Velobuild - VBR268 unboxing NEW BUILD SERIES
Question. Did he route the rear and front derailleur cables with the housing inside the frame?
Can’t remember now. That would be the way to go. Full outers
Hi there, looking to get a velobuild frame with this same custom paint. Would you recommend it? Decent quality and finish? Wonder if anyone may get sick of looking at it quick soon over a plain colour?
Hi. All my velobuild frames have been good. This colour especially got a lot of comments & compliments. Probably had the best finish out of the lot. But there was some defects. Have a look at my frame unboxing video
Did you sell it yet?
Sold man yeah
What colour is that you ordered?
Ice break white
I’m thinking of this guitar or the Kurt Cobain model and I also like that Johnny Marr model as well. I might get the John Martin and one of the other two.
Def get the Johnny marr model. This one isn’t that great for the money to be honest. Unless you can pick it up second hand
Johnny Marr version good for Nirvana too?
Hello! How tall are you? How did you buy a M? Now I want to buy one too
5’8 dude - buy this one. It’s for sale 🤪
Man why did someone key it? People are just vile.
Annoying isn’t it man 😕
Hi what is that rear light your running looks really good
One from Ali express! Making a new video on my AliExpress buys! I just found this on AliExpress: £13.08 | ROCKBROS Colorful Bicycle Rear Light Type-C Chargeable Aluminum MTB Road Bike Tail Light Saddle Seatpost Cycling Taillight a.aliexpress.com/_Ez27wrI
i have 32mm on my rear 30mm on front smooth
I was tempted to do that!
Class bike for winter. During winter months I find that mph drops but drips from the nose per mile increase,
Loving it mate! That sounds about right! 👃🏼 💧
Better than my summer bike
How tall are you bro?
5’7 / 5’8
I’ve just bought myself a new winter bike as well. Experimenting with SRAM for the first time, and also bought a new wheelset + tyres to match!
What bike have you got? I’m still at a loss what tyres to buy next! For winter at least.
Haha! Wouldn’t want to be on a club ride with you….. no mudguards for winter, how unsociable
I’ve got the arse saver on now! Luckily I’ve got no mates so it’s all good hahaha
@@Cyclingsucks😢
Winter bike… with no mudguard mounts, or clearance for decent sized tyres with mudguards?
No really into mudguard tbf
Yeah plenty Muppets the last 10 year wanting great times on strava over winter to impress other. friends ..clubs .
"Winter"... You guys have no idea what that word means. 😂
@@CyclingsucksI imagine no one is into riding behind you in winter, either.
@ we do, we just don’t live in an inhospitable ice-planet part of the world, and neither do most of the worlds population.
100% the right choice on the tan walls. lovely bike.
Except tan walls are slower…
Love the paintjob. 32mm tyres on SL6? What do they actually measure on Roval C38 wheels (21mm internal width)? I tried Conti GP4 Season 28mm / Roval C38 on SL6 and I thought clearance was a bit too tight (especially behind the seat tube).
Yeah it’s close to be honest. But all good. I’m not sure what the internal width is actually
Yaasss super Nice
The tan walls look great on it! I would do the lighter decals as well.. can’t see anything on it due to the paint job. I reckon you paid £1500 for it 🫣
Thanks mate. I like em. Yeah I’m struggling to find some atm! Just a bit more than £1500 to be honest 👀
It definitely looks better with the tan walls! $2800?
Yeah! Tan walls for life. I work in £ but less than that
The rhythm circuit is not useless, you can set you rhythm tone, then play lead on the lead circuit, then go back to the rhythm circuit again, it's very useful!
for how much did you get the sl7 for mate? also what are those cool sunglasses you are wearing ?
Haven’t pulled the trigger yet 🔫 But sub £2k pretty much brand new! They’re sun god Vulcans 😎
Maap rocks
What’s up brother @OB rides bikes ✊🏾
Whats the point of the Introduction as you dont anything about it haha 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I know hahaha I’ll stick to road bikes I reckon 🤣🤣🤣
@@Cyclingsucks Must say ive had hard tails and full suss bikes and the 930 scott scale is an amzing one !!!
@@moog37-j3b yeah I’ve no idea what this is. But I like it hahaha
@@Cyclingsucks 🤣🤣🤣
Can I check what cockpit handlebar/stem combo are you using?
