100% sure too for size 61

Had this response from Jack today : "We will not open this model this year. We will do it next year. I will keep you updated. Sorry for this. "

Everything about this frames looks interesting, but the head tube angle of 74 degrees in that size scares me off. I know it's a copy paste of SL8, but that doesn't mean it's good. Do you have any experience with similar frames?

Not at all, I currently ride with an old Look frame from the 2000s. But I'm 2 metres tall, so I don't think that will be a problem? I'm also thinking of buying the handlebars, but I have no idea what size to choose yet.

Wow that's such good news !
Thank you Serge for convincing them, I am definitely going to pull the trigger in size 61 !

Thank you for your answers !

I contacted Carbonda but they do not have the previous version of the CFR505 in XXL size  :-\

I didn't know Yishun but it looks promising in terms of size, although the clearance is 30mm.

The spcycle G068 looks nice too ! Is the geometry also adapted for road bike ?

Thank you for answers !

From the manufacturers I contacted I got the following prices for information :

- TT-X38 : 459 USD + 150 USD shipping
- LTK268 : 380 USD + 140 USD shipping
- RD-301 : 460 USD + 140 USD shipping
- CFR505SL : 660USD + 195 USD shipping

The FM126 seems perfect for indeed ! I contacted Jack because I was concerned the frame may not be manufactured in 61 size.
Here is the answer I got :

Yes. We will do 61cm size. This is really a good model. You should try this one.
We will refund you if we can not make the mold. But we will do that mold definitely.
Please do not worry the money. The money is alwasy safe.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for a carbon frameset, but finding one hasn’t been easy. I’m 200 cm tall with a 92 cm inseam, so it’s not easy to find a suitable fit.

Ideally, I’d like to run 35c tires, but 32c would be okay for an all-road build. My budget is around $500.

I’ve found the following framesets that might work:

- Seraph/Tantan TT-X34 in size 60

- LongTeng LTK-268 in size 58 (the LTK-266 in XXL isn’t available yet)

- LongTeng RD301, which has good tire clearance but might be too short ?

- Carbonda CFR505, which might be a bit pricier (?) but seems to tick all the boxes, the gemeotry seems to be a more on the gravel side


Do you know of any other models that might suit my size for an all-road frameset? Which would you recommend based on your experience?

Many thanks for your help,
Cheers!
