Great service from Velobuild on this. Offered me compensation or replacement. Went with the replacement as I felt I wouldn’t have confidence braking knowing there is resin missing on the brake mount.About the missing grommet for the fork brake cable exit, what did you do? Have you found one that fits or is it clean to leave it without?
Replacement just arrived and looks good.
The bike has now 500 km, I find it very comfortable with the 30mm tires. I left a couple of extra spacers, at least one will be removed.
The final weight is around 7.4 kg without pedals.
Next upgrade the wheels, at least 50mm
I had mine made with no logos at all and just stuck some “S-Works” decals on it — much to the disgust of a few other forum usersMight be a little bit OT and I don't want to sound confrontational, but could you explain to me the allure of putting these decals on your frame? I truly struggle to understand if it is to look cool or to pretend to have the real deal or something else entirely. I personally am more than ok with buying a frame that takes inspiration from others as long as it is generic looking enough (not Dogma or SL8 or Madone for example, but a Factor or an SL7 or other less conspicuous frames might look the same as dozens others) and personalize it with my own decals, but when the frame is one of a kind I would either get the real one or else I would feel like I'm just trying to impress, especially with such high priced originals.

Pretty sure Troy wrote that the colour scheme is called ass crack bandit.Sure, but is it a red ass crack, a pink ass crack, or is it another shade than these two?
Build is pretty much done. Not too many new parts as everything has been moved over from my VB-R-177 build.Hi Hazzer, did you paint it with Velobuild? And do you by any chance still have the color scheme (pantone or whatever) for it? I am also trying to come up with a similar color scheme, albeit adding some white here and there, and it would be super helpful to get an idea about what these colors look on the bike with respect to the catalogue
Haven't had a chance to take it out for a long spin but general impressions so far based on a short coffee ride:
- Stiffer than the 168 and as stiff as the 177 but more aero (not sure I noticed the more aero part haha)
- Zero offset seat tube is really going to help my personal fit
- Saddle clamping system worked really well and easy to adjust. Extra fittings for carbon rail saddles was great to have included.
- Mavic Speed release style axles are going to take a little getting used to. May need a dedicated axle for the trainer to make things easier to take on and off.
- Overall no issues with the build, ended up drilling a hole in the bottom of the BB area to drain water. Also had to drill out the metal FD cable stop to fit Di2 wire
- New HB-010 integrated bars that came with the frame feel much stiffer than the original ones I had with the wedge tightening system instead of standard two bolt
Just needs some bar tape and maybe some decals and should be ready.
They actually hide some models.Nope, I created it to see what they were hiding and still kept denying me access to these frames while only presenting the same ones everyone can see...
It'clearly reported on the web site

Not quite sure what you mean by external and internal button, but here's a photo of the new "v3" eR9 shifter from a set that I just got. Apologies for the cling film.This answers exactly my question, ty. I meant that the shifting button closer to the lever is taller than the other one, while in the first version they were level at the top.
On the erx the usb-c port is on FD. I haven't seen anywhere er9 new version. Where did you collect that info?I corrected it, knew it was in front but wrote R by mistake! Question stands
