Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame
« on: November 10, 2021, 08:57:35 AM »
hey guys!
i am really looking into a 168 for my new bike. But I want to be sure it's the right one for me.
I want an 'allroad' like frame, so I'd like room for bigger tires. Anybody tried 35c on they 168 ?
Also I don't like the weight and non adjustability of their handlebars. Do you think I can run an FSA 069 'SRS' headset, to have an almost full integration, with the ability of tweaking everything if I feel like it. (I attached a picture of the routing). I saw somebody do the same with their carbonda fm1056.
Of course if you see a better option that fits my criteria I'm open (road-ish geo, fits up to 35c (measured size), good cable integration (for bikepacking purposes) and good weight.
I'll keep you updated on my purchase!
