Yishun R1018 D

[craysor]

My frame has arrived a few weeks ago. Direct from yishun.

Nice.
What width are the tires?

[craysor]

32mm

curious how the frame feels. Please report back to us

What do you want to know? I love the bike, the quality is excellent as far as I can tell. As a comparison I have a Rose Backroad CF and a Cannondale Scalpel, the Yishun is absolutely equivalent in my opinion. My frame weighs 1000g in size 56 in the “normal” version.

Hi

I saw in the website that frame comes with holes in the top tube to fix a bottle or something else.
Have your frame such holes?

[craysor]

No holes. i talked about this with yishun but forgot the details.

they won't add rivnuts/bosses to their road bikes. had to buy a velcro type top tube bag for mine.

Anybody else bought the 1018? I'm considering it. Light, 32C, EPS moulding, monocoque, seller with great reputation (with the caveat that they just shipped a broken 17D to a forum member...).
For those who have one, how has it been riding? any points of comparison?

They're different companies...

Aren't people here saying yishun is the oem and light carbon is the retail facing arm of the same "company"?
Did I missunderstand that completely?

At one point they did have a relationship similar to that, without being directly related, but now seem to be independent with different products.
