That’s a a pretty cool paint job, how did you achieve that effect?

I followed the steps explained in youtube videos.
It looks like you can't share the links here but the 2 video titles are : "Crystal FX Bike Paint With Spray Cans Only" and "(ASMR)How is it done? Crystal FX + Chameleon Bike Paint"

It's time consuming but it's rewarding to do it yourself

First of all, thanks to all people posting on this thread, it helped me a lot to choose the frame and the associated components !

I ordered the frame last month, this is my second velobuild frame (after the VBR-168) and the paint was a bit damaged after a while so for this one I decided to paint it myself.
It took some time to paint (after several mistakes) but I have finaly finished the painted part and will start mouting components in the next days.

I have already received these parts (I will reuse my VBR-168 wheels) :
Bottom Bracket:   Sram DUB T47 Road 85.5 mm
Derailleur : Rival eTap AXS D1
Shifters : Blips AXS
TT brakes : RideRever Triva
Crankset : Rival DUB 2x12 48/35 with powermeter (will remove 35 chain ring)
Cassette : Rival XG-1250 10/36
Chain : Force Chain 12-speed - 120 Links
Saddle : Watt Gel SUPERFLOW Ti316
Pedals : ULTEGRA PD-R8000

I hope I won't have the same issues I had with VBR-168 on the mouting of the headset.

Will post more pictures when fully mounted

I almost bought the Bike doc one last week but decided to go with a clip-on one as the Bike Doc one seems to be lacking some adjustements.

I also was in doubt when I saw the picture where the bars are mounted on the wrong direction ::)

Hi,

Also build a TT bike from that same frame set and couldn't be happier:

I did completely customize the TT base bar though, by cutting out my ow from a 4 mm thick carbon sheet, which brought the arm rests further forward and further apart. I also custom-printed two 12 cm high, one-piece spacers, as I prefer a much higher upper body position (and yes, I used extra long high-grade steel M6 bolts rather than the included, shorter M5 bolts). And I added a custom, 3D-printed aero-shaped 2-gel nutrition box underneath the base plate.

Best,
Martin

P.S. VeloBuild even shows it off on their product page now, albeit with an older version of the cockpit, using their base bar, not the one I eventually installed:

Thanks for sharing the pics, the bike looks amazing.
I am more and more tempted to buy this frame as I will be preparing for Ironman Nice next year and am quite satisfied with the VBR-168 I bought from VeloBuild.

mauwth would you mind sharing what option did you take for your crankset ? I can see you are using Sram Rival with powermeter and it looks like the cheapest option but the original chainring is too small (T46).
What is the box you put bellow the frame ?

Looks good indeed, is it blue chameleon glossy ?
I am awaiting a blue chameleon matte myself, I am wondering if I should have taken the glossy one but I guess both should be nice  :)

Hello,

I also ordered a frame 2 weeks ago that was supposed to be shipped already, hopefuly it will be shipped this week as I see that there will be a freeze for 2 weeks next monday.

I took the separate stem with handlebar, anyone knows which kind of computer mount should be compatible with it (I have a wahoo)

Thanks !

Apart from that, a photo of the bike under construction (size 56cm, color blue chameleon)



Your "flexed" handlebar issue is really strange, so there is no flex from the fork ? Only the handlebar ?

Thanks for the photo, this color looks so nice ! I am about to order the same frame soon and will probably ask for the same color, is it just blue chameleon or is there a more specific color ? Is it the same as this one : http://www.velobuildmall.com/products/vb-r-099-chameleon-blue-aero-road-carbon-bike-frame ? (it looks a bit different but that might be due to the lights).

Regarding the wheels, is it the lightbicycle AR465 model ? I guess you haven't tested them yet but if you have some feedback that would be nice :)
