Hi all,
n00b here. I have just had to ditch long distance running due to an increasing number of injuries I have experiences over the last 24 months; aging REALLY sucks! C*cling has now become my primary sport and, while I do own a couple of road bikes, the best way to understand your sports equipment is to build/integrate it yourself.
So, I have been looking at a number of "endurance" frame. I had a look at a number of frames and the LT RD-301-D and the Carbonda CFR-1136 ended up on the shortlist. I am happy to entertain any other suggestions though.
I kind of like the Long Teng but there seems to be very little experience with this frame and some of the answers to my question from "Alisa" gave me pause regarding their expertise.
So, any thoughts on Long Teng or my choice?
