UNI 50 with carbon spokes.
I fixed the problem myself so no i didn't contact him again.
The whole objective of a proper QC protocol is to ultimately produce products that are free from defects before they ship to the end consumer. Everyone involved in the production process , from the initial order taker to the person packaging, should be another layer of QC and ultimately overseen by a department accountable for quality control..
Yeah all that sounds good but how does LC send out an obviously defective and broken frame without some kind of QC?
To be very clear, your frame is broken, do not ride it, get a replacement, and don't pay for it. FYI, it's obvious with the video, but impossible to tell with the picture alone. For any kind of warranty question, i find that video is the way to go.
I guess it makes you question the whole "affordable chinese yet ultra light carbon frame" thing a bit... Yishun / Light carbon have excellent reputation, yet less than 5 frames of the LC17 on this forum, and one's cracked out of the box. Not the kind of failure rate we want to live with, and it's infinitely more serious than a shitty C ring causing headset play, flexy bars that can be swapped for 100$ or a slipping seat post we can shim with a piece of soda can or some fiberglass cloth.
That is really, really not good.
Super light version standard EXW price is USD$590, now special price in USD$550 with one hanger (carol made a mistake. An extra hanger costs $10 more.), normal weight version USD$490; normally we suggest the buyer get two hangers, so cost is higher USD$10/set,
I believe you were quoted the Super Light one ... IIRC, standard is $530, Super Light is $590.
Got roasted for opening a new thread regarding this frame. Moving the info here
I've placed an order today for a size 54 with a custom design in 2 colours.
Final build will be 105 Di2 groupset. Elitewheels Flow 50 mm wheels with GP Contis 32mm.
LC website states 32mm max width
Finalizing my order as we speak. Custom painted 58cm ultralight. Carol and Lightcarbon have been super-responsive and helpful, especially since this is the first time I've done custom graphics for something like a bike frame. Will definitely be reporting back as the process completes! Very much looking forward to receiving it and building it up!
