...It doesnt meet my Stack or HTA requirements though...

Just curious, what are your stack/HTA requirements ?
Did you check the 1136 from Carbonda too, not radical, but it has about 10mm less stack and is a more recent frame than the 1056.

Did you end up buying something? curious if you got the LTK266. I have a place in the mountains, i'm tempted to get one to build something light w 32C tyres. Where i live is pancake flat, i got a LTK268 and I love it (1k km only though).

I didn't.

I have nearly all of the build components. I decided to have a handlebar developed as the final piece, put out an RFP for it, decided the cost of the mold was too much and then heard that one of the factories wanted to make a bar to 90% of the spec I wanted once the new UCI rules were implemented. I then provided feedback to help shape the design. So long story short, going to keep waiting to see what is out there until i can get a couple of sets of those bars. If i were to pull the trigger today, I would get a Carbonda size S /51 505SL and stick a 130mm S works -12 stem on it. I have worked out a 3d printed headset cover to make that setup work.

Does this geometry work? This takes more than 40C easily.

Lol yeah. If you don't mind the frame being a tad heavier.

Actually the new bxt frame looks good too. Rated 32C but should be able to take 34mm.

Or even the falath evo.

Not sure how i landed here again, but
LongTeng RD301-D in 52 fits the bill.
LongTeng RD301-D in 54 almost fits the bill.
I think their first 54 are supposed to be ready at the end of the month.
I hope some will build it, i'm very curious / maybe tempted myself. I'm a huge fan of my 268.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

I have the CFR1056 and 32mm measured is really the maximum you can run on this frame. More than 32mm would not leave enough space for mud and debris.

If the information that I collected is correct, the 1ü56 got an update which allows up to 38mm now.  Guess Carbonda could prove this information just by asking them.

I don't know, for me it's only rumors. I asked Wing the lady at Carbonda before buying and she said they recommend 32mm max. I would be surprised if they invested in modifying the molds or changing for brand new molds just to fit bigger tires. I bought mine last spring and I ride with GP5000 30mm measured at 32-33mm and I wouldn't go bigger than that. I have a 6mm gap on each side of the tires which is standard for safety.
