I visited Eurobike 2024 yesterday and Lightcarbon is expected to release a new model at the end of September, which will be a mix of gravel and road bike.
I took a photo of the specifications, the frame is a 3D print what the frame might look like, what do you think about it?

I wrote to LC because I liked the look of the frame. Here's the response:
Thanks for your inquiry about LCG072-D, the newest gravel frame set,
check attachment. max tire is 700C*42C,
now the frame is just on testing, size M loading time is about two months,
Frame set including frame+ seat post + fork +stem or handlebar + seat clamp+ head set+ front & rear thru-axle, and two hangers for rear derailleur.
Color: UD matt, (painting customized is acceptable with extra cost.)
Price is about USD$780/set including shipping cost and all duties to Danmark, we need confirm your post code frist,.
If pack two frames in one carton, price can be cheaper.
They included a geo chart, attached below

This post does not get enough appreciation xD.
I am curious about so few size option though. It is their first real endurance frame.
-
This is just what I am looking for. A road oriented frame with the ability to run 40mm tires. Looks much like a Dogma X Disc, I LOVE it !

Could you share the contact email where you wrote. I really liked this frame, I think this is what I will build in winter for do it all bike for next year's season.

Looks like a cheesy copy of the Seka Spear for gravel. :o

Yep, with the addition aero shields on calipers. It's probably completely painless or adds 1-3 watts of efficiency, but I just like how cool looks this frame.

I clicked the "contact us" tab on their website.

Mass production will take at least two months. We have invested too much cost in the new frame this year. now we are busy for another E-gravel suitable for the M820 motor in testing, so this LCG072-D will be slower!

That's interesting. Quite a few people on this forum are interested in e-bikes (road / gravel). A problem i ran into is that it's hard to find the motor & battery system compatible with the frame. Will you offer the option to sell the M820 with battery with the frame?

Do you have any new information or photos that you can share? I'm interested in taking a look at photos of handelbar and options

I quickly asked for the pricing and they offer the frame for 560 USD/set before shipping and paint.
It is around 100 USD more than the LCG071-D, so I guess by being patient we should see the price being competitive :).
I really like the geometry of it, one of the first few endurance geometry with nice aero shapes.
I wish we could have more pictures and maybe a full bike.
-
bummer.
I inquired with Jim regarding this new frame. This was his reply:
"Sorry, the ownership of this frame has been bought out exclusively. Please choose our other gravel frames, such as LCG071-D, LCG087-D (an upgraded version of LCG073-D, the head tube angle is changed from 68 degrees to 69.5 degrees, bottom bracket changed to T47-85.5)"
Looks like there is currently is no other frame available with this gravel/road mix or endurance geometry
-
So I'm curious who will release it as their own bike for 2025.

Some strange local brand with a price of 5000-10000€ in one of the countries, as was the case with yiushun g095

if you guys are looking for something similair tantan has a g060 frame with similair GEO to this. From what i saw it's only available on their website and ebay. I'm thinking if i should buy it for my first project.

This is a real bummer :( Their 087 D has the same geo as BMC road machine but not as endurance as the 072…
Let’s hope someone else come with the idea of making a good endurance frame. :)
Light carbon just lost one purchase xD
-
Also send a quick mail, because this frame looks much nicer to me than LCG071, but also just got the reply that it's bought out. Such a shame. Geometry looked good for me, and the seatstays are very nice.

LMAO - it's a Spanish gravel now
Check new Ben Delaney video on YT

Mondraker Arid, I recognized the frame as soon as all of the influencer reviews popped up but couldn't remember the source. Seems like they added downtube storage and removed the dumb caliper aero covers.
Edit: on second glance there is a lot different, just shares the skeletal chainstay. Complete rework before production or a different frame?

Doesn’t seem to say max tyre size on the Mondraker site as far as I can see but the builds come with 45mm (or the one I checked did). Edit - geometry geeks suggesting 50mm
Think the LCG-072 was quoted as 42mm max so does suggest some tweaks is it is the same base frame.
-
The geometry does not check out though.
The LC frame had more a Endurance bike geometry whereas the bike has a proper gravel/aggressive geometry. The rear stays seems similar.
