Re: SEKA Bikes? Out of contact? Saddle setback and saddle height should always be set first, and remain constant across all your bikes.

I finished my VB-R-177 build yesterday. With Shimano 105 and DT Swiss 470 rims on Prime hubs, it's not super-light, coming in at 7.5kg.

Issues:
- the handlebar channels for concealed cables are very tight
- very difficult to mount the headset assembly with concealed cables and avoid headset play
- matt back paint is not even across the whole frame

Other than that, I'm pretty happy. This is my training bike, not for racing.

Very respectable weight!!! Congratulations.

Most budget brands from the Far East should be treated as stepping stones rather than final destinations.

It's a great way to gain valuable bike building experience, before naturally progressing to the bike you actually want...

Time out even the budget bikes can be final destinations.  It depends. If you are just riding for fun and exercise and not racing.   A budget carbon bike is still a lot of bike for your money. As long as you have done your homework. You can end up with a final destination bike your first time. And that wasn't a joke about their safety.

Hi all, after waiting 'patiently' my 177 frame finally arrived and the colour looks great, quality looks to be good. Very excited to start the build process. I had a question regarding the crownrace. This is my first build, so excuse if it's a stupid question.

As I push it on and does not seem to sit flush with the 'shoulder' of the fork. Is this correct? I cannot push it any further down. Is this done purposely or is the racer incorrect? To note it fits the bearings perfectly which also fit well in the frame.

It looks like you have a fork with an integrated crownrace so you don't need that. The bearing is going to sit directly on the fork.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets Amazon (USA) is selling SRAM Force eTap groupsets on sale for around $800.

Levers, calipers, pre-bled hoses, both derailleurs, a set of rotors, 2 batteries, AND charger. All you need to buy is a crank, chain, and cassette.

This is a no brainer...

I think the regular bike prices have been tacky. You will soon have to be a millionare to buy a road bike.
Not really, especially if you buy used. Plus with all the affordable "original" frames there's no point in buying a fake frame, unless you want to look like you spent more money than you could afford which seems to be the case with you.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame New groupset (Ultegra 11sp Di2). Went back to the LightBicycle AR45s with Challenge Criterium RS tires. Still need to bleed the brakes and weight it. 7.82kg as shown.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Crashed my bike at a crit a few weeks ago and decided to go for a new budget build with this frame (size 56, black). I live in the Netherlands and received the frame within 2 weeks. Can't wait to build the bike, but need to wait for a new group and wheels. Frame looks very nice and even a seatpost cover is included!
