Thinking about the same frame, what tire width are you running and how's the clearance?

Dengfu sells the R01 ultralight which is the successor of the fm066 superlight. It's a classic frame with great handling

I actually just recently purchased and received the frame from Dengfu as well. Originally I was going for the R01 with BSA but apparently they didn't have one in stock in my size (54cm), though it was after they had confirmed availability through initial emails and I had already submitted payment. However, they did end up offering me a fm066sl with bb30 in 54cm which is what I ended up with. It didn't sound like to me that they had much more in stock though.

I also asked Dengfu regarding the missing delete plate, they said they still have them in stock but quoted me an additional $20 for shipping... :?

Needless to say, my experience with them so far has not been the best.

On another note, I'm glad you posted this thread Maddie - it's actually one of the best ones I've come across for this frame and really solidified my decision in going with it in the end. :thumbup:

Hi Maddie! That's a nice weight! Could you pls share the size of your frame?

And also. I'm not a very long-time lurker yet, but let's say a quite-some-time lurker. And I'm afraid I've never heard of the
commonly known 90° scratching technique
Could you or anyone pls tell me about it or point me to where it's described? As I think I will have to do something similar to my Velobuild VB-R-066 frame. Thanks a lot!

It's a size 52 frame.

Just hold the blade perpendicular (or less than 90°) to the frame and pull. At the beginning, you'll get white stripes. That's the clearcoat.
Dangerholm has a good video about it on youtube

Nice build
Which 11/28 ZTTO casette is that ?
Looking on ebay I can't see one close to 182g

Looking back, I'm not sure whether it was a ZTTO cassette. But it's one of these lightweight ones available on Ali.

I changed my mind regarding shift quality though. I went back to dura ace cassette after a couple of weeks. Shifting was slow in the small cogs, no matter how I set up the b-screw and electronic adjustment on the RD
