Beautiful! Does handlebar include computer mount?

Thank you all.

I've find a distributor of FALCON MINI CLIP-ON (Stem Mounted). It could be an option...

Also it seems a good idea 3D printing a piece to fit the handlebar or bottom screws, but I haven't 3D printed anything ever. Would it have enough resistance?

I live in Denmark and bought from r2-bike based in Germany.

Thanks I'll order there, too. Did you buy one of the SRAM bottom bracket options? I'm a bit lost with some parts of the bike and its compatibility...

I'm about to buy VB-R-168 frame with integrated handlebar, but I haven't managed to find any TT aero extensions that can fit.

I like how integrated handlebars look but I need to put extensions on it to race a triathlon...

Any idea? Any chiner handlebar with TT solution?

I bought Rival Etap online not to long ago - it seems like delivery times are between 2-3 months. So not 2022. More like August-September.

Where did you buy it?

I would have a look at: https://roadmeister.cc/. Complete report on building his Velobuild bike, and includes his shopping list.

Few questions from my side:

1. Considered tubeless? I'm planning to go for the pro-one TLE from Schwalbe.

2. I would add foam liners to prevent rattling from the brake lines

3. I think you will need an adapter (FM 160>140) to fit the 140mm disc

4. Make sure to match mounting system of the discs to the rims (either centerlock or 6 bolt)

5. Bottle cages, rim tape, bar tape, tubeless valves ...

6. Start looking for the rival set soon, as all the Sram parts are really hard to find.

And finally, why not build it yourself, really great to do and will make maintenance a lot easier!

Thanks everybody!

I'll take your points into account... I've asked for Rival to local retailers and no stock till 2022. It's crazy...

About mounting it myself... I'm pretty sure something will be broken until I spend a looooot of time watching tutorials. A time I don't have by now...  ;)

Best to go with rival if youre on a budget

If only it was possible... No stock till 2022 for the groupset (after talking with some distributors here...)

Ive just seen this:



With SHIMANO-SRAM-WHATEVER crazy prices and availability, any news would be very well received...

Intrigued about the ability to put thicker cx/gravel like tires on this frame!
+1

BTW, It's the first time I buy a bike in parts and I'm planning to have it mounted in a bike workshop, but I'm not an expert and maybe I'm missing something. Could you help me? That's what I'm looking at:

- Whole SRAM Rival group 140/160 Diameter Disc Brake Rotor
- Elitewheels SLT 50MM * 29MM, RD12 XDR hub (with Pillar 1420 spokes?)
- Continental GP5000 25/28mm tyres (not sure, yet)
- Saddle (already bought)

Would you change bottom bracket? Would you change anything?

Any incompatibility, missing thing or simply advice will be appreciated.

Thanks! 400mm x 90mm bars

Someone on this forum pointed out that the bars seem to flare up quite a bit extending the reach more than they expected. I ordered a shorter stem length anyway without knowing this and have been happy with the fit. Bars have been pretty stiff so far and not terrible to wire internally.

Thanks! That was the option I was looking at...

Build is 97% complete as I'm just missing a couple of parts but took it for my first 70k ride this am! Felt awesome. Definitely a better fit for me personally. The bars weren't as flexible as I thought although they aren't suuper stiff. I also liked the curved shape of them and wasn't sure about them at first. Climbs well, very responsive. Overall very happy so far.

Nice build! Can I ask what handlebar size is it?

Chris sent me photos the other day, and they got nearly all of it wrong... The decals were were rotated 90-deg, and they didn't seem to get the right colors in the right place... I'm waiting to hear back on their ability to fix the mistakes, but I'm not impressed so far... at all.


Same here. I told him but no answer yet (5 days). I think I'll go for a color scheme from the web or paint it myself.

Hi everybody, another one about to buy this frame...

Any idea about which TT bars could fit this handlebar?
