Is anyone here building using a Lightcarbon frame?  Their website seems pretty impressive.  I am about to buy a gravel frame via Alibaba.
Thanks.

I don't know what the silence means.

If it is my silence... Nothing to worry about  ;)
The look is just a bit too squarish for me.

From multiple feedback here, Lightcarbon is apparently a very good seller( builder ? ), at least for MTBs

I laced up a set of their fat bike rims and built up one of their full suspension frames. I've been pretty happy with the carbon. Only issues I have had are hardware related.  I tried to straighten a bent derailleur hanger which broke and I had the head of the lower pivot suspension bolt shear off after 1000 miles. I had an extra hanger but bought 4 more because shipping is $22. Then when I broke the suspension bolt I paid for shipping and 1 set of all suspension hardware and they sent a 2nd set at no charge.

My frame is backordered a couple of weeks.  I'm on to selecting the right components for our hilly trails. This gives me time to ponder graphics/decals.    Not sure I want to advertise for Light Carbon.  My email address?  Paint, decal and clearcoat?
