Re: Any good bar tape out there? I have the cheap OG-evkin bar tape, and it's actually really good, and comfy.

Re: New frame: Longteng RD301-D Finally, I assembled my bike and had a ride.

frame and parts are following;

frameset(frame+fork+seatpost+headset bearings+hanger) : RD301-D size 54
wheelset : farsports waverim 4050 carbonspoke
tire : Schwalbe pro one
stem : fsa na smr stem 100mm -6degree
handlebar : OG-Evkin HB-010 400mm
groupset : shimano 105di2 rear 43/11
crankset : xcadey(include powermeter) 50/34, crank length 165mm
BB : praxis bb shimano T47 ib(for TREK)
pedal : wellgo mg21 flat
saddle : MIXED 7D max

Since it was my first time assembling a bike myself, I encountered several issues that made me regret buying a second-hand groupset, ultimately costing me more than if I had purchased a new one.

Additionally, there was a clearance issue between the frame and the crankset, which I resolved using spacers (1mm + 0.25mm). You can see the resulting gap between the frame and crankset in the attached video.

Apart from that particular issue, all other problems and delays were caused by my own inexperience. Nevertheless, I consider this a valuable learning experience for future bike maintenance and assembly.

Regarding the riding experience, I can't provide detailed feedback yet due to the shortened crank length (originally 170mm), roughly adjusted seat-post height, and significantly increased stack height compared to my previous bike.

But I can confidently say that it works flawlessly, and I'm sure I'll enjoy riding this bike for at least the next several years.

Highly recommend. Its a bit on the stiff side, but if you are small shouldered can put your body in a very fast aero position.

Bike Frame Index - My database on Chinese carbon frames Bike Frame Index - My database on Chinese carbon frames

I discovered this forum in July and have spent an intense few months reading threads and bookmarking information while researching my own (road) frame purchase. To make sense of it all, I compiled my notes and bookmarks into a database that might be useful to others, especially people new to buying bike frames from China, perhaps doing their first road frame build: bikeframeindex (dot) com

What it is:
A summary of my research comparing popular Chinese carbon road frames on here, Weight Weenies, YouTube and Reddit. Each entry synthesizes what I found across hundreds of forum posts about geometry, quality, reliability, and value. It's of course quite biased toward my own priorities, and i'll underline that I am quite risk averse, but I've tried to capture trending issues and recurring themes from community discussions.

What's included:
  • Technical specifications and build comparisons (index page)
  • Tire clearance, BB standards, compatibility details (index page)
  • Community feedback synthesis/trends, mainly from Chinertown threads (ratings page) with quality and reliability patterns I noticed
  • EDIT: A two-tier ranking, between frames which seem to have overwhelmingly strong feedback and other frames, some with mixed feedback or too few entries
Limitations:
Some emerging frames like the Lightcarbon LCR018-D aren't included - first deliveries are just hitting the market now, so there isn't enough feedback yet. I've mentioned the new Tideace frame, not more. The selection reflects frames with more history or community discussion at the time I was researching. Some models like the LTK 268-D is “bundled” within the VB thread and has fewer entries but some of the mentions suggest it could be a notch better in terms of build. To call this dataset statistically significant would be wrong, but the level of knowledge and dedication on here and other forums makes the feedback highly credible in my opinion.

What's next:
I plan to add more frames in quarterly batch updates as feedback accumulates. If there's interest, I'd welcome community suggestions for which frames to research and add next. I’ve not considered Gravel frames or TT frames, just because I don’t look for any. I own my dream build gravel bike so road frames was top of mind, but if the site seems to deliver on its purpose- helping others in my shoes, I won’t exclude adding other categories over time.

No commercial interests:
No affiliate links or monetization - this is just my research notes made public. I've added placeholders in the code for Google ads in case I bother with that later, but no plans currently.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts. Constructive feedback welcome. This is an iterative process, meaning that I've published a MVP with the ambition to improve on it continuously.

bikeframeindex (dot) com

Edit/updates:
Actions taken regarding feedback below, which is very helpful in improving the site. Focus was on the "ratings" page where I've scrapped the points leading to the ranking and instead created two tiers which are neutral amongst the frames. Some minor tweaks and typos corrected.
