Hello all,
I'm looking for an disc endurance frame + the parts to build it around Dec-Jan. I want a slightly more relaxed geometry then a full on race bike but not a couch on wheels. My current bike, size 56, has a 560 mm TT , 170mm HT, 390 reach and i get along with it even after 10h in the saddle.
Requirements: - clearance for at least 32 mm tires, ideally 34 or more
- threaded bottom bracket
- seller who can send a painted frame
- not to be a brick
Nice to haves: - internal storage space
- included bar and stem, so i don't have to shop from another place
- UD hanger
- aero inspired :)
The budget, including shipping to an EU country is around 1000$, including the cockpit.
Looking around here i saw the Lightcarbon LCR018-D and Longteng RD301-D which tick a lot of boxes. Any opinions on the 2 or other recommendation ? I'm also open to get a frame from a more
"established" chinese brand (e.g. Elves, ICAN, etc) and stretch the budget if it fits my requirements

No opinions ?

This is a message board not a service; do your own research and then ask specific questions about build decisions, products, manufacturer reputations, etc.. I'm seeing a lot of these posts lately. It's pretty self centered to start your own topic like this. You can ask questions about a certain frame, groupset, wheelset in the respective, existing topic threads for those products.

Have you read the post or only the title ?
A message board is 100% for asking advice from its members, if you don't like it make petition for rules so new members cant post and leave the preachy shit for something else.

I think that what Klrdd is trying say is that a lot of new members don't make some research as a prerequisites. They don't take some time to read some of the topics and ask questions which are already asked in some posts.

The fact that i mention 2 frames that suit my needs should probably indicate that i have read tens of threads before opening one.

If everyone who was debating between two similar frames started their own egoistic topic....
If there is certain information you want about a given frame, ask it in the thread. Think of this forum as a remarkable information sharing resource for a pretty opaque and otherwise challenging-to-navigate area of the bike industry. It's been a great help for me over the past few months.

You have a terribly pretentious attitude. Go to a shop and they'll build you a bike.

Surely this will motivate people to help you :)

Have you taken a look at the Carbonda CFR-505 SL?
Or maybe consider the Mondince FM126 in this thread:

I love the look FM126, but in what world is that an endurance road bike?

Tx for the answer.
Didn't see the Carbonda, the standard seatpost makes it a interesting choice. I assume it will be slightly cheaper then the picks in my first post.
As Gloopann said the FM126 has around 2cm lower HT and has a bigger reach then most endurance frames, I could make it work but i hate chimneys.
I have my eyes set on the Lightcarbon (waiting for a quote) and if it falls through ill look at Longteng and Carbonda.
When it comes to paint quality and customization options are there any significant differences between the "bigger" factories that do B2C or they are all kind of the same?
