Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Well here is my construction is finished. Some 400km done. This is a tuning phase. I am 178 cm tall and 68kg; I opted for size 54. I finally changed the seatpost for a 0° because I use a short saddle (Elita one) of 245 cm in length and therefore little travel. I put 30 tires at the rear and 28 at the front. Of the 32 will pass without any problem. The wheels are YAR45-03 from Yuananbike (the equivalent of the Elite Edge) if I'm not mistaken. All-around wheels for the area I live in. My driving impressions are good. In my opinion the seatpost does not sufficiently filter the roughness of the road but the tires compensate (5.5 bar with TPU inner tube at the rear and latex at the front) but I don't like it either when it's too "bulbous". Maybe I'll lower the cockpit. It is currently 1cm higher than my other bikes. No construction problems. In the photos, you will see that there is no gap in the headset, that the downtube is not as excessive as some might think.  I posted a picture with a Hammerhead. I have moved it as close to the handlebars as possible and if you want, you can have even more room. Well come on, I'm leaving you, I have to train for the TDF (LOL). N.b: pay attention to the size of the handlebars when you order, the length is calculated on the bottom and with an angle of -10°, a length of 100 below measures about 110 on top

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Took me a bit longer to make this post.  Overall experience has been really good.  The fit of everything was spot on. Full build came in at 15.2 lbs without pedals (size 52).  For being that light, I am also surprised at how stiff it feels in accelerations.  My order was handled well and had great communication. I really like the color but it is more purple than I expected, but it looks great.  You can see in the sunlight it has the orangish chameleon, but the purple is the dominant color. Paint selection was LCB-02HS. Current setup is gp5000 28mm, but have a second wheelset with 32mm gp5000. One bummer is the width of handlebar options.  I went with the 40 x 110 handlebar and I have been running narrower bars and would have selected narrower, if available.

I will quickly address some of the items on this thread:
My frame has a drain hole under the BB
I will say that the layup feels pretty thin below the bottle cage on the downtube.  It is a larger tube size, but the wall thickness feels thin.
Brake caliper mounts are faced
Rear thru axle does require more torque than other frames (but doesn't appear to be any thread damage, so I don't know, not really an issue to me, but a previous poster described this).

I had to cut the seat tube to get my fit right, but just 1/2" or so.
I also ran into an issue with the seatpost clamp.  After riding I needed to adjust, and upon retorque the clamp to 6nm something with the pins that hold the bolt broke.  I have contacted LC and will update with how quickly they respond.  I am pretty sure their clamp is a tried and true design across other frames, so I am not quite sure. I want to tear it apart to see whats going on but it is kind of a captive part.

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?

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Got my first pics too! Told it will be shipping by end of the week. Fingers crossed! I think it came out pretty nice! Here’s the pics! FYI was only able to upload one at a time then had to go back and modify the post. Don’t know if that’s normal for the site.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Finally got my frame today! Looks really nice. Very little if any overspray anywhere, and almost all the threads were clean (a little burring on the through axle/hanger threads).

Now to build … one oversight on my part: SRAM DUB spacers?  Anyone else get this frame with the t47 bb supplied by light carbon? According to SRAM for road chain line, it requires 1 3mm spacer on the non drive side. Has this been others’ experience?  Thanks in advance for any help there.

Here are some early pics of the frame. The racing green is just a great color, and the decals are nice and clean. There’s some “noise” from imperfect masking between the green and pearl white in a couple places but nothing anyone other than me or you all might notice!


Next post will be with the full build … think I have everything except the spacers, and some damping foam for the internal hoses. Think I will also do another layer of clear coat before really building it … any pics with parts are just slapped together, didn’t even grease any threads! The horror, I know!

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Hello everyone,

I received the pictures from Wing today and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread and given me, and I'm sure many others, the chance to learn from the mistakes and tips of you. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to build my own road bike as I'm extremely interested in the mechanical part and not only in this wonderful sport.

Over the last few weeks, I have studied this thread from front to back several times to familiarize myself with the frameset and its peculiarities.

On May 13th the time had come and I sent the first mail to Carbonda.

Just one day later, Wing sent me the price list. I decided on a two-tone glossy color.

Once I had paid, it took a few weeks but today I received the pictures of the painted frame. I am super happy with the color choice and hope that the frame arrives as soon as possible so that I can start building it.

I will keep you up to date when the frame has arrived and the assembly can start

For those of you who are interested I have attached a list of all the parts I have ordered.
