VeloBuild Carbon Fiber Racing Gravel Bike Frame
ForumChinertown

VeloBuild Carbon Fiber Racing Gravel Bike Frame

The VeloBuild Carbon Fiber Racing Gravel Bike Frame (Aero Grav) is a budget-friendly, open-mould frame inspired by the Ridley ASTR RS, offering an aggressive, race-oriented geometry. Key attributes include a T47 bottom bracket (86.5mm inboard), UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger), and claimed 50mm tire clearance (though real-world fit is tighter). The frame is constructed from carbon fiber with a proprietary aero seatpost and integrated or semi-integrated cockpit options. Weights vary by size and finish; for example, a size M glossy frame weighs around 1150-1247g, with a fork around 456-506g. The price is approximately $500 for the frame, with custom paint jobs costing extra. Delivery timelines were frequently delayed and poorly communicated by VeloBuild, frustrating many buyers.

GAScycle Nitrogen Aluminium Road Bike
ForumChinertown

GAScycle Nitrogen Aluminium Road Bike

The GAScycle Nitrogen is an affordable aluminum road bike frameset praised for its modern features and good ride quality. It uses 6069 alloy construction with a claimed weight of 1365g for the bare frame, though actual measurements range from 1285g to 1340g for a 51cm size. The frame includes a carbon fork (430g), internal cable routing, threaded BSA bottom bracket, 35c tire clearance, and flat disc mounts. Users report complete builds weighing 7.8kg with components. The frame runs small in sizing, with the largest available size being 54cm. It's positioned as a budget-friendly option for winter bikes, backup builds, or crit racing where weight isn't the primary concern.
