Hey everyone!

After years of lurking in the background, soaking up all the great tips, tricks, and stories from this awesome community, I figured it's about time I give something back.

I’ve bought a LCM914 hardtail and I want to share some of my experiences, joining in on the discussions, and maybe even offering a bit of advice here and there.

Like I've said. I've bought a LCM914 hardtail mountainbike frame. With my order, I also bought some more things from their website.
This was my order send to them:

Communication was good. I've been in contact with Wendy. She was very helpful and reaction times where good. Around 1 day to answer my emails.

The payment was made. Now the waiting game starts.

Hopefully this is interesting to someone!


Ride on,

Looking at a very similar build - please keep us posted!

That should be a sub 19lbs bike, no? Looking forward to it!

If everything goos to plan, It should be arround 9kg. Completed with pedals and bottle cages.
I'm thinking of getting a Rockshox Sid Ultimate fork in which should set the bike arround 9,6KG

Looks like a sweet build. Can't wait for the pics. I am running this frame as a SS and it has been great.

Love the build sheet, I did the same! lol
there is a lot of weight to be saved on the groupset. Lexon carbon crankset, YBN chain, spedao cassette, Ltwoo TX derrailleur, there is probable 500-600g right there lol
