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.
-
Which timeline are we speaking about? Like 6 months? 12 months? I am juste curious because I really want their 1088-D xD
-
Thanks. They told me, i should ask in 2024 again.
-
The Haideli - Tideace - SP Cycle SP053-D is very similar, no?
-
Seatpost D-Shape instead of 27,2, i think
-
Not to different from Airwolf R066 that I just ordered:-)
-
Airwolf has also the specific seatpost, i think.
-
Looks like the R1018 can be ordered. I received Yishun's newsletter yesterday telling this frame is 'Ready to ship'.
-
Yes, got the newsletter
-
How do you sign up to the newsletter? Or does it just happen automatically when you start corresponding with them?

ordered from who? yishun doesn't like to do retail

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.
-
Yes its on their website as an option to order.
-
My frame has arrived a few weeks ago. Direct from yishun.
-
Nice.
What width are the tires?
-
32mm
-
curious how the frame feels. Please report back to us :D
-
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?
-
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.
-
@Serge_K did you end up grabbing one? I'm also thinking about this frame. @craysor also curious if you have any long term updates / thoughts on the frame!
For reference, I reached out and was quoted $920 and $850 for the superlight and regular frames respectively. Sounds like they have some current stock.
-
1 year, 4000 km, everything is fine. Very happy with the frame.
