The frame shown below is an example of their upcoming model. While it is produced by the same factory as the new TanTan X68, the head tube and fork design have been modified.

To me that's the part that's interessting, what exactly did they modify?

Subtle Differences.

I made contact with Jack from Mondince just to double check Light Cycling legitimacy and he advised me that it is their sister company, so I went to order one of their frames.

I have just received the frame I ordered (image on a previous post and see below) from Daniel at light Cycling and I have had a very good experience!

Pro's:
1. Good, regular clear contact - honestly, he replied much quicker than I could even reply back sometimes!
2. Custom paint job - see the photo, looks incredible!
3. Quick delivery (~approx 2 weeks) and no additional hidden import taxes/fees - was all included in the price Daniel quoted me. Packaging all very solid as well from the photos

Con's:
None so far

Just waiting for parts to build up - planning build of 1x groupset (maybe Lt-woo/Sensah) and Superteam wheels (27mm internals) - will provide images/review once all completed!

The paint looks fantastic. You're making me wish I picked two-tone for mine. Looking forward to how it turns out.

Would you be able to take a video to see how sunlight impacts the paint ? Debating on going this route too but with lilac instead of blue.

Also how's the facing of brake and BB ?

I talked to Jack about this relation of mondince and light cycling and he wanted me to make sure no one thinks it is a sister company. The owners are only friends and light cycling uses some of mondince frames. So two completely different companies!!!

Welcome to the forum. When you get a chance, please introduce yourself.   These days, when I see an image posted of a beautiful, perfect frame, with numerous names dropped,  I am often skeptical when it is a first post. 
Perhaps, it is just me being paranoid.  Apologies in advance that I am skeptical.

I asked Jack about it as well and was told the same thing. They're a friend, in his words, but not a connected company. He did confirm they use some of the same frames as Mondince/Long Teng.

As far as my contact goes Jack is also really interested in what kind of frames are interesting to western buyers. He asked me why i choose a certain frame and what kind of frames are "in" at the moment. He can also provide frames which are currently not listed on their website if something is intriguing. Although i think thats mostly frames from manufacturers they already use.

Just wanted to share a few photos of my new LightCycling Surge RF03.

I haven't actually ridden it yet, so this isn't a ride review. It was only finished on Tuesday, but the photos came out too good not to share.

I'm a race promoter in Seattle and wanted to build something custom using our race branding. Daniel Zang from LightCycling introduced himself early in the process and was fantastic to work with. Super communicative, worked closely with his designer to get the custom paint exactly where I wanted it, and then turned everything around and shipped the frame incredibly quickly.

The frame itself was also awesome to build. The carbon finish is immaculate, inside and out, everything lined up perfectly, and every component fit the first time with no issues.

Really happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to actually ride the thing.

It was finished Tuesday and I'm planning to put plenty of miles on it this weekend. Can't wait.

How does the bike rides... Any feedback?

Yes, very interested in hearing what you think since this appears to be from the same mold as the Mondince FM126 and users here had issues with the early frames being too flexible.

3.2 Realistic lead times:
Generally speaking, if the frame is in stock with a simple paint job, delivery takes within 10 business days(we respect our workers' rest time).
The actual delivery time depends on several factors:
(1) Whether the request requires special materials — e.g., a 12K weave finish, which has to be purchased externally;
(2) Whether new production is needed — e.g., out of stock, choosing a newly optimized version, or adjustments that must be handled during production;
(3) Whether the requirements change along the way;
(4) Whether the raw frame passes initial inspection;
(5) The complexity of the paint finish, which involves different processes;
(6) The complexity of the decals and their production progress;
(7) Whether the paintwork passes quality inspection;
(8) Whether the frame's post-processing passes quality inspection.
4. Quality Control, warranty & Support
4.1 QC process:
Raw frame inspection: visual inspection (bottom bracket area, head tube, seat tube bore), weight check, internal cable-routing continuity check, and alignment check (fork, seatstays, chainstays).
Paint inspection: finish quality check, color code verification, and checks for pinholes and dust/sand particles.
Post-processing inspection: a second alignment check, plus photo and video verification for the customer.

5.Warranty terms: frame 2 years, details here: https://light-cycling.com/warranty/

6. Launch Strategy

Our supplier, Longteng Factory

Is the Surge RF10 a Long Teng frame as well?

Do you know of any factories planning a modern trail geometry hard tail? I'd really like a lighter version of my Ragley Big Al or a Stif Squatch (my personal perfect geo would be 78 degree seat tube at 420mm, 64 degree head angle with a 130mm or 140mm fork , 500mm reach, 80mm BB drop and as short as practical chainstays allowing for 2.4" tyres)
