Re: Velobuild quality & pricing Velobuild is a good frame. Maybe not the best, but the price can't be beat. Specifically, I'd say: get the frame, get it painted elsewhere. I was happy with everything but the paint job. They even did an RMA on my fork when it developed a hairline crack, around a year after.

Re: Velobuild quality & pricing My first chinese frame was through velobuild back when it was a forum similar to this. Then it was handed over (or sold) to Zhongwei and it became their storefront. It actually was a zhongwei frame and I rode it for thousands of miles. Sold it and it is still being ridden locally.

Serge summed it up pretty concisely. We skip the middle man and overhead costs buying direct.
While I don't believe these frames are the same quality as high end big brands, they're getting closer and closer.

Re: Velobuild quality & pricing Hi!

I ordered the VB-TT-023 last year an dI'm very happy with it. I had a problem with the fork, the steerer tube hole was not "drilled enough" to install the expander but they sent me a new fork very fast  8)

I also like the riding feeling, it's more like a road bike than a TT bike... i prefer that (I had the orbea ordu omx before)

Re: Velobuild quality & pricing Thanks!

Yes, I chose the custom paint option from Velobuild. It's way cheaper than a custom paint in France.

Re: VeloBuild VB-TT-023 Hi!

Here’s another build. Put it together last autumn and didn’t have any major issues, apart from Velobuild never sending me a replacement for the incorrectly painted bottle mount even though they promised they would…
Build was relatively easy, after I gave up trying to make Juin Tech F1 brakes work and switched to Riderever Triva ones.

It’s my first tri-bike, so I have nothing to compare it to. Fun to ride, and certainly fast enough to make me the bottleneck, not the bike :)


However, the seat post has recently started slipping when under load during a ride. I first noticed it after going over an extended patch of grooved asphalt - pure washboard. I wonder if that might have damaged something, but I can’t see any signs of that.

What’s the maximum torque for the seatpost wedge? Are there any good tricks to secure the seat post better?

Thanks,
Markus

Re: VeloBuild VB-TT-023 Looks like Sunpeed is now selling complete VB-TT023 as 'Sunpeed Interstellar' limited info on pricing but some sites list it for around 11k USD :O
