Comment-bombed the previous page to get to a working page 12 ... I was not being intentionally obnoxious, I was being purposefully obnoxious!

is there anyone have the photos of completed LCR017-D? we want some photosto show it,
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jim, can your engineers spec a thinner top tube pass thru washer so the gap isn't as large as it is in the images posted online?

[JimLee]

the painting have the thickness, so if a thinner washer, will can not use on painting frame,

This is from a previous post in this thread of a painted frame which looks to have a too large of a gap between the top tube and the spacer. I believe that the spacer or the pass through washer should be adjusted accordingly

I suppose you discussed this with Lightcarbon and Wendy sent you the same photo as me specifying that a 1mm gap is normal

[dinorello]

Yes I've discussed it with Wendy but I wouldn't say that a 1mm gap is "normal".  Of all the bikes that have integrated bars none have such an unsightly gap which would also allow water and dirt to enter the bearings more easily.

glad to hear it, I agree with you

I do not see any gap in the assembly of JMcarbon (European importer based in Holland)

Heres my headset area, no gaps.
The headset is a bit finicky to put together with the hydraulic lines, I'd disassemble and look to make sure the bearing race isn't jammed on the lines.

That doesnt look like a LCR017-D

Doh
You are right, I was confused, this is the Lightcarbon gravel frame.

Looks like JM is using metal spacers and top-hat which probably has a deeper recess which covers more of the pass-thru washer
