha

No screw to tighten the seatpost? Or that it still slips after tightening to the right torque?
Anyways, it looks great! Just hope it rides as good when you solve the rest of the issues

Hang on... Two things
No way to tighten seat post No wedge or anything? Bolt underneath top tube?
Rattling forks
Not sure I'd want to ride it!

Do you have any photos of the forks pre installation?

I can talk about my experience and the seatpost hasn’t been an issue and came with all the necessary parts.

I only got this photo of the fork that shows the base of the fork where the crown race doesn’t seat properly. It might be user error so I don’t want to blame it on the frame without a proper mechanic’s opinion.

No seat bolt anywhere. There's a wedge inside the frame, on which the seatpost rests. you have to cut the seat tube to reach your desired seat height.

Asked the guys from velobuild. let's wait for their response

I will also add the weight if anyone is interested

Frame Size 49, w/o metal parts and glossy blue chameleon: 1388g
Handlebar 380/100: 387 g
Seatpost uncut: 215g
Fork uncut: 495

Oh no that's SHIT, cutting the seatpost to exact length? That's even worse than an ISP

PLEASE take your bike to a real bike shop, the more you post the more I worry for your safety.

Also, check in all the little boxes and little bags for the seatpost wedge clamp that would be pushed in where you for some reason have stuffed tissues down. Hopefully you didn't throw it in the trash. Photo attached as an example.

Bro, please. That's clearly not the case.
Check velobuilds own photos, you can clearly see a clamp.
OP is just having a few bad days of learning bike mechanics the hard/unsafe way.
