Re: Frame recommendations around 60cm. We bought a few different frames and other components from yishun, so the price was a bit different to usual. You can contact them by email and they'll get back to you really quick with quotes.

(My apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseam).

I'm looking for a modern carbon road frame for a 193cm tall rider (6ft 3), who I'd usually suggest a 60/61cm frame, with a stack height in the 615 mm ballpark. Rider is new to road cycling, so the geometry shouldn't be too aggressive.

So far I've only seen the the TanTan/Seraph TT-X34. Are there any other Chinese companies offering frames that big?

Thanks.

I am 1.91m had my bike fitting last friday with my Yishun R1058-D in size 59 with 110mm x 440mm handlebar combo and it fits me by 2mm in the perfect range with a not too aggressive position. Keep the setback of 15mm in mind so if you have shorter arms than usual adapt the reach accordingly. I had to clamp my saddle on the front limit.

if you want to know more details about yishun or the frames available get in touch with Kitty: "kitty.jiang@yishunbike.com".

Re: Frame recommendations around 60cm. I'm 6' 3" as well running the Airwolf YFR066 58CM which has a stack height of 614mm. 110mm stem on the integrated bar with 10mm spacers. Fits well to my body, but I don't know your inseam. I would recommend taking a look at that or the Carbonda CFR 1056 for similar sizing and geo

Re: Frame recommendations around 60cm. Hi, 195cm tall, 96cm inseam and full of understanding for the problem - very limited choices of frames from China, especially if you are looking at endurance rather than race geometry.
I have bought and built a Velobuild VB-R-099, if I am not mistaken the frame is also available as Long Teng LTK268-D, Workswell WCB-R-268 and TanTan TT-X21.

Seatpost setback is used to adjust your position over the cranks, position on the bike is then determined by stem, spacers and handlebar.
I like my VB-R-099, but the saddle height to bar drop is about the maximum that I can / want to tolerate.

Re: Wheelset suggestion for Alpe d'Huez what width tyres do you like to run?

i always go with farsports wheels since i've never had a problem with them. for alpe d'huez you could go anything from 30-45mm deep depending on how specific to climbing you want them to be i reckon. i like the look of the farsports hyper wheels in 30, 40, 45mm deep for climbing, or a mixture of 2. maybe 40 front 45 rear sounds like a nice all round climbing oriented wheel that could complement your d67 nicely, perhaps a 30mm deep wheel might be too specific and leave a gap in your wheel sets.

prob get them for 800 shipped with a dt350 and whatever sapim cx spokes you want and sapim nips. maybe cx supers for a lighter wheel if that's what you're after.

lots of good options out there though...

LEXON Road Carbon Crankset

Just received the LEXON R1 hi-mod carbon cranks today and they are really beautiful. Did a quick unbox clip just to show the item and weight, plus the accompanying Xcadey Powermeter which will be mated with the carbon cranks.

Seeing is really believing as the weight is amazingly light at 331/332 grams for cranks with spindle. Adding the alloy spider gave 372 grams. After replacing the crank spider with the powermeter, the overall weight without chainring bolts is 435 grams. Still amazingly light before installation on my TIME ADH23.

Cheers.
