Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
Here’s mine.

Was able to put 100k on it before the weather got cold again. (this was seconds before I noticed my saddle slipped backwards lol).

Brakes took a shake down ride to bed in and then re-adjust to stop rubbing but the facing seems fine.


55mm elite wheels ent
sram force + rival crank
pirrelli pzero race 26mm tubeless
velobuild integrated bar/stem




Color looks dope! What color is it?

Re: Velobuild VB-R-218
I wasn't aware you could chose different shopping. Mine says "EMS" on the invoice. The final delivery in Germany was done by DPD.

Apparently the shipping went through Belgium ans I didn't have to pay any additional fees other than the ~160€ that I paid to velobuild. Not sure if they are avoiding customs that way or if that already was included.
Nice one, paintjob looks very good, especially for that price!

Which shipping method did you chose to Germany? Did you have to pay any additional duties or fees?

Thanks and greetings from Germany!  ;)

i asked chris and he said i should use xbd shipping to avoid any customs etc. (that is for shipping to austria, which is probably the same as for germany)

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
I am having trouble with running the front derailleur cable to the housing in the frame, while the housing is attached to the frame I cant get the cable into it just seems impossible to try an fit the cable into the housing through the bottom bracket opening, if I remove the housing to seat the cable outer the housing will not go back into the frame, anyone else have this trouble and if so can you let me know how you did it  :)

I had the same problem on my VB 177. I sanded the endcap of the cable housing down a bit til it fitted
