Re: Trustworthy and decent producers for endurance and aero frames There's a thread here regarding LCR017D. Yes there might be some issues but customer support is superb. Though of course, some members don't like the design of the down tube but most members have positive experience. Here's the thread if you want to read some reviews.

Re: Trustworthy and decent producers for endurance and aero frames I have ordered and am waiting on delivery of XM Carbon Speed R01 in a large.  Went with Peter and XMCS due to his reputation with products and the fit of the frame for me.

Re: Trustworthy and decent producers for endurance and aero frames You may also try to look at Speeder/Adapt. They seem to be solid frame manufacturers. Also try to get in touch with LongTeng.

Re: Trustworthy and decent producers for endurance and aero frames Adapt would be interesting, and then you would be able to offer something that people would have a harder time giving you a hard time on price for.

I still haven't ridden it, but the LTK 266 D SL looks really impressive in person and is very light--though its not either an endurance or aero frame but a lightweight race bike that clears 35s. They would also need to open an extra-large mold for you, but I am guessing the bulk pricing on this frame would be very good.

One potential business angle for you with the LTK 266 D SL is to use the frame as a canvas for truly custom builds that are bundled with a bike fit. Because it's got really good headset compatibility, parts you already likely carry in your shop, like Token / Chris King / Enve, Deda, and FSA headsets, stems, and bars can all be made to fit. You can replace their saddle hardware with Ritchey hardware. Creating molds for custom bars or even seat posts may also be an investment you can make to further differentiate the frame, rather than owning the frame mold.

Are Carbonda and QuickPro the same?

Yes. I think a smaller B2B customer Carbonda is probably the right channel.