The standard Velobuild one sir
Are those pickups stock? They sound good
All stock man
Сам послушал?
Biscuits
I found after riding my hardtail as a wet weather bike for a month I go quite a few PRs when back on the rode bike... Although my hardtail is 14kg...
Yeah the mix up of training is def good! Short / sharp bursts!
the chorus always hit me hard
Love that you love your SL8. I love mine too. I’ve had it for about 3 months. Best bike I’ve ridden. I’m in SoCal so not terrible winters, but on days when the weather is crap I grab my Crux. Great job on the videos!!
That is awesome! I really fancy a ride on a crux! I’m with you! SL8 is the best bike I’ve ridden 🙌🏼
I think the blue is slaying the aesthetics! You need a blue SID SL Ultimate fork in the blue crush colour!
I use my steel winter road bike with full mudguards. No way I can be arsed to get my summer bike filthy and constantly cleaning it
Hi great video can i ask what rear light you are using thanks
Hi mate. I got it on Ali express. It doesn’t last too long but has a usb C charger.
Hell yeh! If you ever travel up to bristol for gigs/jams (unlikely, i know) shout me, be cool to jam!
The black looks better than the tan walls imho
Good to have both & see too! Thanks bro
These Wheels are beautiful! I do like the black Tires. I think Tanwall looks only good an Gravelbikes 🙂
The tan walls on gravel/mountain bikes hit hard 👊🏼👊🏼
Yo, theres an updated Ridenow version with pink metal valves. I think v similar weight and the anodized pink will properly match your frame;)
I think that’s what I’ve got? They’ve got a little pink bit on anyway 🤘🏼
32 continental Ultra Sport at 50psi. Win wing mudguard, shoe covers.
Yes! The shoe / toe covers will be back on soon!
Not really a mudguard
Indoors on the turbo, dreaming of getting an SL8 next year hopefully working out is it worth getting the pro over the expert
I’m not 100% what the differences are. But I can def recommend building up your own. That’s for me I have to make changes to crank length & handle bars etc
Living in Brisbane Aus, my winter is 10°-15° mornings and sunny generally. No change needed 😂
Haha yes! Get the gloves out!
Saving up for a SL8
You won’t regret it 👏🏻🤘🏼
Beautiful bike mate
I'm winter turbo training at the moment whilst building an SL8 myself! The bar tape has to go! I don't mind the tan walls, but you need black bar tape!
Agreeed 🤘🏼 once it’s worn down a bit. I’ll whack some black on. What colour sl8 have you got? 👀
@@Cyclingsucks Gloss Red to Black Pearl over Deep Lake Metallic. Gone a bit all out with this build... Absolutely gorgeous - can't wait to get it built!
Take the damn pink handlebar tape off and change to all black. Supacaz is bad quality these days as well
Any recommendations?
@@CyclingsucksBurgh bartape is all you need. Since trying it I've never even looked at anything else
Lovely looking bike! If it was mine it would be in the house not garage. Forget weight and fit latex tubes. Faster, smoother and more comfortable.
That might be my next move. For winter. Yeah I’ve got latex tubes on my other weeks. I do rate them
Awesome bike I’ve got a SL six in the expert. How do you find the hyper wheels? And if you replace all your bolts and systems and that with titanium ones you should be able to get it? Seven?
SL6 was a lovely bike! This is quite similar to that imo. But feels faster. I really like them. But don’t have much to compare. I watched a gc per video the other day & thought about a bolt change out! 🤘🏼
Great bumping into you out on the north coast this morning. Awesome bike
Hey man! 🤘🏼 Yeah I love it! I’m sure we’ll cross paths again on the north cliffs! Nice to meet you
I have the same vivid pink sl8, it is so good. So smooth and comfy compared to my old cervelo s5!
So good! I can’t afford one. But I want another bike just to compare it to hahaha
@@Cyclingsucks 😂
Don't listen to people on UA-cam. Do what you want and like!!! Pretty crazy how some people think they can make others do what they like.
It’s all subjective man. I’m here for it. I like listening to other opinions. At the end of the day it’s my bike & I’ll get it how I want it 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@Cyclingsucks Yeah, it just annoys me mate how snobby some cyclists are.
