Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Hi there,

I’m looking into this was frame as I need replacement for my Carbonda CFR 505, which got stolen. The CFR 505 was a size 57 (100mm stem, slammed). In general I liked the frame. However, it felt quite tall at the front. Even when I was down in the drops it felt quite upright. For my next frame I want something that is lower at the front and a bit more “racey”. I’m about 184cm, with an inseam of 87cm.

I’m considering the LCR017-D in size 54 with a 100mm stem as this would put me roughly in the same reach as the CFR 505 but lower at the front. What do you reckon, should I go with the 54 or 56 size?

Thanks and best regards

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I also ordered a frame in 56cm and a carbon spoked, ceramic bearing, ratchet freehub wheelset (C67DB) from them. Wheelset including shipping and Paypal fees was around 700 USD, which is quite cheap for what they offer. I will report when I received the parts. Looks like the rims are also provided to a company called „Laminar“:

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Great looking Bike!

How do you like it thus far? I see, that you got the C67DB (?) wheelset. The pattern looks very subtle, I like it. The hicups were nothing major I suppose?

Best regards

The major issue is that they primed the whole frame in a white base coat that should've only been applied below the purple.  So any chips or scratches are immediately more visible now plus the fact there's no clear coat doesn't help.  It couldve been closer to perfect if they hadnt fkd up the paint and cheaped out on not clear coating it.

Thanks for posting your experience. Much appreciated.

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

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.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Quick question: did the provided tracking number work for you? Wendy send me a tracking number for my wheelset about 12 days ago, but the tracking is not moving at all (which she said would happen).
