Yeah I've a carbon oval rails saddle too. Just ordered a 7x9mm oval seatpost clamp replacement piece. cost me $15. Hopefully it can fits the oval 7x9 carbon rails.

I am interested in this frame, but have sent two inquiries through the website and gotten zero replies. What is the best way to get a price quote on one of these frames?

You can contact Alisa directly: longtengalisa@163.com.  She handles sales and is usually very responsive.

Never use the contact form of the website. I tried that with different manufacturers and it never worked, even if the website would say "message sent" or something most have mail adresses or QQ or Skype contacts somewhere on their website.

Still waiting for my missing seatpost wedge parts to shown up, been over 3 weeks since Alisa has send it out...

I did get mine.  When I tracked delivery of the package, the first one got stopped by CN customs, so Alisa sent another one.  Somehow, now I have both packages lol, so maybe check the tracking.  I ended up getting delivery in about 3 weeks after all that.

Btw they do have a saddle clamp for oval carbon rails.  But you can also find oval adapters on Aliexpress - the saddle clamp is the same as what I believe is the Ritchey one-bolt clamp, and those can be found in several different sizes on Aliexpress.

Now I can finally build the bike, yessssss!

So do we have any build or review of this frame?

[kwantani]

finally received the missing parts: seatpost wedge and rubber cover. Gave them to mechanic this morning. But got a call later about some missing parts on the headset spacers... sigh...

Are you sure you're dealing with someone competent? Headset bits on all OEM frames are standard, they're pretty much all interchangeable. I'm not a shop and I carry random bits and bobs at all times, like different height headset bearings, spacers, top caps, compression plugs and so on. Just building bikes means you accumulate these things even if you're not actively trying to stock up. So, while the seat post wedge is proprietary, headset stuff isn't.

[kwantani]

here's the problem, maybe some of you know how to resolve...

Send this to Alisa:

"handlebar are sold together with frameset from LongTeng.
Problem: The spacers from the handlebar and the spacers from the headset has different dimensions size and they are not match together. See attached pics, as you can see the 2 small knobs: the headset spacer one is measured 37.xx on the two small knobs and the handlebars spacers is measured 34.xx, as a results the handlebar cannot be joined to the headset due the both spacers dimensions are different.

手把的垫片尺寸和龙头 headset 垫片的尺寸配不上 手把无法安装。

Just want to confirm if you’re sending the right spacers for the handlebar that will worked with the frame headsets?"

Fingers crossed, I should be picking up the bike from my LBS in the the next 36 hours. I plan to have a chat w the mechanic who built it and get his take on frame quality, any issues he encountered, etc. 

I hope I didn't just jinx meself with that...

[kwantani]

What handlebar are you using for the build? I hope you've better luck on the headset and handlebar spacers.

I ordered Kocevlo integrated bars off of Aliexpress because LT didn't have the 380/10 that I was looking for. (I do think headset bits and pieces are somewhat standard so hopefully a good mechanic should be able to find solutions.)

[kwantani]

LT seems to know my issue and they make a video on how to resolve it.

Required to grind off the 2 small knobs using dremel tools.
