I am considering to change my Elite Wheels Edge for D50CU-33 t1100. Is here someone who made the same decision and can share experience with us?

I received my frame in size 51. Quality looks amazing. Full review later.

Very nice! Is it glossy black paint? How much do they charge for painting?

Personally i prefer glossy but i think that's just personal preference. I'm not 100% sure but i could imagine that dust sticks to a matte surface a little easier and a glossy frame would be easier to clean. Not sure though. My Velobuild VB 268 is pearl white glossy. You can check it out i posted it in the VB 268 thread.

Regarding my R088: I did another ride today. 30 km with around 500 m of elevation. I felt really comfortable climbing. When descending the bike was really fast. My brother rode next to me on my gravel bike almost spinning out and i was just rolling there comfortably. I think the 50 mm wheels play a part in that. The route contains a very rough segment. The strava segment is called "Höllenritt" which literally translates to hellride. It's a -7% descent over the worst road imaginable. Lots of potholes and cracks and overall damaged pavement. If your bike can handle that it can handle literally anything else. And i gotta say the bike handled it really well. The frame and especially the fork seems to absorb a good portion of the bumps. It still feels rough obviously as it's a roadbike but i never had the feeling of losing control over the bike. Really happy with the ride feel overall.

Also managed to take a picture with the bike in the sun, making the carbon layup really stand out:

Nice build!
How do you like riding this frame compared to VB-R 268? Do you feel significant difference?

Maybe it will help you to decide, I own one pair of Elitewheels ENT rim brake version with 4k kilometers and no issue, so I decided to order lighter EDGE model for VB. In my opinion ENT hub sound is nicer, but weight of EDGEs wins.

Thank you! It's glossy pearl white.

So, my build is done 

Nice job! Catia?

Using the rough schematic from velobuild's website, I modeled the integrated handlebar in order to get the real reach measurement. I guessed on the stack of the headtube cover, would be much appreciated if anyone could provide an accurate measurement.

Hi guys, here is my build.

What size of hole do they recommend?

Got my 268 frame last week before going out of town and just started working on it last night. Didn't plan on drilling a drain hole in the BB but after taking the BB out of my 177 it was clear that I needed one. Checked with VB just to be sure it would be ok and then confirmed it was. Drilled a small hole into the frame and carrying on with the build.

My 268 pearl white glossy is also on its way, hope color will be right

Hi Everyone!

New to the forum but I have been following many builds and decided to try it myself.
I have purchased the 268 frame too - it should be on it's way and arrive the coming weeks.
Chris has been very helpful with my requests, but it seems that the frame has been sent with a matte finish rather than satin as requested. Chris is helpful in trying to find a solution.

I will certainly drill a hole in bottom too!

I have the most "respect" for the internal cable routing and the bleeding of the brakes, guess I will watch some youtube videos to get it right!

For the parts, I will be running a mechanical 11speed 105 groupset, Ican Alpha 40 Pro wheels with 30mm Schwalbe Pro tires.

Will post some pictures as soon as I get the frame!
