Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
I agree with you with the aesthetics of the downtube. It would look better and make more sense in a different (teardrop like) shape. You do you! i considered buying one myself for many weeks, and i'm not saying it's a bad frame, in fact i think it's a great frame! i was just detailing my thought process as i figured it could be useful to some. Enjoy your new bike and post here about your experience and impressions! May 15, 2024, 08:41:07 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
we know for a fact that rider & clothing matter more than the bike itself, it's about 80% rider and 20% bike, afaik. As long as we all know what we are getting/building/taking, get support and are all happy that's all it matters Opinions will always be opinions Being it Hambini and all other (pseudo) specialists. People spend more time online reading all the details and micro-details than actually riding the bike and enjoying the fresh air . May 15, 2024, 08:43:14 AM |

For me that's actually what is more valuable in these forums. Analysing the different reasoning and mental model different people use to select frames/bikes/products. Question them and take my conclusions and decisions. Thanks for sharing your inputs May 15, 2024, 08:47:22 AM |

Question them and take my conclusions and decisions. It's the same for me. From others experiences and opinions I can maybe learn or think from an different angle on the topic. So I thing discussions are a good thing May 16, 2024, 12:50:40 PM |

Yeah agree, the main reason I build up my own bike is because I get to design my own bike and not cycle around with some giant brand billboard ruining the aesthetics.

I know this post is a little bit older. typically 20 days is total transit time, once it's in europe you have it within 1 week, for experience. it is true that tracking data sometimes goes dark for no apparent reason between china and europe. presumably because of VAT shenanigans with DDP schemes. Once it resurfaces, you get it pretty fast. May 20, 2024, 08:12:38 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
I just received my Frameset today. So far it looks good. But I think there is one big problem. The front derailleur mount seems to small, so that the bolt from the front derailleur do not touch anything. I also can't glue the Shimano metal sticker. Anyone have an idea what I should do now? Did I do something wrong or is that a problem from the hanger? May 22, 2024, 12:19:31 PM |

I just received my Frameset today. So far it looks good. But isn't that the 'tension' screw? That is not the one attaching the derailleur to the frame if I'm not mistaken May 22, 2024, 01:09:52 PM |

The hanger is fixed by 4 screws. So if they could provide a different hanger it could work.I tasted the electric and it's really great for the settings which offer a lot of possibilities. Without counting on internal wiring, much easier. It's very difficult to go back. May 22, 2024, 05:38:03 PM |
