Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) my LCR017 arrived yesterday.
With custom paintwork.

First impression:
Wow.
Simply wow.

As soon as the bike is assembled, I'll put this beauty perfectly in scene and present it to you ;-)

Re: Consensus on replica frames ?? I have a Colnago Concept disc replica from Taobao, 2000 miles and it is still completely fine. I even crashed once and went for checking for the frame in my LBS and they said there is no problem and not accepting any payment from me because there's simply no issue found.

Funny thing is I got a friend who has a real Colnago Concept, we switched and tested our ride and we can't feel any major difference between the real and the replica, only feel a bit more sluggish when accelerating in the replica because it is around 500g heavier.

The paintjob is 8/10, it is definitely not perfect, place the real thing right next to it you can tell there's some difference, but if you don't compare it like this or know where to look I am pretty sure 95% people can't see the difference. There will be some paint scratches but it won't be spotted so easily.

The frame + integrated carbon handlebar is like 500 USD, both are replica, one thing to note is that the accessories they provide are kind of trash and expect to get yourself some titanium bolts for replacements, but other than that I can safe to say I will buy replica again if I want a new bike because the real thing is like 3000 USD+ and I simply don't find it worth the price.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Here are a few pictures.

I weighed the frame and fork on the kitchen scales ;-)

Frame: 911 g
Fork (uncut): 436 g

I think these are outstanding values. Especially as the whole thing has been painted.


Also attached are the desired detailed pictures.
