do you use the seatpost cover from another bike or did velobuild finally update theirs?

I've used a seatpost cover bought from Aliexpress. The one supplied by Velobuild is longer in the back, not so nice to see...

I'm really proud to show you my latest build:

Frame: Velobuild 268 size 54, color: Ice break red fade to black
Bar/stem: Velobuild integrated 110/420 mm
Saddle: RXL Carbon saddle
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8170, 50/34 - 11-30. 172,5 mm
Wheels: Farsport Feder 45 mm 28 mm external
Tyres: Continental Ultra Sport III 700x28 mm
Tubes: RideNow TPU 36g

Weight 7,3 kg with Garmin support and bottle cages, w/o pedals. 

I am very happy with the result, considering that this is my first assembly of a bicycle with an electronic groupset and hydraulic brakes. I didn't have any particular problems during assembly, apart from a little worry when cutting the brake lines to length.
I covered 120+ km over the weekend and everything went smoothly: the bike responds very well to stress and is stiffer than my VB 168.

Hi guys,

I'd like to know if someone is using a saddle with full carbon rails: in this case what kind of seatpost clamp are you using?

The standard one with the VB-R-168 seatpost is not designed to be used with full carbon rails.

Thanks, Luca
