Did a Fact Check on Veloce bicycles.
None of them were carbon Fiber Frames.
So far only alloy. Not even lightweight alloy.
So Nothing Special
You are correct, 6061 alloy is rather on the low end.
Like I said, they started Carbon Frameset manufacturing in December 2020. Will take a few months for production and exports to take off.
They serve volume markets in EU, not niche high priced products like your bike which is super high end.
How many people are dedicated enough to blow $8000 or more on a bike?
Right now we are giving heart attacks to some folks just talking about it.
But I believe
@padamchen was a bike enthusiast like you, don't know if he got unbanned.
Gotta make them in the millions in Bangladesh, to utilize low-priced labor value addition.
But they've come a long way from steel tubes, just a few decades ago. There are many bike makers/exporters in Bangladesh, but mostly they sell steel tube low end bikes you can get at large dept. stores in the US/EU with Chinese groupsets. Some are also exporting alloy tube bikes but not even low end Shimano derailleurs that I know of.
Only Meghna has gone into Carbon Framesets so far AFAIK.
Good for you. Keep it up.
I'm thinking to get me a Trek dual sport hybrid when back in stock.
@Al-zakir bhai that will set you back around $600-700 at the low end probably. I'd make sure the frame size fits.
