Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame

Has anyone been as cheeky as to ask Velobuild to replicate a paint scheme directly from Specialized?

I've been emailing with Chris and he's confident that they would be able to do a glossy-to-matte finish ala Red Tint - Black Satin (picture provided).

Have any of you ordered the 168 (or any VB) with a transition like that?

Cheers!


They seem to be able to do a decent job on transitions. Check out the paint job they did on my GF-002 http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3499.msg36962.html#msg36962


I didn't have any specific requirements and just asked that the color fade from one to another, so maybe if you wanted a longer transition they could do that as well.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame You still need 160mm adapters. The compatibility means that the frame and fork are both strengthened enough to handle force generated by 160mm rotors while braking.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Lol tell me. I bought so many (redundant) parts either from Amazon or LBS, some even local hardware store and of course Ali-ex. But it didn't end at that. My build is long done and I still buy parts...

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Hello.

I order my frame on October 2022. After that I order the other components, some new some second hand (groupset). Order from Velobuild was easy and fast. I didn't have any questions because I get all informations from topic here or YT.

This was my first build, I do all by myself.  8)

Frame size is 56, handlebar is integrated also from Velobuild. Wheelset is Elite Ent-disc 60, groupset is one of the best mechanical Shimano Ultegra R8020, with R7100 crankset. In front 50/34 and at back 11/30 (of course 11 speed). At my old bicycle (Giant Propel Advanced 2 2017) I run 52/36 and 11/28, but for this I want a bit easier gears.  :)

Here are pictures (without bar tape, now I wrap Supacaz black with white stars). Sorry for bad english.  :-[

What's it to you? Let the man do what he wants. I find it good jest to be honest.

At least this will help him resell it for a much better price  ;D

Build is finally done! Pretty happy with the Spechinalized S-Wok  :D

It’s a tribute to PatLino. I know you can’t get enough of my decals!  ;D

It would be pretty hilarious if you actually put “S-Wok” on it.
