Velobuild VB-R-068 aero road bike frame: details and comparison 

It's looking really good!!

Indeed, very modern as well

Almost ready!

Looks great indeed!

Nice one, they had a great offer!

Fed,what size tyre and what tyre would you recommend for March-October (the drier months 🤞)please for the prime wheels,running on tubeless. Thanks,have a good weekend.Cinnamon bun maybe😊

@@richardcastle6169 I always had 25c GP5000 with mine, I believe they have the best transition with the wheel width. I would not go wider to prioritise aerodynamics

Then you have a perfect set up 😄👍

I saw that after, spooky indeed 😂😂

It's looking great, almost done! Need to just cut the fork

@@fede1275agree it looks great! An homage to the silver Sauber Mercedes Croup C Le Mnas cars would look great! Either way I’m sure that it will be a classy build!

I could definitely use your expertise here 😅

Yes, maybe the Melee is a little bit darker. I will keep riding 23mm tyres with the Vision wheels, they have a perfect transition with them as they have 19mm internal and 25mm external width.

I know, I haven't cut it yet, but it's supposed to be extreme 😄

It's great and it's looking very good!

😄😄 very appropriate!

In my case the red and white frame seemed to have excess material on one of the chainstays. The frame was straight and handling was not affected, but the tyre was too close anyway. The silver frame is perfect.

@@fede1275 Were you able to ever resolve the issue? When I had been speaking to support, they wanted me to sand part of the chain stay drop out but wouldn't clarify further. Frame may be straight, but if the wheel is sitting closer to one side like that, there's an alignment issue, noticeable or not (Assuming your wheels are dished correctly, which they probably are). Glad the newer frame is better though. I'm contemplating getting a 068 frame but still weary of getting another Velobuild. I also had major issues with shipping as they had sent me someone else frame originally and support was contacting me from 2 avenues, each saying to do something different regarding resolving it. Got my frame in the end but it was delayed, had poor QC, and overpaid duty charges due to originally receiving the wrong package.

@@ScottVanHorne I had the wheels redished and I got the Vision SC55 that have a narrow overall width, 25mm external and 19mm internal and I had 23mm GP5000 tyres. This way I could use the bike and I had very litte if any rubbing. Still it was bugging me a bit. Did not have a problem with shipping, when I ordered the new frame I asked them to check the width, not sure if they did, but the new frame turned up nice.

@@fede1275 In my case on the VBR077 I recieved, I was using Zonda C17 wheels (17mm internal, 22.5mm external) with a 25mm gp5000 that measured exactly 25mm wide when installed. I'm also a very light rider, so the bike isn't under much load, yet I still get rubbing. That's a good idea asking beforehand though as silly as it sounds. Gotta tell them to double check or I'll PayPal chargeback next time.

@@ScottVanHorne good luck!
