That is the Avian Canary or Falcon handlebar.

What stuff i need to order for a Clean Cockpit with the ltk 266?

One option is FSA no55r headset with Bigrock Skyline handlebar with FSA ACR adapter spacer. I do this setup on my LTK268D. It would work on the LTK266DSL.

You should be able to use any one piece handlebar with the FSA no55r headset, as long as the handlebar is compatible with FSA ACR spacers. Many companies supply adapter spacers for FSA ACR and their handlebar systems.

Thanks a lot! You have a Picture of your Cockpit? You are Happy with the bigrock? It's stiff?

Yes I am happy with it. Plenty stiff for me as someone who weighs around 84kg.
There are plenty of reviews and pictures on AliExpress.

Ah i mean a Foto by your Bike with the fork and handlebar.

if you feel compelled to do a 1-peice, i think purely from an aesthetics standpoint @klddd's build with the Tavelo Avro Gen 1 bar is the cleanest looking.

I think the avian Canary is very beautiful. What about the Rider weight Limit of 100kg? Is this only for Rider or Rider + Bike + etc.? The other Option is the avian falcon. They texted me, that i only need a FSA nr.55 Headset and nothing else. Their Spacers fits to the frameset/headtube.
Is this the right Headset:

Here's a shot of I don't think I have shared yet, from last fall, of the LTK266-D-SL with Tavelo Avro bars (130mm stem, 380mm width bars at the hoods). This is with FSA no 55 and the comparible spacers from Tavelo (via Panda Podium). It is slammed.

Hey guys, I've ordered this frame and am building with Ultegra 12s Di2. Haven't ordered tires yet.
I know the frame can fit rather wide tires but I heard wide tires could hit the front derailleur.
What's the max width tires that's been tried for this frame whilst using shimano 2x groupset?
I was hoping to use Pirelli p zero race rs 700x35 on a 25mm ID rim. I think that could get up to a 37mm mounted width.

You'll be fine with those pirellis. I run 35mm michelin pro 5 tires on 24mm internal width rims, which measure around 36.5, and they're nowhere near my front derailleur. I have SRAM but the clearance is the same as Shimano. Can get a 5mm allen key all around the back tire.

I have an eye on the lightcarbon HRB17 handlebar. Does anybody know, of there is Another way to Contact them instead of using the inquiriy Button? And i Like the rise of the bar, perhaps there are similiar other Options on the Market in Same weight category?

ULLICYC T4 ULTRA looks similar to Lightcarbon HRB17 in shape, but has differences on computer mount and how it secures to the steerer tube
Answered this already in your other post

but you seem to spread your questions all over...

I went through this entire thread and I think I will be picking up this frame. I ride mostly gravel but would like a road bike for long long road rides, this frame ticks many boxes. I intend to use this as more of a endurance ride and not a slammed racer.

Going with size a L after comparing the numbers on  with what i currently ride ( i measure 5.10 feet ) 

https://geometrygeeks.bike/compare/rodeo-labs-flaanimal-5-0-2020-56-cm,longteng-ltk266-d-sl-2025-l/ for anyone interested.

I was hoping to have anyone could chime in on M vs L sizing since i am kind of between.

Other take aways from reading:

1. Ditch the included headset and get a FSA N.55
2. Sugru for the holes
3. T47 85.5 internal
4. aprotobike for a seat post cover
5. possibly having to brake posts ?
6. as of 5/2026 I am expecting to cost 850-950 usd shipped

Anything else I should be aware of for a painless build?

Since you want gravel/endurance ride bike why wouldn't you choose Lightcarbon: LCR018-D over this frame? I am in the same situation as You and comfort/ more tire clearence/ aero/ maintaining speed in this case is more important to me than less bike weight since i will not use this bike on climb.
