Carbonda 1056 - VB-R-066 - or something else?
« on: August 30, 2022, 01:22:44 PM »
Scoured the posts and seen plenty of advice on both the Carbonda 1056 and the Velobuild 066 (disc).

Is there anything of similar style (endurance, tall stack, shortish reach) out there that I've missed?

Must be disc, lighter the better, clearance for 28c & mudguard/fender, preferably BSA but not a deal breaker.

Thanks, Stuart.

Anything Carbonda is great. If the geometry fits, and you like the specs, I would recommend it. They are miles ahead of velobuild.

The 1056 is where I keep ending up at. Being new to the Chinese carbon thing the number of companies and offerings is bewildering.

Unless there's a very similar frame to the 1056 from an unknown (to me) manufacturer it'll probably be the one.

Have you check out Tantan FM629 and LightCarbon Lcr007?

I rode the 1056 for a while and can recommend it. It's a clear endurance bike, meaning it has a more comfortable fit and bigger tyre clearance (you can easily fit 32mm, with plenty of room to spare), but with a shorter wheelbase and steeper angles (meaning more responsive handling) than a gravel bike.

Quick glance at their sites and I'm not seeing disc as an option. I'll check them out on my laptop later.
