Hello,

I have finished assembling my LightCarbon LCR017D.
Here is the list of the assembled equipment:

Frame: 52 (LCB-08HS color)
Integrated handlebar and stem: 40/90
Groupset: WHEELTOP EDS
Crankset: MAGENE P505 - 170mm cranks
Pedals: LFZ
Chainrings: DUAL-OVAL 50/36
Cassette: SPADEO-Casette 11-28
Chain: SUMC SX11SL-116L
Brake pads: BUCKKUB
Brake disc: NEWGOAL 160mm
Saddle: RYET Black carbon
Wheels: ELITEWHEELS Drive 40 mm
Tires: CONTINENTAL GP5000 STR 28"
Inner tube: CYCLAMI TPU 28" FV45mm
Computer: HAMMERHEAD Karoo 3

My dimensions: 177 cm / 71 kg
Weight of the bike (with pedals/computer/rear light/bottle): 7.8 kg

I expect more than my CYCPLUS L7.
I was able to travel 100 km with it and I am delighted with the behavior of the bike.
Responsive without being penalizing in case of less well.

Everything is clearer now that I have your explanations.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Ok, thanks for the info.
So it's the black bolt on the hood that tightens the assembly?

Hello Dinorello,

Thanks for your feedback.
I can see the operations to be carried out but my problem comes from the cap bolt.
Can you tell me on which part it will tighten? I don't see any bolt or thread underneath to hold it.

Best regards,

Hello everyone,

I received my frame and after an exterior/interior inspection, everything seems perfect.
I did a quick assembly to see the result (hand tightening) while waiting for the other parts.
However, I don't see how to screw the upper cover of the handlebar after cutting the fork to the right height and putting the extender in place.
If a charitable soul can guide me?

Tough question, mate. I'd probably say the LĂșn HYPER 2023 (I've only ridden the SE since, but they're basically identical) due to the combination of stiffness, durability and design (butterfly-weave). If the HYPER 3 (which I ride now) had a butterfly-weave finish, I'd vote for them. I find them more comfortable, the wider spokes make them look cooler, and they have a wider inner rim width.
With DRIVE wheels, the quality of the bearings annoys me, and with Superteam All-Carbon Ultra 2023, I am not 100% sure if they solved all the manufacturing issues they faced in the beginning (when I got a pair for a review where the real hub failed). Then, they sent me new rear wheels, and since then, there have been no issues. Ride-wise, they are probably most well-balanced.

Hello Petr,

I am thinking of buying the DRIVE 40D wheels after browsing this forum and your site.
Can you tell me which bearing (brand/model) you chose to put on your drives after 2000 km?
I think I will choose good steel bearings.

Thank you,

There's no clear coat on plain colors from light carbon.   It's just buffed out to a high gloss finish
Thank you for your answers.
I will order the frame and will give you feedback with visuals as soon as the assembly is done.
PS: And probably some advice  ;)

I had a similar doubt, but the 52 can come with the same voids as mine, so the 54 might come good (50/50) in terms of quality. Size chart-wise, maybe go smaller if the head tube size is ok for you

Thank you for this feedback.
I think I'll take a 52.
For the color, apparently not many people chose the Chameleon 08HS or Chameleon 13HS colors.

Hello everyone,

After reading this thread, I am considering purchasing this frame soon.

I have two questions for those who have already purchased this frame because despite several searches on measurement sites (https://www.bikegeocalc.com and https://www.bikegeo.net) I hesitate between 2 frame sizes (52 and 54).
I am 177 cm tall and my inseam is 79 cm.
I am currently riding a Look 695 in size S (51)
I like to have a fairly large saddle outlet because I find it prettier.
Can you guide me according to your experiences?

My second question is about the choice of colors for the Chameleon series.
Did any of you order the frame with the Chameleon 08HS or Chameleon 13HS colors?
If so, can you show us the final rendering?

Thank you for your answers.
