I have the RT06 saddle on two bikes and find them to be as comfortable as the Specialized power saddles I have on other bikes. I prefer the smooth version over the perforated.

Hello

I posted build specs awhile ago but finally snapped some pics. Thank you all on this thread for your contributions to making this a seamless build. I painted the frame myself in metallic purple - looks amazing in the sun but does not really come through in photos.

Crashed my bike , so decided to try the LTK266. Alisa was very helpful and said it would be done and shipped soon. (size L, transparent glossy blue)
Still a bit sceptical about the seatpost. It seems very wide and non-aero, and that bulky ritchey clamp is kind of a pity as well. Same goes for the seatpost clamp solution - not the best design I think, but again hopefully OK.
Ordered a 55R low stack headset and hopefully will 3D-print some adapters to get a nice transition to my stem. Going with semi-integrated with the brake hoses running open under the stem, was my plan.

Was there a STL-file for di2 battery holder? Went through the posts but couldn't find it.

The seatpost clamp has been problematic for me. I ordered a raw frame and painted it myself. The fit of the raw seatpost was very sloppy. I sanded the inserted section of post with 80 grit and applied an additional 4 coats of clear to add volume. Even then the 3 piece clamp did not have enough travel to bind the post effectively. My fix was to add a piece of .004 brass shim stock between the frame and the clamp effectively making it thicker. This, along with exceeding the printed torque limit to 12Nm, seems to be holding.

I know we're not weight weenies, but is this frame the lightest frame so far on this forum? (excluding all Panda Podium ones). I want to see the final weight of your builds.

Hello

Size small. Sram Force e1 with Red crankset. Light Carbon HBR 17 80/380 with tape. XM Carbon Speed 50mm wheels. 32 GP5000 with tpu tubes. Assioma Duo gen 1 pedals. S-Works power saddle. Computer mount. Zefal bottle cages. 6.76 Kg. I ordered the frame with no paint or clearcoat and it was 680g exactly. I am really enjoying this bike. It is about the same weight as the Wilier Zero 7 it is replacing but feels so much nicer with a more modern layup and the larger tires.

Any one been in contact with LongTeng/Alicia recently?

I placed an order for an XL frame mid December and got info to expect production in 2.5months.
It's now 3 months since i placed the order so i mailed Alicia begining of this week to check status of my order but i havent recived any reponse.

I just received shipment notification and a tracking number from Alisa on 3/16 for my size S. Just landed in Louisville today.

I felt this way about Winspace when I purchased my first set of wheels from them in 2019. Now that i have been saying it for 6 years and their media presence has grown, the name has become normalized and therefore, less odd sounding - to me
