Title: Yishun R1018 D
Post by: craysor on August 06, 2023, 02:58:06 AM
Hello guys,
I have discovered the Yishun R1018D and would like to buy it. Unfortunately, yishunbikes does not currently sell the frame to consumers. Any idea how to get to the frame? Does another company sell the frame?

Thanks very much
Chris

If they don't sell it to consumers, that means all their production capacity is currently taken up by OEM customers. If you wait a few months, the initial demands will die down, and it should open to regular customers.

The Haideli - Tideace - SP Cycle SP053-D is very similar, no?

Looks like the R1018 can be ordered. I received Yishun's newsletter yesterday telling this frame is 'Ready to ship'.

How do you sign up to the newsletter? Or does it just happen automatically when you start corresponding with them?

Indeed. At least that was the reason in my case.

Not sure if they like it, but they do retail. Maybe on a selective basis.

I find it strange.
Many people on this forum have bought frame from Yisun.

What do you want to know? I love the bike, the quality is excellent as far as I can tell. As a comparison I have a Rose Backroad CF and a Cannondale Scalpel, the Yishun is absolutely equivalent in my opinion. My frame weighs 1000g in size 56 in the “normal” version.

Hi

I saw in the website that frame comes with holes in the top tube to fix a bottle or something else.
Have your frame such holes?
Title: Re: Yishun R1018 D

No holes. i talked about this with yishun but forgot the details.

they won't add rivnuts/bosses to their road bikes. had to buy a velcro type top tube bag for mine.

Anybody else bought the 1018? I'm considering it. Light, 32C, EPS moulding, monocoque, seller with great reputation (with the caveat that they just shipped a broken 17D to a forum member...).
For those who have one, how has it been riding? any points of comparison?

They're different companies...

Aren't people here saying yishun is the oem and light carbon is the retail facing arm of the same "company"?
Did I missunderstand that completely?

At one point they did have a relationship similar to that, without being directly related, but now seem to be independent with different products.
