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

Really interested in the ride feel when you build it up. Given the frame weight i would assume that they used flexier carbon and epoxy, but the tube profiles and the seatpost suggest a harsher ride.

new picture on VB site, also looks like a size 49. Unfortunately non-drive side  :(

The guy's in good shape, he eats well at the cafeteria  ;D

It's actually for my GF, so it would be second-hand feedback, but I'll ask her how it compares to her current S5 rim - though usually she's not very good at feeling differences in ride characteristics (which is also why I'm not too worried about this frame for her). A friend of mine also has a larger size on order, so can hear him as well when he gets it build.

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

They posted a picture on how the fork and handlebar should be assembled. I sticked to the script, but still get the wobbling sensation (not up and down, but back and forth)

Anyone else with the same problem? Does direction of headset BB maybe play a role?

Have you got the top cap torqued down enough?
Check the cap isn't touching the top of the forks.

Regularly the C ring is out of tolerance and leads to a wobbling fork. If it is out of metal that’s the case.

They blurred out the frame decal because it probably said Van Rysel.

nothing as fancy. picked it up from ali

380mm x 130mm
I was thinking that I could only use Velobuild handlebars, but if I don’t use spacers, is it possible to install any handlebar?

Is that one in pink? It looks like it's size XS, I'll also order XS with a custom color.

No, my colour is IceBreak Pink on top front fading to black. But thanks for the picture, most complete bike I've seen of that size yet.

Thank you! When you have the product ready, please share some pictures. I’m thinking of using two colors like this, but with black flake and chameleon pink, still not completely sure yet.

Do you mind sending a picture of the ACR adapter. I'm interested to see how they implement my STL file.
