Damn thanks for all the advice and for that massive save/assist. I was aware of some people facing some issues regarding 017d however i didn’t know it was that bad.

I think I will contact Peter about the r06 frame as well. It weighs almost same as LCR017 and in my opinion looks much better. I will keep you guys posted once i close this deal with Peter. According to this forum, he is a massive legend.

Btw this forum is absolutely amazing! Thanks guys

I agree that alce 017 isn’t the best looking frame. I have one and don’t like it much visually. But what I want to say is don’t rush on that.

if you see all threads absolutely every company has had more than one complain. Sometimes those complaints get disguised or are less visible because they are not repeated 300times… anyway LC is a legit and trustworthy factory. I deal quite a lot with frames from china. Don’t deal with clones, and i have some preferred providers, either by finishing quality or by quality/price. I value communication and after-sale support. You can have a different criteria. This to say that sending someone to search for a solution to their problem on a forum online is not exactly top notch support as well.

anyway between those choose not only what u like the most, but also what fits you best. you’ll have a great product anyway

They did respond after i publicly commented on one of their Instagram Posts just to
ghost me again

if you feel that, why do you even bother in trying to reach using different channels? Imagine how it is when you actually have problems. Speeder or anyone else

Judging from the picture (worth what is worth) that frame is gone.

You can sand the area to see but that looks like on a few layers under but I'd just look for a new frame.

Lightcarbon one here with 105 7020. Build was easy. But of course, it's always annoying to route 4 cables on an integrated hb. But will be on LC or any other brand. And honestly LC has quite some good finishing at least from my experience

Shows up as $1,700 for me. But not deliverable to my location either way. Remember though. We’re winning.

750€ here. Problem is likely the customs

Thanks, it looks like an interesting option.
I don´t think I´d need or want an higher stack.
Which groupset did you use and how easy was the building?
Thanks again.

105 mechanical (hydraulic)
Full internal cable routing
Full build was a breeze (well keep in mind 4 cables in the hb has their challenges, but by far the it was the easiest hb to work with for that.

I think the only real problem this frame has is that rear thruaxle which is annoying to fix whenever u need to remove the rear wheel.

As a reference I´d use the Canyon Ultimate.
Desired sizes: stack around 600 and reach around 400mm or something less, top tube some 580 to 600mm, head tube around 180mm.
The frameset should be compatible with DI2 and possibly have a BB86 bottom bracket.
12x100 and 12x142 thru axle and preferably use a round 27mm seat post.
I´m open to an integrated cockpit as long as I can pick "stem length" and width independently.
A choice of colours would be nice, but not first priority.
Very important to be are the build quality and the reliability.
It doesn´t have to be the absolute lightweight.
*32mm tire clearance is a must*.
I´ve seen Winspace C5 and T1550, but especially in the first case the largest size would be barely enough and the head tube is quite short with the C5 (165mm in size XL, in the T1550 is a bit longer) not necessarily a deal breaker but less-than-ideal.

I´m *NOT* interested to fakes and replicas.

Suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.


Ultimate has almost the same geometry as lcr017 in size 58. I know coz I have one for myself. But if you want the higher stack u mean you need to look to another options or add spacers. I run 25mm and it's still good looking

Love the concept of the bike. geometry is ok (some jumps in between sizes), but design wise seems a mix-match. I prefer more standard looking ones.

But i’m sure i’ll have clients for this. Good quality and service. Looking forward to have one in my hands

I think it's a bit like Dick as last name.

Hey all! Is there any chance that Schwalbe G-One Allround 35mm will fit into this frame? I ride a "gravel" bike and thinking about building one more on LCR017-D or LCG071 frame, but still an all-rounder (no pun intendent). Both looks fine but I like LCR017-D's sleeker look more. In short I ride mostly city roads and very shitty city roads, sometimes dirt roads and trails, so these tires are perfect for me and I need a strong frame with some extra tire clearance which will forgive me surprise potholes, big asphalt cracks, bunny hops, curbs etc. Any recommendations?

Honestly I dont think u can fit 35 into the 017. I have gp5000 32 and there is not much clearance left next to the bottom bracket. I can try to measure one of these days

The fork was fine on both sides when I started. When I approached the crossing it definitely felt like the left side snapped first under breaking. I took a "dive" and fell over the handlebar. I think the right arm cracked due to my weight going over the handlebar and having no support from the other side. I just had a look at the point where the hydraulic hose comes out of the fork and the material is not "bonded" but more separate layers. Anyway, I hope TanTan will find a good solution. The ride feel on this TT-X68 was very good.

Glad you're OK and props to you for keeping trust in riding this frame. I'd never be able to do  so... and you can see in my other comments that I privilege assistance quality above anything else. Of course this is likely an isolated case, but on a personal ground would look elsewhere :)

Hello all, I am going to China for 6 weeks this summer and since I am in interested in getting a new road bike I've been looking into Chinese brands so I can buy it and ride iit there and then bring it back. Most of the brands I've seen are just offering frames. What are some companies yall would recommend for a complete bike? The ones I have found are Serk, Seraph, Elves (small selection)

Also does anyone have any experience with buying a bike in China and then bringing it/shipping it back to the EU? Do I have to pay customs or VAT or anything like that?

Thanks

You have to ride it there (it needs to look used). If it looks new you'll pay.

Not sure it is worth. I think it's easier to try a couple of them there and then order them to be shipped to the EU

14
Any specific reason why you want to build one?

I'd stick with sth local, second hand likely, which she can try before.

400€ is not a lot if you consider that at least 150 will go to shipping (and 50 for color). So you need to search for sth in the range of 300ish considering the Ali price adjustment.

Check the Seaboard or similar. Carbon at that pricepoint I think maybe u can get the G056 in a promotion or similar. Anything below that not even sure exists should be crap and hell to build

15
yeah. I tend to agree with both. LC position seems quite fair.
And it’s always a good reason to buy new ones.
