Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Over the last days I built the bike up bit by bit.
The wheels arrived today so I did a quick dry fit. Overall I have to say the geometry seems to fit me quite well, at least in a static position. With the 90mm stem length, as opposed to 120mm I have on my current bike, it feels quite a bit more relaxed.
This feeling matches what I hoped to get, from comparing the geometry and the measurements with my current ride, which is nice.

I mentioned it before, but I love the way the paintjob came out - the glossy chalk white with the contrast of the matte chamaeleon paint is a dream.

Not sure if I will be able to do a maiden ride this year, but I was able to make fairly good progress in the build so far. Routing the four cables through the handlebars was quite the hassle, especially knowing i would have to do it at least once more after cutting the fork steerer tube to length ...

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I'm mostly done with my build now, it went much quicker than I expected. I had to order a replacement front derailleur, for some reason the first one didn't work properly. Even after holding it side-by-side with the new one, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Next steps are to adjust & bleed the brakes, have a quick shakedown drive and put on the handlebar tape. After that give it a good cleaning and add some protection on the chainstays, etc..

Quick summary of the setup:
  • Frameset: Lightcarbon LCR017-D, superlight, size 54, HBR 13 integrated bar & stem 420x90, seatpost with 0mm offset
  • Wheelset: Lightcarbon C52DB Carbon Gravel Wheelset, 33mm deep rims, with upgraded spokes (Sapim CX-Ray)
  • Groupset: Shimano 105 R7100, 12-speed mechanical, disk brakes
  • Tires: WTB Expanse 32 (there's enough room to fit 35mm tires or even a bit bigger)
  • Saddle: Brooks Cambium C13 Carbon
  • Pedals: Shimano PD-ES 600

Weight is around 8.2kg in the current setup (incl. pedals), which is more than good enough for my purposes.

I'm 178 cm tall too and I'm a 54 on the LCD17. I actually hesitated with the 52 but I didn't want a head tube that was too low. My Elves Vanyar has a 120mm head tube. I opted for a 100mm integrated handlebar at the stem (actually measures 110 mm with the angle). The seat setback is 0. The 56 seems disproportionate to me. Generally speaking, it's better to choose smaller and set it up with the stem, seatpost setback, saddle length (245 is not like 275 cm).
