Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame
Hello, just finished my build. At first I wanted to build my bike around Hygge Model S frame. So I started to look for information about this frame and found this forum. After reading this forum and watching Pattys videos I decided to go for Velobuild VB-268. I choose painted variant. Frame showed 1040 g on scales in size 58. I didn't waight rest of the stuff (fork, seat post and integrated handlebar). I build my bike with 12sp Ultegra Di2 and Elite Edge wheels. Whole bike came out 8,2 kgs redy to ride with pedals, bottle cages and computer mount. I saw bikes weighing 7,8 kg on this thread. I don't know how you manage to achieve a weight of less than 8 kg. Any advices on how to get the weight down? Building a bike was pretty straight forward except brakes - I can't properly align calipersto get rid of rubbing. April 13, 2024, 02:58:50 AM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame -build finally complete!
Had to dig for this thread in the deep, with all the new banter about VBR-268, this poor little thread is getting forgotten.

Lightcarbon LCR017-D
Hello all, This is my first post on the forum after being a long-time lurker. In this post, I want to share the entire process of purchasing the frame mentioned directly from Lightcarbon. So far, I have been in contact with LC, and Carol has been super responsive and helpful in providing me with information about the frame buying process, the shipping process, and the payment details. I am planning to order a custom frame painted inspired by the colors of the Maclaren MP4/4 from Senna. I'm not an F1 fan, but I really liked the palette. You can see the mockup here.  Once I place the order, I will provide detailed pricing for each element. I'm glad to answer any questions. PS: I'm not a native English speaker (Spanish), so please be kind with my grammar.

Re: Hygge Aero Carbon Frame
Just checking back in to see everyone else's experience here. Strava tells me I have 3311km on my bike so far, issue free. I have changed the cockpit post bike fit as I needed 130mm on the stem. So far so good. I feel like I had great value for money with this build and wouldn't hesitate to buy another frame from these guys. April 21, 2024, 02:15:43 PM |

Re: TideaceBike New mold Road Frame FM-CR068 groupbuy
Sorry for my mistake, it is for 700*32C for the new mold FM-CR068. So are you really just going to ignore the discussion about the cut off seat tube / looped top tube etc? No comment on how it's been designed and why? April 25, 2024, 06:30:45 AM |
