Re: X-LAB RS7 Openly T700 frame, 8.5kg build, random ass wheels, random ass tyres, mechanical shifting with full integration.
It's ""cheap"", assuming shipping is indeed included, but it's far from a no brainer.
If you buy OEM and know what parts to pick, you can get close-ish (you ll spend a bit more), but it will be better. Very different work / time / sweat equity involved though.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I can conceive of no acceptable connection between price point and honesty. I don't care if the frame is $700 or $7000. Tell the truth about lead times.

Disgusting way to apply a price increase. Even if it’s still cheaper than the XMCS I’d rather give my money to Peter.

Does this mean all the other LC frames now have a “blank frame” levy against them or just the LCR020-D?
And at 2000$+, i’d rather hunt bargain opportunities at year end sales with Scott, look and others that will have much greater resale value

Re: Lightcarbon LCR020 35c clearance aero frame Complex Paintjob is heavier.

I love UD RAW Carbon Glossy. It is so stylish and it is the lightest and the cheapest. So why would I have to pay extra $300 for that?!

And if anything, by putting the LIGHTCARBON logo we are ADVERTISING their brand so we should actually get a discount if we are to have their logo forced onto the frame!

Question for those of you in contact with Carol or Wendy: has LightCarbon ever stated a maximum rider or system weight for the LCR020-D?
I’ve gone through the whole thread and it never comes up.

Weight limit information cost: $300.

Re: New TAN TAN Frame X68 Replacement I am actually relieved they kept the steerer straight, I think there is a lot of room for something to go wrong with the wonky steerer and I would prefer tantan to stay out of it.

Re: New 2026 Aero-light frame from Light Cycling

I asked Alisa from LongTeng if they produce this frame, they said no. Reason I asked her because I am inquiring about their RD302 which is Mondince's FM126.

Well I’ve just gone back to Daniel ant  and specifically checked this with him because of your post.
He’s adamant that the RF01 is manufactured by Longteng and says the factory designation is LTK266-D, with the FK266 fork.

I’ve been speaking to Daniel at Light Cycling this morning and managed to clarify a bit more about where the various frames they sell are actually coming from.

Daniel has a direct relationship with Longteng and has confirmed that several of Light Cycling’s existing open-mould frames are manufactured by them. Specifically, he says the RF01, RF02, RF04 and GF09 are Longteng frames.

He’s also shown me a recent delivery note from Huizhou Longteng Sports Equipment Co., Ltd. showing frames, handlebars and components being supplied to him, so there clearly is a genuine commercial relationship between Light Cycling and Longteng.

However, I specifically asked him about the new RF10, and he has confirmed that the RF10 is NOT manufactured by Longteng.

The RF10 comes from another factory. This is particularly interesting because, as I understand it, the same underlying frame is also being sold by TanTan as the X68, which is why I was interested in finding out who the actual manufacturer behind the mould is rather than simply which companies are selling it.

I asked Daniel directly who the factory is. He has said that, because the RF10 is currently a new product and he has invested quite a lot into bringing it to market, he would prefer not to disclose the factory at this stage to avoid creating any unnecessary issues.

That’s fair enough, and obviously I’m going to respect that rather than start guessing.

It does highlight something that comes up repeatedly with Chinese open-mould frames, though. We often know the companies selling a particular frame, but that doesn’t necessarily tell us who is actually manufacturing it. The same mould can appear through several different sellers, and tracing it back to the actual factory can be surprisingly difficult.

To Daniel’s credit, he’s been quite open with me about Light Cycling’s business model. He doesn’t claim that all the frames on the Light Cycling website are their own proprietary designs or that Light Cycling manufactures them. A number are existing open-mould frames sourced from established factories, including the Longteng models above.

So at least we now know one thing definitively from Daniel: RF01, RF02, RF04 and GF09 are sourced from Longteng; RF10 is not.

As for exactly which factory is behind the RF10/X68, Daniel wants to keep that commercially confidential for the moment, so I’ll respect that.
