Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

[dinorello]

oh sorry, I think I misread that.
There were no "grommets" for the brake hoses - but I don't think they're necessary.

There were grommets (I thought that's what you meant when you skimmed the post) for the cables and DI2 cables to the front derailleur/rear derailleur.

I can take photos of them when I get the chance.

Thanks for the clarification.  Won't the hoses rub through the paint eventually?⁶

I'm going to replace my 10 year old velobuild vbr055 (mainly because I want to upgrade to wider tires, disc brakes and electronic shifting) with the LCR017D.

But im figuring out the frame size. Im 1,83 with 84cm inseam. I currently ride a 56 with 10cm stem but I always felt like I was overstretching a bit when riding in the hoods since im not the most flexible person. the geometry of my current frame and the LCR017 seem to be very similar. So im contemplating to get the 54 frame or a 56 with 90mm stem

It's best you compare them in one of the online geometry comparing sites...

[Stoemper]

I am 1.83 m tall and have an inside leg length of 83 cm.

The frame size 54 fits well and is rather larger than expected. I had doubts at first that it might be too small. But that is not the case.

I didn't get a monocockpit as it wouldn't have been available in my size. With a 38 mm width, the stem was far too short.
And I didn't want to ride a truck steering wheel either...
so I opted for a separate stem and handlebars.
11 cm stem and 38 mm handlebars.

What saddle post did you chose? I got the option for a 0 offset or 20mm offset post

[Stoemper]

Oke, i made up my mind

I'm about to splurge on a 56 LCR017-D A-model (superlight) and also the lightcarbon 50MM rims with DTswiss 240 exp hubs.

Now i need to make up my mind on other bits and bobs but i think i will settle for the Ultegra DI2 group

Here are a few pictures.

I weighed the frame and fork on the kitchen scales ;-)

Frame: 911 g
Fork (uncut): 436 g

I think these are outstanding values. Especially as the whole thing has been painted.


Also attached are the desired detailed pictures.

How did you calipers align?  Seems that the facing of the mounting areas on the rear chain stay and front fork is nil.

Unfortunately, I only had the option of a 20 mm offset at the time

that went quite normally and without any problems

[dinorello]

I've been having an issue with getting both the front and rear calipers to align.  Seems that they weren't faced properly. .

would you have like the 0 offset? how does your bike ride and how is the fitting?

i have the same length and inseam as you, and since the reach of my current 56 always felt slightly to long i think i will go for a 54 with 100mm stem (vs 56 with 100 now)

[WhityWhite]

At first I had the feeling that I was sitting too stretched out and I moved the saddle completely forward.
Somehow everything seemed longer than I thought...
In the meantime I have moved the saddle back a bit and feel very comfortable in my current position.

I was initially thinking about ordering a 10 cm stem - but I have now discarded that idea.

The bike is really fun, especially on undulating / hilly or mountainous courses.

Am I late, or did LC finally and officially offer up the LCR017-D on their website now?

This frame is still in my radar but I'd have to donor everything off my Yishun R086-D frameset. While I don't absolutely love the look of the R086-D, I can't imagine the riding dynamics are significantly different from the LCR017-D. Then again, super light version and custom paint are enticing. And obviously I already have compatible handlebars, stem, and headset bearings.

EDIT: Also comes with threaded T47 versus BB86 pressfit. Such a well proportioned looking frame.

Finally catching up to this thread. Between this bike and other new bikes (like the TFSA options), I gotta say chinertown has really been spoiled with low-cost low-weight semi-aero bike options lately.

from the picture it did seem like you have a big drop, that is holding me from ordering. Im getting closer to 40 and was never really flexible to begin with

Just wired the money for a 56 frame with 90*420mm handlebar/stem will take prob 2 months until it arrives
