VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame VeloBuild's new road frame: https://www.velobuild.com/products/velobuild-2024-vb-r-268-carbon-fiber-aero-road-frame-disc-integrated-cables


Looks like a spec'd up VB-R-168


Highlights for me:


- T1000 carbon frame built using EPS and latex
- Mavic speed release system with axles included (what's everyone's experience with this?)
- zero offset seat post is stock

Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame Hello everyone, 1st post here but not my first bike, I guess this is my #20ish installed "no brand" bike in 15 years.
All went fine, especially as I decided to go AXS so it's super fast. What required more time is the routing through the (separated) handlebar. With a traditional handlebar, which requires an open window in the headset top cup, this would be easier but less pleasant from an aesthetic POV. I'd do this way next time (or the first time I'll need to change headset bearings).
One problem so far, for me, it's the "carbon" saddle clamp: as others noted it's too small for a 9mm height rail. I just wrote Chris for an updated clamp. For now, I Installed the 7*7mm clamp with a heavy Fizik saddle.
About weight, well...it's not its strength being a little "porky" but it's not too bad either (8.2 Kg as in photo).
I'll try it in the next days, checking seatpost "slippage".
Going back, I'd go with a 177, but now here it is.
Boring matte black, but hey, (less) grams!

Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame I finished my build yesterday. Everything went fine and it rides well. After the first ride the headset was loose, but I hope it just compressed.

I really like the colors and VB made a really good job for the money with the paint.

Hello, I ordered my VB-R268 end of september and the frame is still to be picked up by DPD. It‘s already been a week since I got the package tracking info.
Nevertheless I‘m very excited for the frame to arrive after everything I‘ve read so far on the forum. Can somebody tell me if the provided spacers are of an upgraded breakaway type, as seen on the new road bikes from Canyon, so that one can easily adjust the effective stack of the bike.
If not, do you know of any .stl files out there, so that I can 3D-print them myself?


Yes they look like the ones in the last photo on the page below and come in a few different sizes so you can use one or combine them.

Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame I'm glad you like the 268, as I am now waiting for my frame to arrive, and wheels... well, and groupset (which i didn't yet choose). I took 26iw/33outer width rim from Peter, and planing to run 30 tires on it. I'm thinking 32's will get a bit too wide, and I'm not sure I wanna waste 60€ just to try it. But I'm certain 30's will fit fine.
