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

When I was speaking with the light carbon sales representative, they told me they release a new model for Eurobike, I forgot to post :-) we

I am disappointed that we can't order the 1088 (https://www.yishunbike.com/product/r1088-daero-road/), but some of you might be interested :-)

It's directly the new Lab71 Supersix Evo knockoff in my opinion.

Yea what is the deal with Yishun bikes? They have some awesome frames I would love to order. Do they sell under a different name?

Yes, Light Carbon

Looks nothing like the 1058-D on Yishun Bike's website. If this is what that model looks like in final production its a pretty interesting departure.

Hiya, I have ordered the Yishun R1058_D. It is different to the new lightcarbon, they have different geometry. Lightcarbon is the direct to consumer arm of yishun who are the OEM manufacturer, however you can sometimes order directly from Yishun. Apparently you can't always. I started a separate thread for the Yishun 1058D if you were interested, just search it. The model is there own design and mould, they have their own R&D department and are registered as a company in germany. You can get the frames with a 5 year warranty for 20% additional cost which I went for, all in it cost about 800gbp. The frame is a mix of T700 and T800 carbon, T800 on all high stress areas. Yishun are the OEM manufacturer for Ribble in the UK and Da Rosa in italy as well as some other small italian brand, the quality is supposed to be top notch. I am expecting delivery end of august/early september.

I am trying to order 1088 from Yishun, and I think I can dream before getting it for a long time xD.

I like the 1018, though it seems "aggressively" enduro lol.

Bike and geometry are not on their website yet, are they?

They display it here tough.

Is matte black the only colour choice when ordering a single framest from them? Both the new frame and that aero LX-something-something look nice, and that paintjob on aero frame is sweeeeet

Take it with grain of salt, but someone uploaded geometry chart to LightCarbon Facebook page. Looks to be more aggressive than SuperSix Evo

You can ask any color, they will charge you obviously.

But they have nice colors: https://www.lightcarbon.com/decal-painting_n43

So... Has anyone ordered the LCR017-D frame yet? I was taking a second look at their geometry chart and it seems like a mess. I am no bike expert, but size 49 frame should not have longer wheelbase than size 54, right?

The numbers do seem correct ( I've put the numbers in www.bikegeo.net) . Whether it makes sense to have such a geometry for that bike size I don't know. Maybe compare it with some other brands and make your conclusion?
