Here's mine.

[Carbon_Dude]

I have a neighbor possibly looking to build his son a new bike, please post some pictures of your recent builds.

Thanks to all who have inspired the projects on this forum!

I'll add mine.  Always a work in progress, but I'm happy with the way the frame paint turned out.

I painted it myself, magenta under blue and sanded away the blue for some accents.  No protective coat, I want it to continue to change as it gets used.  I'd like to redo the wheel decals to tie them into the color scheme but have not found the time.  I included a photo of the first scratch to show the effect of the paint.

Overall, the build is reasonably light at about 20.2 lbs and it climbs like a dream.

I did my best with the photos, but it's hard to capture how the color pops seeing it in person.

Build notes
-Frame is an ICAN M17 (21") that I got a good deal on because it had a stupid logo on it (hence the paint job).
-Wheels are speed tuned evo race carbon in 29" with speed tuned super 6 2.0 hubs, Racing Ralphs mounted but I'll need some more tread for the local trails here (moved recently).
-Rock Shox Sid XX World Cup fork converted to 110mm
-FSA SL-K carbon cranks
-XTR M9000 shifter and derailleur (11s)
-E-thirteen TRS RACE 9-46 cassette
-Magura MT4 brakes (Have XTR trail brakes waiting to be installed, I don't care for the Magura levers)
-Chiner seat, seatpost, stem, bars, etc.

Rebuilt my old 062 

[StefanB]

I have rebuilt the LCFS911. On the first image it is built with 27.5" wheels and a matching fork with 100 mm travel. I gave it to my wife on hear birthday and she tried it. She usually rides a SUP Hardtail. This felt very different and the felt as  the pedals where to low, to close to the ground hitting rocks and stuff. So I decided to make some changes.



The frame is made for 27.5"+ or 29". So I bought a 2:nd had 29" fork with 120 mm travel, a 29" front-wheel and a fat 27.5+ tire for the back wheel. (27.5*2. This increased the BB hight with more than 20 mm so now the bike suits her better. Its a kind of "mullet bike" and i think it turned out really nice.

Done with my third Light Carbon bike. For myself I have built a LCFS958 and for the rest of the family I have built 2 LCFS911. For the future I am really curious abouth the LCFS947 frame.

Overall I am very happy with the quality of the Light Carbon frames and they are great to ride.

Wow... that is a true Aliexpress build, congrats !
You should have made a dedicated post.

How is the shifting ?
What BB did you put in ? Is it a DUB spindle or 24mm ?
And... what camera did you use to make such beautiful pictures ?

[Schumo]

Nooo, it's only 60% AliExpress 
But yeah, will do that!

The shifting needs some work, after my ride today I noticed that the shift cable was loose, which might also be the cause why my bike mechanic friend who helped me setting the bike up said that it was a PITA to adjust.

The spindle is 24mm, and the BB is a ZTTO BB92.

I use my Sony a7ii, with a Samyang 35 1.4
