Endurance frame with 35mm tyre clearance
« on: November 20, 2024, 05:36:39 AM »
Hi can anyone recommend a frame that would be similar to a specialized Roubaix.  Room for light gravel tyres but good for long distance road.  Disc brakes and reasonably light.

Long Teng 301D. I have a 268 and love it. the 301 is more recent, lighter, and takes wider tyres. It's a chonky looking boy. And because their marketing budget is a grand total of zero, it's cheap. They OEM for Argon 18. I've built 2, very well finished. And i've ridden mine over 8k km this year, so i'm confident saying they make good stuff.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

I was really considering getting this frame, but I just can't get over how flat the top part of the down tube is... It just doesn't fit the rest of the frame, looks very non aero

Each to their own, but it sounds like you're describing a kamm tail design, which is much more aero than a round tube.

Have a look at the Carbonda 1136.
It fits 35mm tires measured and has a designated Endurace Geometry.

LTK266 - similar to 301D, but probably was discontinued.
