Re: Carbonda 1056 - VB-R-066 - or something else? Anything Carbonda is great. If the geometry fits, and you like the specs, I would recommend it. They are miles ahead of velobuild.

Re: Spider mounted power meter advice I Bought a sigeyi on ebay. It failed after a few months. Contacted sigeyi and the seller. I had to send it back to China (100$CAD), and they sent me a new one. No issues since.

LTK 268 Size 56 / VB-R-099 / Workswell WCB-R-268 Complete bike 1300 USD Hi Everyone!


After a summer of enjoying my bike, it is time to sell it to purchase a time trial bike!

The frame is the the Longteng LTK-268D. Some say they are the OEM for velobuild. I cannot confirm! I know they used to be the OEM for Wiggle.

The LTK-268D is the same frame as the Velobuild 099. The color is glossy chameleon. It looks blue or purple

Size: 56


Wheels : Elite Wheels ENT Disc 60mm depth

Tires : Continental Gp5000 25mm

Saddle : Selle Italia Boost SLR

Handlebars: 380x90mm. I also have a set of 400x100 included for free.

Groupset: Sensah Empire 11 speed with 170mm cranks.

Power meter: Sigeyi axo power meter

Brakes : JUIN TECH F1 brakes 160mm

11-28 casette


The bike is currently built with the cables routed externally through the spacers. This allows you to change handlebars easily. To achieve this, I had to cut the spacers, as instructed by another forum member. I will also include a set of uncut spacers if you decide to route the cables inside the handlebars to achieve the clean look.

I also have an extra rear derailleur hanger.


The entire build was 4000$ CAD / 3000$ USD in November 2021.

The bike was used 70% on Zwift, 30% outdoors in 2022. A few scratches here and there. Nothing you can really spot unless you are really looking.

I am willing to sell it for 1300USD + shipping from Montreal,Canada. price is negotiable

Re: Velobuild VB-R-218 How can you even use the word sluggish, without comparing it to a frame 5x the price???

What does sluggish mean?

If you want to compare this bike, please compare it to a similarly priced bike. You cannot pay 2000USD ,  and expect it to ride like a 15 000USD bike.

Nobody buys a Toyota corolla ( no offense) and expects it to drive like a Lamborghini.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-218 I totally agree with the confirmation bias.



I should have stated,

You SHOULDN'T compare a Toyota to a Lamborghini. Enjoy your Toyota, its a great car, but not a supercar.


And that's ok.
