Longteng also updated their LTK266 model with T47 and UDH. Basically it's the same frame but for me (EU) it's around 400$ more than Longteng's offering. Also Alisa from Longteng assured me, that they're using T1000 and T1100 for 2025 LTK266, Tideace says it's T800 + T1000. Interesting. I will ask Alisa about that, to see what she has to say. Is it possible for them to use different carbon material for one frame? Could be. Few of the sellers even suggested me, that they could use T800 instead of T700 for a little bit extra price (for the same mold). Below photos of the new LTK266 (well, it's the same frame).

Alisa never said some BS nonsense about their frames and how amazing they are and please buy. She was always honest and open about what they do, who they worked with (obviously, to some extend) even if the answer wasn't in their favor. She seems very professional unlike some other sellers. Also communication with Alisa is amazing, she responds pretty fast, can't complain.

It makes no sense to make frame purely from T1000/T1100 carbon as it will be unrideable at least due to the properties of such carbon. No matter how much Chinese seller appear to be sincere to you, be mindful they will tell you whatever you want to hear.

Yeah I'm aware of that, and I was sceptical about the T1000 + T1100. I wanted to buy that frame anyways since it has everything I wanted in road bike frame. It's just funny how different the descriptions of the same frames could be. Especially on Alibaba, the same model from the same seller is posted multiple times, as a completely different product and it's made of completely different materials.

Anyways, new LTK266 seems like a good deal.

What is the weight of the Long Teng ? Tideace's frame is 740 g painted in size M.

The message said she said she used both. Which doesn't mean she said she uses only that.
Because I agree, afaik, the bulk of frames is using 700 and (or?) 800, and / or their newer mitsubishi alternatives we keep seeing, like M40 and the likes (just because it wasn't confusing enough already).

It's not on their website yet, they just launched it. It may take some time before they add it there. You have to message Alisa for more info.

Look at the image below, it seems like LongTeng is checking the weight of this frame for every order before they ship it. Some of these are with paint, and some with just UD matte or UD gloss.
