Hello everyone,
a short update on my experiences with the LCR017-D in combination with the Elite Edge 45 mm.
I have just returned from my 1-week training camp in Mallorca and after almost 1,000 km and thousands of meters of altitude, I am more than happy to have built this bike.
It just feels right and is a true all-rounder.
At the front in the wind in the group on the flat - up the mountains - down the mountains. There is nothing to complain about.
Here are a few pictures from Mallorca.

At first I had the feeling that I was sitting too stretched out and I moved the saddle completely forward.
Somehow everything seemed longer than I thought...
In the meantime I have moved the saddle back a bit and feel very comfortable in my current position.
I was initially thinking about ordering a 10 cm stem - but I have now discarded that idea.
The bike is really fun, especially on undulating / hilly or mountainous courses.

How did you calipers align? Seems that the facing of the mounting areas on the rear chain stay and front fork is nil.
that went quite normally and without any problems

« on: February 26, 2024, 04:53:55 AM »What saddle post did you chose? I got the option for a 0 offset or 20mm offset post
Unfortunately, I only had the option of a 20 mm offset at the time

Can you post a close up pic of that area?
oh sorry, I think I misread that.
There were no "grommets" for the brake hoses - but I don't think they're necessary.
There were grommets (I thought that's what you meant when you skimmed the post) for the cables and DI2 cables to the front derailleur/rear derailleur.
I can take photos of them when I get the chance.

« on: February 08, 2024, 04:48:05 AM »Great build!
I saw that your frame is size 54. May I ask you how tall you are and whats your inseam (I’m trying to figure out which size to order)? Also, did you have the chance to test ride your rig and can comment on how aggressive it feels in terms of the size? Last question: What stemlength are you riding?
Thanks in advance and best regards
I am 1.83 m tall and have an inside leg length of 83 cm.
The frame size 54 fits well and is rather larger than expected. I had doubts at first that it might be too small. But that is not the case.
I didn't get a monocockpit as it wouldn't have been available in my size. With a 38 mm width, the stem was far too short.
And I didn't want to ride a truck steering wheel either...
so I opted for a separate stem and handlebars.
11 cm stem and 38 mm handlebars.

« on: February 08, 2024, 02:36:18 AM »Were grommets included for where the brake hoses exit the frame at the front fork and rear chain stay?
Yeah - everything was there :-)
A good experience in contrast to my ICAN A40.
These were missing there and I had to make something myself...

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Pump with pressure indicator for traveling
« on: January 11, 2024, 09:31:58 AM »I use this one, it should fit inside a standard carry-on suitcase or inside your bike case. It's more easier to pump your tires with the top down motion as opposed to those mini-pumps.

But I also want to take other luggage with me besides the pump
It already seems very big to me

Component Deals & Selection / Pump with pressure indicator for traveling
« on: January 11, 2024, 08:39:05 AM »
Hi together,
I'm going on vacation twice this spring with my road bike.
And I'm looking for an air pump with a pressure indicator for this.
At home I have the Topeak JoeBlow Booster - but it's huge and in my saddlebag I have a tiny emergency pump which of course has no pressure gauge.
But I want to inflate my tires to the right pressure before the ride. In other words, the pump doesn't have to go in my jersey or saddlebag, but it should still fit in my suitcase.
My biggest fear is that the barometers are bad or that the pump itself doesn't work properly.
Do you have any recommendations? Gladly from AliExpress.
Thanks!

I've just finished the bike and don't want to withhold the first pictures from you.
If you like, I'll be happy to create a separate thread for the build, with decent pictures and what the riding impression is like.
As it's a pretty wet winter here at the moment and I'm working until dark, I won't be able to start the first test drive until next weekend at the earliest
