Dream It. Build It. Now It’s Real. | VHP X #19

Still a dream — or already a real bike? In this episode, Giacomo builds up the VHP X into a complete bike for the first time, explaining every step along the way. But this is not just a clean dream build. 03:00 Rear Shock 04:30 Cable Routing 09:30 Anti Rattle Tube 10:00 Seatpost 13:30 Headset 16:00 Fork 20:00 Front Wheel 21:00 Handlebars 22:30 Brakes 29:39 Drivetrain 38:30 Finished We deliberately show the parts that are not yet fully production-ready — even though they are already solved in the technical drawings. The final bikes will not have these details anymore, but this build reveals the last gap between prototype and production. The setup features the new Intend Rover and their carbon fork, using filament-wound tubes from CompoTech — the same technology used for our frame. Combined with We Are One carbon rims and 77designz components, this build shows where the VHP X stands today. At the same time, we are finalizing supply chain details for tubes and lugs. Everything is progressing smoothly, and first invitations to place orders will likely go out next week.
