Just got the second one in and will be building it up shortly. I will try and get some pics posted soon.  Looks of the frame are great and build quality seems just as great as the other light carbon frames I have.  This is a buddies frame so may not have all the pics right away.

Looks nice, reminds me of a Merida Ninety Six / Canyon Lux WC.

Only wish is for a slightly bigger model - 480mm reach / 640mm TT

Considering one of these for the next project. Would love to hear opinions from anyone that has received and built one... and of course any pics. Most of the numbers seem pretty close to a Cannondale Scalpel SE.

I made one for my fiancé. 10.7kg.. Parts from an old bike. Plan to change suspension 120mm front and change rear normal shox whitout remote locking because the drinking bottle can't fit now without violence.. Maybe i buy winter time L size for me.. Now i ride Trifox mfm100 120/115mm setup.. it's fun and fast, but that reach is maybe too much for me..

I’ve seen this issue on other bike frames with similar shock setups… just make a small 20-30* wedge to post between the bottle cage and frame. Angles it enough to give you a little extra space.

Got this ordered up along with the new 914 hard tail.  Finally getting my own frame instead of building bikes for friends.   a little trick to build your N+1 collection is 2 frames will fit in one box.  so shipping is less per frame then. 

Has anyone gone with the superlight frame version?  very curious what that one comes in at in real life.

Recieved my frame last week and have started to build my LCFS918.

Hello, has anyone verified that it is compatible with a 165×40 shock absorber? and another question, have you tried putting the remote up, facing the frame?

Finished with my LCFS918. I really like the lines of the frame. The quality of the frame is as always with Light Carbon great. This was really a smooth build without problems. And the bike is light, size L about 12 KG.

Hello, how high do you take the saddle? I carry the saddle at 74cms high, and because of the geometry, I wanted to look at a  L size .
