For those who are interested, I've added an update on my experience with the VeloBuild (099) here:

Sounds good.

I look forward seeing some pictures once you've got it!

I'm looking for a new project. Any recommendations for a light chinese road bike frame which is suitable for climbing the mountains?

Project finished! Did a quick 25km test ride today and my first impression was absolutely great. Will update on my experience again when I've done some more rides.

My VeloBuild arrived last week and I just got it built up. Its great, the construction seems really good. everything was precise and in the right places. There were definitely a couple little details that had been overlooked. For example, it would have been really helpful to have a shift cable race under the bottom bracket but instead it was just a hole. Which means that you have to remove the BB to replace the front shift cable. But this is at the end of the day a little thing. Overall, really good experience. Excited to get a sense of how it rides after getting a couple 100 miles on it.

Nice bike! Did they paint the seatpost for you? Didn't know that was possible.

I'm currently working on my R-099. My very first project without any experience. But so far lot's of fun!
