This is the seatpost clamp. If you can’t see the screw, maybe it’s installed upside down.

My god ... am both embarrassed and grateful for your comments! Would have never realized that the seat clamp was missing.
Thank you guys! seriously! Double checked every corner of the box and every plastic bag. Believe mine came without a seat clamp. Just reached out to Velo to send it.

cheers!

That's what we're here for ;)
On a more serious note, get your forks and bearings checked, you're going to get hurt if it's loose.

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 :)

What is the handlebar, can you share more pics?

Looks like a winspace hyper handlebar, not sure which model though. Not the VB-supplied one for sure

Chris just replied that they're planning on shipping the frame set I ordered about a month ago on Monday - size 46 with custom paint. I expect 2-3 weeks delivery time, so will hopefully get it around middle of November. Ryet Aircode saddle just arrived and LightCarbon HBR17 360x130mm handlebar is on the way already as well. Group set to be sourced more locally within the next weeks :D
