Yeah, right. It's the 1036.

I guess i could alternately find another integrated bar with a shorter reach... any rec?

Indeed, just ask them.  I'd be surprised if they wouldn't want to swap bars on request.

I asked when I originally reached out. Unfortunately they are discontinuing the 1036 and thus only have a few remaining set of sizes that I would not order, they are completely out of the smaller sizes and wont be restocking them

messaged Wing. Unfortunatly this frame comes with the 1056 bar now https://www.carbonda.com/handlebar/chb-1056.html and not the 1036 https://www.carbonda.com/handlebar/chb-1036.html it used to come with? A little annoyed by this because the outgoing bar had a reach of 69 and the 1056 has a reach of 75 and larger drop... the shorter reach of this frame really enticed me but with that bar its now really no shorter then other frames of the same size.

It looks like Bonpensieros frame came with the 1036?

I wouldnt say its super aero, but it certainly has some aero aspects. Made some pics of a frame I have access to.
Head tube has hourglass, shape, the fork blades are also aero. seat post is round. Hope this helps.

Another question, what size would you guys recommend for a rider with 186cm size and 91cm inseam? Focus on relaxed riding, ultracycling races.
I'm torn between L and XL...

(what a shitty software this forum has :D )


I'm also in between sizes, trying to decide between M and L. Since I already have a 696 and purposely want something lighter and more nimble i think I'll go M just because the wheelbase will be a bit tigher and it'll be a touch lighter.

In all honesty though i'm stuck between this frame and the Airwolf yfr066. I like the more aero styling of the airwolf but i know and love carbonda so its tough to decide,

There will be a new model from Carbonda, the FM1136.
The geometry of the FM1136 is similar to the FM1056. However, some points are new:

  • it is lighter. T800 and T1000 fibres are used
  • the design is more aerodynamic
  • the chainstay is thicker
  • the fork no longer needs a fork crown.
  • BSA 68 thread. No more pressfit
  • still space for 32 mm tyres
My frame comes from the sample department of Flybike (Carbonda). The workmanship of the frame was awesome.
Weights of my frame (Size S) 1011g, fork (uncut) 502g.



Hey!

I want to pull the trigger on this 1136 but i'm a tad skeptical on the aero properties of the frame and the matte black pictures on carbondas website hide so much detail.

Does the fram actually have an aero build like alot of the modern road race bikes out now? Hard to tell but does the head tube have an hour glass shape and are the fork blades aero? Is the seat post completly round ior does it have an elongated oval shape for aero?

I really want my next bike to actually be an aero upgrade so just trying to enusre this has some of the properties of newer aero frames before commintting. Thanks for the help!!
