"Yep same with mine. End of December to be precise. I got an image of a complete build, it looks pretty sweet. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to repost it though."

We won't tell anyone if you post an image of the finished bike.

Yep, and if you upload using the sites attachments unregistered users cant see the photo.

A few pictures of the frame.

Minimum order requirement of 10. Price around $680 each with another $125 for shipping. This includes Frame, seat clamp, headset, rear thru axle, and a spare hanger. I messaged Sitar_Ned to see if it was ok to do a group buy.

I might be interested in a group buy of this frame if the AM831 doesn't happen anytime soon & this one don't drag out to long. Biggest problem might be finding more people tho.

QuentinLL · January 27, 2021, 03:14:20 AM

I would be interested in size L.
Tell us when you know if group buy is possible, and the average date of production

CasualRider · January 28, 2021, 08:56:17 PM

Waiting reply from Lightcarbon on the status of the build and testing

CasualRider · February 06, 2021, 11:14:12 PM

Woohooo, bike finally ready! Shipping on the 3rd week this month.

albar · February 07, 2021, 01:39:54 PM

Frame is listed on LoghtCarbon site again.
Whey are not selling it to single customers, right?

not sure, perhaps it got cancelled.

I checked geometry one again and it looks like an issue with frame design. For frame size L seat post insert length is only 170. So with KS LEV with 175 travel seat tube with installed dropper post will be approx. 530. It is toooo much.

Insertion is pretty small, i'ts because they put the suspension pivot in the seat tube. Out of all the droppers I've found the Oneup V2 has the shortest lenght, 150@420mm, 180@480 and you can shim the travel down 10 or 20mm.
