Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

[DrRoB]

Please consider using different logos, it's pretty cringe (and illegal in lots of jurisdictions) to ride fakes. My bike looks like a Factor and i made Tractor decals, it's my way of trolling Factor. But putting Factor logos would just be cringe.
Light carbon makes good frames, there's no shame in riding one, but it doesn't make it a cannondale.
Nice build though, let us know how it rides & holds up over time!

I know
And it was never my Intention to drive it with the Cannondale decals
I originaly ordered with Lightcarbon dacals for 35$
But unfortunatly wendy and LC forgot to put the decals on my frame

Sorry

Beauty! Love the color! How’s the paint finish close up? Also, thanks for the feedback on the bottles. Ordered a couple to ship with my frame (still a month before shipping … the parts are so lonely! ).

The Color Finishing is not the best unfortunetly
After 500km I have alredy some chips in the Color
It isnt so durable like the name Brands

[rasch]

Yeah the colour looks great but if it chips, not sure it's worth to pay.

Which colour is it?

[dinorello]

Clear coating over the color usually helps with durability which I wrongly assumed was included with the cost of painting

The Next time i am going to ask for the protective clear coating for shure.

The color should be metallic Blue
But in real it isnt looking like on the color samples (But wandy from LC communicated this with me and asked if Its ok that isnt lake the Color chart
I approved it to avoid further delays

Well I must say it looks great the colour. Are you fitting 32 tires? Do you think it's possible to fit 35?

About the Clear coating, maybe @Jim can confirm but I'd assume it should have it. Maybe they need to improve it too

[dinorello]

All modern paint jobs should be clear coated instead of just buffing the paint to a high gloss finish.

I'm currently driving a 30mm Vittoria Corsa Next and there's not a lot of space. 35mm shouldn't be a problem at all

That's actually a very good tip. Next time I probably won't order a very thick protective coat

Cool. Thanks. I'll order one to see the quality then and do a simple build with a 105 I got laying around

Are you sure your frame isnt clear coated? From the video and photos it looks proper glossy (like a clear coated frame). But than again, this could be due to the sunlight.

Definitely not clear coated....only buffed to the point where it's been rubbed through to the white base coat in areas .   You figure the amount of time that they could have saved buffing it out by clear coating it instead would have been more cost effective in the end
