Hi,

Someone has build a bike with longteng  LTK-266 or LTK-268 frameset?
It is one of the options with Yishunbike and Speeder.
Thanks.

LTK-268 is the same frame as Velobuild VB-R-099.
There are some here in the forum who have had good experience with the VB-R-099.

Anybody with a LTK-266 that can share some thoughts?

I have a Velobuild VBR-099 with a Velobuild wheel set. My bike weighs 8.1kg but bear in mind it’s a somewhat heavy build due to various choices I made. e.g. 11-36 cassette, long cage derailleur, longer chain, 32c tubeless tyres, 160mm rotors (which require an adaptor bracket for the brake caliper on this frame), extra padding under the bar tape etc.

My setup is 105 mechanical (other than the Ultegra crankset). Routing the cables was quite tricky but once done it’s been absolutely trouble free. I love this bike and I’d by another one any day of the week! If I recall correctly, it was delivered to the UK in about a week from ordering which was a pleasant surprise. Some people find the bars a little too flexy but for me they're great and they absorb road vibrations nicely. If you're doing a lot of hard sprints out of the saddle, I guess you might not like them so much.

Lol that really looks like the same bike!

I’d assumed these frames that get sold by multiple companies in China are all actually manufactured in the same factory but perhaps I’m mistaken? Certainly the inside of my frame was also super clean as expected for an EPS frame.

I have a Velobuild VB-R-099 and I can confirm I am very pleased with how it rides.
Main reason I bought it: with 1,95cm height and 96cm inseam there are not a lot of Chinerframe choices unless you accept heavy saddle to bar drop.
However, and the forum is full of Velobuild, headset play and how to fix it, I struggled until it was set up properly.

Long Tenk LTK268-D, Workswell WCB-R-268, TanTan TT-X21 and Velobuild VB-R-099 are "the same" frame.
Still curious to hear from Long Tenk LTK266-D users (lighter frame, more stack, among a few other differences) - anyone?

I contacted to LT about 266 frameset and they informed me that they are not manufacturing size 54 frameset due to not enough orders.
