Yesterday i asked chris if the painting of my frame was finished and didn't get an answer yet. But i just got the automated shipping confirmation mail from velobuild. Chris promised that they will send pictures after painting is done. Hasn't happened yet. As long as i receive my frame without any issues it's not a major problem for me but still worth sharing in my opinion.

Btw. is page 34 of this thread broken for anyone else? Can't access it for some reason but the other pages are working fine.

Yes, Page 35 has been broken - probably by an image in an unsupported file format. I pushed the thread several times to create an new page so we can continue this thread.

I ordered on 27.10. Yesterday Chris sent me a picture when I asked. Said it will be shipped tomorrow or saturday. Could've been a bit sooner (he said it would), but it's ok I guess. When I ordered from Carbonda my xc frame, they shipped it really fast (but it was without painting).

Wheels should be shipped today, Peter said. Got a picture. They sit at 1420grams (D50CU-33 T800, cx-ray, inhouse hubs, brass nipples). Would've been under 1400 if I went alu nipples, but I detest them.

Everything else arrived. I went with 105di2, but ordered lighter rotors, riro carbon cranks and ztto 32t cassette (around 230g). So i hope build would land below 8kgs. Will go with xtr pedals atm. And another thing, Chris appologized for delays and sent me par of bottle cages and spare rd hanger. I was just about to buy the cages on ali, good thing I didn't :)

Hygge model S or vb 268. Which one of these frames have better quality? Im planning to use r7020 groupset (mech/hyd).

Considering the weight of the frame (950 size M) and your quite lightweight wheels, woulnd't sub 7,5kgs be likely? Or is the 105 that much heavier than Ultegra. With your rotors and cassette I can't imagine it making much difference?

How much did you pay for your wheels, if you don't mind me asking?

Well yes, I hope it will land around 7.6-7.8 with pedals. I will for now use MTB xtr ones that are around 80g heavier than SPD SL counterpart. With my lighter rotors and cassette, and cranks (580g) group set will be lighter than stock Ultegra. But now I just want to build it, and waiting is one thing I hate really bad. And alloy nipples
