There will be a new model from Carbonda, the FM1136.
The geometry of the FM1136 is similar to the FM1056. However, some points are new:
- it is lighter. T800 and T1000 fibres are used
- the design is more aerodynamic
- the chainstay is thicker
- the fork no longer needs a fork crown.
- BSA 68 thread. No more pressfit
- still space for 32 mm tyres
My frame comes from the sample department of Flybike (Carbonda). The workmanship of the frame was awesome.
Weights of my frame (Size S) 1011g, fork (uncut) 502g.
-
A few pictures and some pdfs from Carbonda.
Frame is size S.
-
Some pictures of my setup.
-
Any idea on the status and availability of this frame?
What handelbar is shown in the build photos?
-
The frame is available. Just email Wing or someone else from Carbonda.
The size of the handlebar is 110*420.

Hi everyone,
I am starting to build a Carbonda 1136 frame and I am facing a potential problem. I ordered the non integrated version of the frame so that I can use a regular handlebar, easily adjust the front setup, stem length etc. in the future.
So I have two holes on the sides of the downtube for the derailleurs housings, and also an entrance and exit on the fork leg for the front brake hose. That is it, so I am wondering where the rear brake hose is supposed to come out.
I was expecting another hole for the rear brake with this external version of the frame, somewhere at the top of the downtube. So I am wondering: is it a mistake from Carbonda ? Or is it normal with this frame and the rear hose is always supposed to pass through the headtube ? In the latter case, you would necessarily have to use a semi-integrated type of headset (FSA NO.69 SRS or Acros is52 ICR if I am not mistaken, or the FSA NO.55R for the fully integrated setup).
Thank you for your insights!

...I was expecting another hole...
Isn't there an entry on the downtube ?
Like you can see on the black frame on this post: http://chinertown.com/index.php?topic=4178.0

No, there isn't any dedicated entry/exit for the rear brake hose on the downtube. I have two holes on the sides of the downtube : one for each shift cable housing (pictures attached). The rear brake hose enters at the chainstay and stops in the headtube.
-
At least for their mountain bike frames there are different inserts for those ports that accept two cables, not sure if that is the intended solution here or not.

Unfortunately I push everyone to go electronic ::) and never had the issue as a result.
You should contact Carbonda

Anyone have a comparison between this and the "outgoing" CFR 1056?
I do like the improved aerodynamics but the "old" CFR1056 seems to have a more aggressive geometry with a seat angle of 73.5° & Head Angle of 73° compared to this new geometry. Comparing the "Large" frame size.
