Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I'm going to replace my 10 year old velobuild vbr055 (mainly because I want to upgrade to wider tires, disc brakes and electronic shifting) with the LCR017D.

But im figuring out the frame size. Im 1,83 with 84cm inseam. I currently ride a 56 with 10cm stem but I always felt like I was overstretching a bit when riding in the hoods since im not the most flexible person. the geometry of my current frame and the LCR017 seem to be very similar. So im contemplating to get the 54 frame or a 56 with 90mm stem

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) It's best you compare them in one of the online geometry comparing sites...

I am 1.83 m tall and have an inside leg length of 83 cm.

The frame size 54 fits well and is rather larger than expected. I had doubts at first that it might be too small. But that is not the case.

I didn't get a monocockpit as it wouldn't have been available in my size. With a 38 mm width, the stem was far too short.
And I didn't want to ride a truck steering wheel either...
so I opted for a separate stem and handlebars.
11 cm stem and 38 mm handlebars.

What saddle post did you chose? I got the option for a 0 offset or 20mm offset post

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Oke, i made up my mind

I'm about to splurge on a 56 LCR017-D A-model (superlight) and also the lightcarbon 50MM rims with DTswiss 240 exp hubs.

Now i need to make up my mind on other bits and bobs but i think i will settle for the Ultegra DI2 group

Am I late, or did LC finally and officially offer up the LCR017-D on their website now?

This frame is still in my radar but I'd have to donor everything off my Yishun R086-D frameset. While I don't absolutely love the look of the R086-D, I can't imagine the riding dynamics are significantly different from the LCR017-D. Then again, super light version and custom paint are enticing. And obviously I already have compatible handlebars, stem, and headset bearings.

EDIT: Also comes with threaded T47 versus BB86 pressfit. Such a well proportioned looking frame.

Hey,

first I didnĀ“t found it but the sales send me this link

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Finally catching up to this thread. Between this bike and other new bikes (like the TFSA options), I gotta say chinertown has really been spoiled with low-cost low-weight semi-aero bike options lately.   ;D

When i see all the flat sections on the 017-d i doubt this frame is having good aero performance.
Down tube, seat tube and seat post are totally flat right in the airflow...


About the reach/stack you must take account that frames need special spacer to ensure cable routing, thus you can add at least 1,5cm to 2 cm for real stack and 1cm less for reach.

About workswell, they are not selling a lot for single customers.

Haha yeah I get that, but hey you can't expect the moon for a $600 frame I guess  ;D

FYI I contacted Workswell and they are willing to sell me a single frame, including the 316 and 366!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I am wondering if any manufacturers will start to make bike with endurance geometry but race/aero design, something like Pinarello X1.
