Anyone has experience with this Ti outfit called Hang Lun? http://www.tibicycle.com/
Their design seems to be more refined then the standard ti outfits...

Nice looking bike. What's the build specs? Looks like a mix of shimano and chinese parts?

Final finished build, but not without hiccups. Seller send the wrong fork, they send me road instead of gravel fork, can only took up to 700x30 tires. They admit the mistake and going to rush me a gravel one. Not very knowledgeable nor professional as a bike seller. The outfit is more like a titanium parts/products shop instead of a dedicated "bike" shop. They're still learning though have to give them credit for that. I decided to go ahead and finish the build and ride it the way it is with 700x28 Gravel King tire in the front, til the new gravel fork arrived.

I'm generally happy with the frameset workmanship and finished build. Let's see how it rides.....

LBS reported at the middle of the right chain stay has some obstruction preventing the cable housing from routing thru, I think it's similar problem. I'm not a very mechanical skilled person. Let me suggest they try that.

x2 ^^, or a metal coat hanger, or old shift cable wire?

My CX-002 had a very small opening for the rear shift cable, such that I couldn't push the foam cable housing insulation further than about half way down the chain stay.  I think the cavity got smaller to only allow a cable housing.  I pushed the rear shift housing from the rear of the bike to the front, so that that made it a little easier, so maybe the LBS can do that?

Has anyone successfully build up the Velobuild GF003? I received mine last month, however the LBS indicated there's an obstruction inside the frame preventing the internal cable housing to get thru, I've no other details other than what they said.

Geometry etc looks like exact like Wilier Jena, except with T47BB rather than pressfit.
In talks with them to try to order one to update / replace the GR029 I'm on.

Have you received the frameset? I received my Velobuild GF-003 which is the identical GR029 and the LBS reported there's an obstruction in the frame preventing the cable housing from getting through. Wonder are you building up mechanical group or e-group? Are you running into similar problem?

Hi new here, my 2nd post.
Received a Velobuild GF-003, LBS try to build it. They reported there's an obstruction in the frame that is preventing them from running the housing through. Still try to get more details from them.

Has anyone worked on the GF-003? what problems you're encountering building up?

Hi first time posting here...

I just picked from their standard geometry size S.
https://k-whale.en.alibaba.com/ they also has Aliexpress presence.

shipping box almost break into 2, scary. But all is well, workmanship is decent given the price point.
