Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Just got back from the Taipei Bike Show

You're a hero. Well done and thank you. Alisa is my sales rep at LT. That LT301 looks a LOT like the LT268 that I have, to the point that beyond the frame box, i'm not sure what's different. Weight i guess? Maybe manufacturing process?

The whole "squares are stronger than tubes" sounds wrong. And those boxy tubes look like buses, and buses aren't aerodynamic. Weird. Aero frames always were about tear drop shapes with the tail cut out. Not a box exposed to the wind...

Velobuild is a broker. Light Carbon & Long Teng are factories.

Awesome to learn that LT makes Argon frames, that just upped my bragging rights.

the tube is under an angle and there is a wheel infront of it. So while its certainly not aero optimised I think the penalty will be minimal, certainly if your not a pro

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Unless the bike is dedicated aero bike, square-ish down tube is fine. Cannondale SuperSix Evo 4 has square downtube as well, yet with Cannondale's own 50mm wheels and 2 piece handlebar it is on par or better with quite a few dedicated aero bikes.

I emailed LC last night regarding the super light version in size 56. They replied within 3 hours, which was a welcomed surprise. The sales rep was polite, detailed, and it was obvious she was well-informed. All the molds for each frame size are finished, however current production time for a size 56 is one month.

I'm not sure whether or not LC and I will be collaborating as far as video content goes, but the price and initial customer service experience is enough to make me wanna purchase a frameset regardless.

I had the same experience with them I dealt with Wendy. Very helpful and patience selecting the parts. I ordered a 56 2 weeks ago. She said back then 54 was also available

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Hello everyone,

a short update on my experiences with the LCR017-D in combination with the Elite Edge 45 mm.

I have just returned from my 1-week training camp in Mallorca and after almost 1,000 km and thousands of meters of altitude, I am more than happy to have built this bike.
It just feels right and is a true all-rounder.
At the front in the wind in the group on the flat - up the mountains - down the mountains. There is nothing to complain about.

Here are a few pictures from Mallorca.

What makes you say that there provided to a company called laminar? I thought that the rims were made by Pro-X

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Exactly looks like Laminar sources their rims from Lightcarbon/ProX.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Any news from users on this frame?
I'm probably going to get one myself.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I ordered back in December.  Its ship date has been pushed back 2 times now.   I hope they are planning on building some stock, because waiting this long is brutal.
