Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I'm going to replace my 10 year old velobuild vbr055 (mainly because I want to upgrade to wider tires, disc brakes and electronic shifting) with the LCR017D.

But im figuring out the frame size. Im 1,83 with 84cm inseam. I currently ride a 56 with 10cm stem but I always felt like I was overstretching a bit when riding in the hoods since im not the most flexible person. the geometry of my current frame and the LCR017 seem to be very similar. So im contemplating to get the 54 frame or a 56 with 90mm stem

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.

What saddle post did you chose? I got the option for a 0 offset or 20mm offset post

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Oke, i made up my mind

I'm about to splurge on a 56 LCR017-D A-model (superlight) and also the lightcarbon 50MM rims with DTswiss 240 exp hubs.

Now i need to make up my mind on other bits and bobs but i think i will settle for the Ultegra DI2 group

Re: Need Bottom Bracket T47*P1.0 (68mm wide) for Shimano Hollowtech II
Is token available in your area? I have a T47:24mm spindle Token BB with steel bearings on my Seka. No complaints, spins smooth.

I’m planning to buy black bearing with skf bearings

You're a hero. Well done and thank you. Alisa is my sales rep at LT. That LT301 looks a LOT like the LT268 that I have, to the point that beyond the frame box, i'm not sure what's different. Weight i guess? Maybe manufacturing process?

The whole "squares are stronger than tubes" sounds wrong. And those boxy tubes look like buses, and buses aren't aerodynamic. Weird. Aero frames always were about tear drop shapes with the tail cut out. Not a box exposed to the wind...

Velobuild is a broker. Light Carbon & Long Teng are factories.

Awesome to learn that LT makes Argon frames, that just upped my bragging rights.

the tube is under an angle and there is a wheel infront of it. So while its certainly not aero optimised I think the penalty will be minimal, certainly if your not a pro

I emailed LC last night regarding the super light version in size 56. They replied within 3 hours, which was a welcomed surprise. The sales rep was polite, detailed, and it was obvious she was well-informed. All the molds for each frame size are finished, however current production time for a size 56 is one month.

I'm not sure whether or not LC and I will be collaborating as far as video content goes, but the price and initial customer service experience is enough to make me wanna purchase a frameset regardless.

I had the same experience with them I dealt with Wendy. Very helpful and patience selecting the parts. I ordered a 56 2 weeks ago. She said back then 54 was also available
