Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: VeloBuild VB-TT-023

I got the frame this week, still waiting on components, but thought I would share some photos anyway. I went with silver chameleon, which doesn't really come out in photos, but looks nice in the sun.

This is with the top tube bento mount, it fits a bottle cage so its the right size I think for most screw on bento boxes. The top tube also feels pretty sturdy so I have no worries about that.

The brake mounts probably need to be faced which I'm not too worried about. I'm not sure if I should sand away the paint on the outside of the bottom bracket or not.

There also isn't really a great place to put the di2 junction boxes, sending 4 cables down the stem feels like they will get chewed up and be a pain in the ass when I try to put it in a bike box to fly with. I'm currently planning to print a small box to screw on under the cockpit metal plate thing and shove all the connections in there so I can have one wire going down the stem, which I can disconnect in the front. Sram makes a lot more sense.

Regarding the cockpit, it feels fairly comfortable to lean on, but ill give some feedback when I've had a few rides on it. It would have been nice with another few cm of spacers as last time it took me quite a while to sink into a decent aero position, starting gently really helps. It also lacks an angle spacers, the handlebars are fixed at 10 degrees.

The spacers seem to be this design:

I also ordered this frame a few weeks ago, still waiting for it to arrive. I also asked them to add some bento box rivets to the top tube which they said yes to, so that's an option.

Is there any way of routing di2 cables down the extensions? I was assuming that there was an exit hole somewhere at the bottom of the extensions but I cant see one

From looking around a lot of TT bikes are around 9.0-10.5kg for mechanical, so it seems pretty comparable to an entry level TT bike. Its pretty tempting to get one

Really great to see updates on this, the price of TT bikes at the moment is painful. I would love to know the actual weight of this and if you manage to sort the rattling / things getting loose
