I've been in touch with velobuild and the 099 is unfortunately out of stock . No idea if that's a temporary or permanent situation so I'm looking around for other options.
Update. I just got an email from Chris at velobuild a few moments ago.
The 099 will be back in stock at the end of June if anyone is interested.

More likely Workswell & LT Bikes are wholesale trading companiies that represent a variety of manufacturers that are all co-located in the same industrial center. Velobuild was originally a coperative effort intended to leverage quantity orders for frames from various vendors in order to leverage bulk pricing, but has since been purchased by one of those companies in asia, with the advantage now being that the company retained one or more of the original principles to continue representing the business here in the US.

I want a climbing bike with disc brakes and I have narrowed my options down to two. First one is Hongfu FM-008 and the other one is LightCarbon LCR-007D. FM-008 is an already tested bike with 100+ posts while I couldnt find much information about LCR-007. Question is which one would you pick considering build quality. Also I would like to see your LCR-007 builds if you can DM me. Thanks.
If I remember correctly, didn't Phil Gaimon used to ride LCR 007?Ozan wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 6:51 pmI want a climbing bike with disc brakes and I have narrowed my options down to two.

Yes, you are right. I have seen few videos of DurianRider about Phil and this bike. It looks exactly like the Nove Race and company doesnt seem to disagree. Even the geometry chart and sizing is nearly same and LightCarbon offers more angle/lenghts on their geometry chart.

Decided to pick up the 099 from velobuild. Interested to see what it's like.
Going to gloss clear over raw carbon.

Interested to hear why people are ordering the VB-R-099 over the VB-R-168 (which looks to be the newer aero model)?
Anyone care to shed any light in the differences as the specs seem similar on the Velobuild site.

Two reasons I ordered the 099 over the 168 this week.OlieSimpson wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 8:29 pmInterested to hear why people are ordering the VB-R-099 over the VB-R-168 (which looks to be the newer aero model)?

The 099s geometry is the Very similar ( within 2mm of ) my Cervelo's, so I know it will work for me with a slammed front end.
Reason 2. I like the look of it more than the 168
Did anyone find out about, or indeed buy, the Yeoleo R11 DB frame? GBP/USD is at about 1.4 at the moment which makes it quite affordable. I have reservations about taking on full internal routing as it seems to be a proper pain in the neck although I think this frame at least does not require hoses to go through the headset bearings.
