Thanks Christian from Netherlands! This was quite some time back and I can't seem to find the email communication between myself and the velobuild sales rep. Prob you can show him/her my bike and they might have the details.

They have 2 different versions 15 mm or 8.7mm, i think this is topcap size.

HI khairi-omar,
I want to replace headset. Which one you would advice to buy? the one from velobuild is not good anymore.

Hi Benorello,
I am currently using and have been using Token Omega and no issues so far. Other headsets worth mentioning are FSA and Hope.

Very nice bike, I am planning on doing somewhat similar with this frame. I really like the tires you have in one of the pictures. They have a yellowish stripe on the side. I've seen a purple tarmac set up with those tires and I am really curious which product this is, thanks in advance!

Very nice!
It is a size 49cm? (how tall are you?)
Saddleheight from center BB?
Nice paintscheme also! The black is unpainted glossy carbon and silver is glossy silver? Done by Velobuild?

Thanks! Yup it is a 49!
saddle height is approx. 680mm
And yes, I provided velobuild with the paint scheme and selected the colors. Black is not raw but metallic black with some sparkles and silver. All done by velobuild.

Hey man, i just figured out the size I needed based on past frames that I have ridden and compare with the geometry chart for the vbr022.
