I also considered to Airwulf, but after easing about some quality problems and headset issues, I went for the 1136 yesterday.
Carbonda always had very good quality, never had any issues with them. it's gonna be my 4rth Carbonda frame.

Hey!

I want to pull the trigger on this 1136 but i'm a tad skeptical on the aero properties of the frame and the matte black pictures on carbondas website hide so much detail.

Does the fram actually have an aero build like alot of the modern road race bikes out now? Hard to tell but does the head tube have an hour glass shape and are the fork blades aero? Is the seat post completly round ior does it have an elongated oval shape for aero?

I really want my next bike to actually be an aero upgrade so just trying to enusre this has some of the properties of newer aero frames before commintting. Thanks for the help!!



I wouldnt say its super aero, but it certainly has some aero aspects. Made some pics of a frame I have access to.
Head tube has hourglass, shape, the fork blades are also aero. seat post is round. Hope this helps.

Another question, what size would you guys recommend for a rider with 186cm size and 91cm inseam? Focus on relaxed riding, ultracycling races.
I'm torn between L and XL...

(what a shitty software this forum has :D )

That should be the Vitus ZX 1  Evo.

Geotabels are slightly off, but to my knowledge its the same.

I found a frame from tantan cycling, which seems identical with RD301-D.
http://tantancycling.com/index.php?_m=mod_product&_a=view&p_id=1146

So this frame seems open mold frame..

Nice find! Maybe they can provide large frames, unlike Longteng...

Yeah and all his arguments are 100% empty, baseless statements and promises.
It's like a crack user doing tricks on skid row telling you he could be Elon Musk or some retarded $hit like this.
You willingly bought from a guy like this? Why? He literally answered none of my questions convincingly. Not one.

I can relate.
Answers are unprecise, not to the point and the crappy google translate wont help either.
Even I asked him like a lot of times and explaining, he was not able to make clear if or if not his shipping includes taxes and how much shipping is to Europe. Hm.

i just managed to retrieve the photos that seller took before shipping out my frame, and for me to pay the balance to him lol…

Looks really neat. Just out of curiosity, would be interesseting to see a legit OSTRO from the inside to compare the looks. That checkerboard pattern looks special, have never seen it on the inside of a frame before.

 Did you take some pics of the inside of the frame?
There are some quite bad pictures of the internals of the frame on the Aliexpress seller you mentioned.
Bought in the end the same frame in size 56 with T1100 carbon, according to the seller on AliExpress (for what it's worth).

Weights are:
Front fork (uncut): 452 gr
Seatpost (uncut)+clamp+rubber: 229 gr
Handlebar with integrated stem: 331 gr
Frame incl: bolts+seatclamp: 1069 gr
Parts: headset, spacers, compression plug: 153 gr

Total weight of: 2234gr
costs incl. shipping to Europe with DPD was 682 euro's

Need to build everything together, just waiting for some parts though.

Bought a Deda D-fork compression D-plug after this comment:
For the rest will I hijack this topic thread to continue the build of the same replica Factor Ostro VAM. The picture is just for indication of how it looks like, so I know there are no headspacers, etc.

The bottom bracket was not included, but alu axles were. those were 64 gr but I placed those at the wheels section so they are not in the frame weight calculated.

For the rest I have the Lexon Carbon crank and the wheeltop derailleur set. I will go for a 1x setup with a 52 chainring as where I am based it's quite flat.
Probably will go for the Elite Drive wheels or Superteam, I haven't decided yet

Carbonda 505 SL is below 1000g

Carbonda 696 works fine with 29*2.1 Thunder Burts:


12
According to Alisa, the 58cm frame will only be available in a few months time, too bad :/

13
Looks like some quite sharp remains near the headtube to me :o

14
I'd also be curious about actual images of the frame / bikes :)

15
Any new builds out already?

Is there a picture on the storage frame?
Couldnt find any.
