Where did you source the photo of the velobuild?
When I first saw the picture it said it was ChatGPT generated (ie. wheels and groupset). Not sure if that is true or not.

It was on a Facebook group, can't say anything about the validity but suspect it's generated

It is AI. Look at the spokes on the front wheel..

However if that was the new seat post design i am all in!

Neither the fork design/shape nor seatpost match the photos on the actual frameset on VB's website.

yeah, attributed some fuzziness of the photo to black parts on black frame on a white background and using a phone, but looking at it closely on a bigger screen, the details are all fucked, very clearly generated slop, just a cancer on modern society

Apologies folks, should have looked harder

Frame arrived on Wed.

Very well packaged, and all wrapped in that stretchy foam roll.  Haven't fully unpacked it yet - want to keep it protected to take to get built.  But I did open up the bars enough to look them over and confirm they are the 380/110 I ordered so very happy about that.  The finish that I can see so far is excellent so no reason to believe the rest of it won't be just as good.

Getting it built next week, will update with any observations on the build and some photos once complete.

If you could take some photos just to see the finishing/frame design I'd appreciate that!

Is this your frame? if so, how's the finish on the headset holes and bb? looks really good although somewhat far from the 1100g quoted by VB (for size M clear coat without metal parts)

Ooo, she's a chunky girl isn't she
Going to make it a challenging Weightweenie build, but will have a go!

You are welcome! It seems quite heavier than anticipated and without paint

Well, they say weight doesn't matter so much....I guess we're about to find out
It does look nice though
