UK

We had them ordered and paid for for about six weeks or so but think they've only just started making the larger sizes

That's very fast. Wonder if they use different shipping method to the UK. Mine was apparently shipped November 5th, but no updates on the tracking yet on any of my usual tracking sites, so it's probably still on it's way to a European hub. I'm in Denmark.

very nice color but man those wheels look just wrong

Lolz, they are only for building it up - waiting for some deep boys to arrive

Just checked in the status of my frame, and according to Chris @Velobuild they changed something to the frame after the clearance problems that Patrick noted with the SRAM derailleur. So that is interesting! Wonder if its the hanger or something else they updated!
So my frame will be painted this week hopefully!

Interesting!
Not planning on SRAM so can't comment, but the di2 battery placement on ours is now on a cool little aluminium cradle in the down tube and looks like an access port under the BB although I haven't opened it up yet.

@Pistonbroke Do you have the default handlebars from Velobuild? What size are they – width and reach? What's the stem angle?

Yes, but won't be using them as prefer narrower, longer and probably higher .
I think I got 380mm wide x 100 or 125 long

I'm going to use it with the Lexon Vero handlebar, and Chris told me to send the spacer in 3D so they can print it and send it with the frame. Has anyone done this before? The handlebar should arrive first, so I just need to design the spacer to send to them? It's not like a standard one where you just install the handlebar? @patliean1 do you make the drawing to them?

I'm not sure about the stack measurement.
Looking at the geometry chart, it seems the stack is measured at the height of the top bearing.
So (with the cover) the actual stack should be greater than what, 1cm?

Who would have thought brown could look so good? It's lovely, honestly.

Mine and at least one other I've seen on here have quite an obvious line between what I assume are two different orientations in the carbon layup, to the rear of the headtube.  Is it the lighting, the colour, or maybe some changes to the manufacturing process?  I don't mind it, but it's the kind of thing once you see you can't unsee.

BTW I also have the 'skipped leg day' look with my current wheels but unlike you I will have to stick with them until I can afford some deep sections next year...

Interesting, Chris mentioned that they updated that as well, so that frame might also have the update to handle the SRAM-issue? If they dont have updated it twice already

Yup, measured to top bearing on these

How thick is the cover?

I have a TanTan x38 in size 49 with a stack of 516mm, this one is already at 530mm
