Do you write these replies with AI? It is very obvious and hilarious. May 07, 2025, 03:16:23 AM |

Re: LTK266-D-SL, race frame, 680g, <800g w/paint & metal parts (M), fits 35mm+ tires
exactly my sentiment, i hesitated to spend money so far and after reading all the problems people have its not worth it. Here in Europe I can get a brand new Cube Nuroad Frame for 900 Euro. Funny seeing this on a long teng thread, given they OEM for Cube... May 14, 2026, 05:24:01 AM |

Re: Dogma F replica frame
Buy an F5 from the local dealer that ought to be a fake, because putting Elite wheels and 105 on a Dogma is like dating an ugly chick while driving a Ferrari: what's the point of the Ferrari then? July 17, 2026, 05:02:15 AM |

Re: LTK266-D-SL, race frame, 680g, <800g w/paint & metal parts (M), fits 35mm+ tires
Hello, I have just ordered this frame in matte black with glossy black accents. I would love to personalize it with my own custom gold logo, similar to the example shown in the photo. I was wondering if these kinds of logos are typically made from die-cut vinyl using a cutting plotter like a Cricut Joy or Silhouette Cameo? Vinyl Selection: Which type of vinyl is best suited for this application? Is cast vinyl (e.g., Oracal 751 or 951) the right choice for a bicycle frame? Design & Application: Are there specific things I should keep in mind during the designing, cutting, and application process? Aesthetics: Does anyone have experience applying metallic gold or brushed gold vinyl onto a matte black frame? Protection: Is it recommended to protect the decals afterward with a layer of transparent frame protection film? Any tips, personal experiences, or photos of similar projects are more than welcome. Once I receive the XXL frame, I will post some photos of the build process. Perhaps by then, some of you will have additional tips for designing and applying the gold logos. Thanks in advance!

Re: LTK266-D-SL, race frame, 680g, <800g w/paint & metal parts (M), fits 35mm+ tires
So I finally got my first 300km in, and I love the bike, it’s nice and fast & light and got good tire clearance. Got it mostly for the tire clearance, then decided I wanted to make it light on a budget aswell. Building it was a little bit difficult, mostly the brake hoses & headset stuff I found really difficult. But it rides well, and I trust it now. Here is a parts list with prices & weights (if no price it was included with the parts above): Frame LTK266D SL Ice crack blue €930 950g Fork LTK266D SL 344g Seatpost LTK266D SL 158g Red D1 cranks (2ndhand) €143 347g Force E1 shifters (2ndhand) €590 407g Force E1 brakes with hose 294g Red D1 rd 302g Force E1 flattop €35 245g rival Xg1250 10-30 €44 283g Kore cyclone wheelset €358 1191g FSA no55r headset €42 gemini rigel 46t €116 99g michelin power pro 35 €68 786g brake disc iiipro €21 240g kalloy uno stem 120mm €17 116g rxl sl hb 38cm c-c 77mm reach €40 215g ztto t47 dub 14 95 saddle RYET 143 €58 165g og evkin computer mount €12 25g spd xt pedals €57 340g fsa to external routing adapter €20 10g kocevlo fsa spacers €5 18g stans 40ml front 50ml rear 90g cyclami valves €5 12g Weight 6.8-6.9kg Frame was a bit heavier than expected, but it’s still good for XXL size and custom paint. Will upgrade the pedals to faveros as soon as I get road shoes. Tested on a bit of gravel already and is faster on cat1 gravel than my gravelbike. 46-30 was a bit too difficult for my local climbs, might have to get a 10-33, was planning on upgrading to Red anyway. All in all I’m pretty happy, similar spec as 8 grand bikes in the bike shop, for about €2700. August 04, 2026, 06:19:26 AM |
