So it looks, that is not heavier just the 24mm titan version, but also new V2 alu 28,99 version. Ordered on monday 11.11. 172,5mm DUB alu version, so I'm wonder what arrive in the package.
As for price, ordered with pwm from Lexon official store and used 80$ Aliex. coupon, so final was 148$ for crankset alone, but waiting if it will be catch by customs  :) (I am from EU)
what is the total price included the power meter? did you buy the shimano compatible one?

Looks quite a bit like my LT268. Both the 268 I built had BB holes the right size too... You can get Oak decals for ten euro if you like trees. Got my tractor logo for that much.
Did you get your stickers from AliExpress?
Do you have a store to suggest?

hahaha please tell me you re going to use nicer wheels than this. I dont actually like pinarello or what they stand for, but i do respect their commitment to design and what not, and your combo here is just wrong :p
As I said,if ride good,new wheels will be installed
At least is a budget build

Situation improved by shortening the rear brake cable guide.
Here is my built
Frame: Velobuild 218 XXL rim brake ,120/42 handlebar
Brakes Shimano Ultegra r8000
Shifters ,front & rear derailleur Shimano 105 r7000 11 speed
Crank set Shimano 105 r7200
Chain kmc
Cassette zitto Ultralight 11-34
Dtswiss 460 rim with Shimano 105 hub
The majority of components were recycled ,the scope of the build was keep the price lowest as possible
Final weight 8.6 kg for less than 1000€ (also considering the price of the stuff take from old projects)
If the bike ride as it looks I will change the wheels whit a carbon pair,maybe elite edge or boty or scribe (looking for inner rim wider then 20mm)

P.s. the handlebar tape will be changed with a black one

That looks right if its the VB frame... I got 6 of them at the time of purchuse... just in case.

Who did you get the frame from? and how much?
I purchased the frame from velibuil,size XXL rim brake.
Chris informed me that was the last one.
The price is listed on their website (frame+paint job+ shipping 500€)
I don't understand part of the derailleur hanger ,is the same of the Pinarello One?

Frame arrived, 3 weeks from order to delivery with custom colour.
All the component were well protected and the paint job is ok.
All small parts included (ex. Garmin mount support)
The only part exposed was the derailleur ha ger that is now bent.
Anyone know if the Pinarello f derailleur hanger is compatible with vbr 218 frame?
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!

I use this frame (labelled as Müsing Aviator), and ride with tires that measure 32mm. There's still more than enough clearance, and a bit wider tires would be possible.
So maybe there is chance to find the supplier in the far West

Anyone know any other options?
It seems like bikes have become so porky in the past 5 years. I remember about 10 years ago it was pretty easy to get a frame that was around 700g-ish. 
Been wanting to build a weight weenie for a while...even the "ultralight" Vanyar Pro is 900g!   :o
Bigrock from Panda podium could be interesting
