Does anyone know if this person has posted on here? I've looked through all pages previously and never seen it, but this is the best paint job I've seen!

Does anyone has suggestions for a TT cockpit that fits to the Velobuild TT-023? I like the frame set. But the cockpit is not adjustable enough

You could look into the FastTT extender plates. I think someone here has used them.

You can buy the cockpit standalone from BXT.

I know, but it wasn’t available separately when I made that post.

Thought I'd create a database of sizing information so anyone who's looking for data to determine their size doesn't have to scroll through every page looking for peoples stats!

Anyone can add to it, so feel free to enter your info and add to what I already entered!

self painted incl. the decals

What frame is that donut one? Looks awesome!!

Just found this bar yesterday and I immediately want one!

Could something like this work with a standard round spacer setup? I have a Trek Domane SL5 Gen 3. I'd have to have the cable route out of the underneath side of the bar and into the top tube behind the stem, so might look a bit weird, but I'm not even sure a bar like this would work with round spacers.

I customised the decal sticker after ordering the frame in stock glossy black. The colour I believe to be chrome silver. It's much cheaper to do so (around 8USD) and I can regret anytime if I feel stupid about the name later on.

Can you share a link of where you got the decals? I want to do custom paint, but I'd also like to do custom decals beyond just a downtube name. It would be cool to be able to swap out if you got bored of it! I also saw someone else say VB did their decals and it was kind of expensive.

What is exactly your curiosity regarding this cockpit?

Curved basebar may be a little faster, but not everyone will enjoy the lowered position when braking (you yourself asked here for a raised basebar once if I'm not mistaken)

Monopost won't render a great advantage either (as opposed to the traditional dual post), marginal gains if any...

Bars are a copy of the ones sold with the bike. Difference being the hand grip, which can be switched to adapt to your needs. Again not sure it will be a lot faster, but more confort on your position will end up faster (you can stay aero for longer periods of time and save energy). Balugoe sell these for a decent price if you look for something  hassle free (won't need to switch the whole front end of the bike)

Focusing only at "looks", certainly will be a distinct front end...

Literally looks! 😂

It was a new cockpit I saw when perusing and thought I'd share with the class. Wonder how it might mate with the frame and sit in with the top tube. You're right, I am more interested in bars with a rise to decrease the drop to base bar positioning.

Wondering how this might look on the TT023

Thanks! Yes I’m in Texas, I did paid $52 bucks on tariffs/taxes, VeloBuild was upfront about it when I reached to them thru AliExpress. Once I placed the order, I contacted Chris and had multiple back and forth emails about the paint scheme. Here’s how much I paid for the frame:

Bike frame:$1,169.00
Extra RD hanger: $10.00
Subtotal:$1,179.00
(-) Coupon Savings:$100.00
Shipping:$126.00
Handling Fee:$47.00
Grand Total:$1,252.00
Tariffs: $52

Not bad at all! That’s making me want to pull the trigger even more! Where did you order the leap parts from? Did those get hit with tariffs as well?

Trying to create a list of what companies offer a tt/tri basebar with a flippable positive rise.

Winow makes one, but they have previously told me that wouldn't sell just the bar. This one seems to be available from TanTan/Seraph, but not sure if they'll sell individually.

https://tantanbikes.com/2024-new-free-shipping-carbon-handlebar-TT-handlebar-spacer-Aero-Handlebar-Integrated-Carbon-for-TT-Bike-p5546234.html

I'm hoping to buy the Velobuild TT023 but would like to have a basebar with a rise to offset some of the lower stack height.

Here’s a photo of the build as of today
I got the wrong bb originally, got the right one a SRAM T47 Inboard, also the ZRACE rotors where sketchy, so I got SRAM Paceline. I also got the LEAP components sram aero handle.
Thinkering on the hydration system since I’m using this bike for Ironman training/racing.

Nice build! Where are located? Any chance USA and you could share info on tariffs/duties?

Did I understand this correctly, that the frame tt017 is not shipped to Germany? I sent an email to 'ICAN' today but haven't received a reply yet. That's why I wanted to double-check here, and maybe there's someone who has already had some experience with this?

I think I remember someone previously saying they don’t ship to Germany because Stevens has the rights to the frame in that region.

Can anyone share pictures of how they are utilizing top tube bolts? Bottle holder? Top tube bag?
