Didn’t I say I have short legs?Happy to be corrected but believe the standover height is on the XMCS website, I think it's the Chinese text.Fine on a sloping top tube but where horizontal , like on my track bike in a 54, tube to nuts can be a bit close. I like to be able to stop and stand over the bike rather than lean them it to the side.
Thanks a lot! You have a Picture of your Cockpit? You are Happy with the bigrock? It's stiff?Yes I am happy with it. Plenty stiff for me as someone who weighs around 84kg.
What stuff i need to order for a Clean Cockpit with the ltk 266?One option is FSA no55r headset with Bigrock Skyline handlebar with FSA ACR adapter spacer. I do this setup on my LTK268D. It would work on the LTK266DSL.
I mean this!That is the Avian Canary or Falcon handlebar.
Transition from Spacer to stem looks a little bit weird? But Just my 2 Cents.FSA no55r (either standard or low stack version) headset or no69 (external cables). I used no69 as I have Zeno hydraulic couplers and this was easiest for me.
Anyway: i text via WhatsApp with Long Teng, to customize a the frame. What i have to Order due to Headset? Should i told them something specific? And Where i can buy later from Another company spacer, c-ringe, Headset, One Piece Cockpit, etc., that it fits to the frame/fork? And Where to Order Another thru axles? Budget for Headset, Handlebar and Axles Round about 400-500€.
Hi everyone, I'm planning to build up a new bike that I want to bring in under the 7kg mark (including bottle cages and pedals). I'm very interested in the Evolve Cima, but the price is still a bit of a deterrent for me. Are there any frames in the €1,000–€1,500 range that offer comparable build quality, feature a UDH, are similarly lightweight (in the 700g range for an unpainted size M frame), and offer custom paint options—as well as the possibility of omitting the original branding? My primary focus is on mountains and hilly terrain. Thanks Guys!https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6158.0.html
FSA ACR No.55RI am using this headset on my bike. Works perfectly.
Would this one work? It says upper: 52mm x 42mm x 7mm 45/45 and lower: 52mm x 40mm x 8mm 36/45

And here we go. Sub 6,2 kg as shown:Looks superb.
As of 3 days ago they commented it will be available in the next two weeks.I asked the Quanqin seller and they didn't seem to know anything about it unfortunately and instead just referred me to the gravel frame. I'll just keep an eye on Aliexpress to see if it pops up.
The only seller on AliEx that has their frames is the Quanqin Bike Store:

They stopped advertising their items for sale in the US, but available in other countries. I messaged them and they said they could do individual orders to the US as long as you contact them. Though prices are bit high for overseas shipping and I bought my frame during the BF sale at a lower price. I'll keep an eye on upcoming sales though. The frame might be available through other websites like Taobao, but I can't confirm.
My current Nitrogen frame has been a fun bike. One guy sent me photos with his frame cut by the joints and he plans to do an alloy lugged/carbon tube setup!
Gas Cycle is releasing a new variation of their Nitrogen frameset which I've screenshot'ed. This one is aiming right for the upcoming CAAD14 with high seat stays! Also it's been confirmed directly from Gas Cycle that this new variation frame will be UDH. The current 6069 frameset uses an RD hanger that's similar, but not UDH. I really think this company is worth keeping an eye on. They're doing interesting things with alloy and at affordable prices.Did they indicate when it might be released? Thank you.
On a side note, when I was building my frame I found the head tube and bearing cups to be spot on round. The company posted a video showing that the head tubes are all done robotically!
Thank you Simo and everyone else! You helped me a lotI'm in the UK and use this company.
So i already ordered the FSA ACR No.55r. And will order the bigger angled 45 degree bottom bearing.
If there is any recommandation for a good 45/45 52x40x7 bearing - just let me know - thanks
Did you manage to clean the wheels? When mounting the tires, I used water and detergent to make it easier to mount, and there were some slight streaks. What's the best way to clean it? It does seem to be harder to remove than, say, Elite wheels.Had similar issues.
