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

[Walter-sobchak]

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this frame after reading this thread.  Communicated with Wendy, and she was very helpful in making some selections with regards to paint, handlebars, and options.   

However, the lead time is quite long.  I wasn't expecting shipping immediately, but she referenced a new mold being made, and shipping isn't estimated until March or end of March.  I ordered end of December.  Just a heads up to anyone considering.

Does anyone know if the stack of the Yishun R1058 is measured including or excluding the upper headset cover?
The spacer seems to be approx 1cm in height, so this influences stack quite a bit.

Measurements are frame stack, not stem stack (some brands list one or the other without saying which and some list bofh). You'll need to factor in the headset cover and the cable guide that goes on top of that.

It is about 3cm in total. Can measure mine later on.

Thank you for the information, measurement of the minimum difference between frame and stack stem would be appreciated

Hi there,

I’m looking into this was frame as I need replacement for my Carbonda CFR 505, which got stolen. The CFR 505 was a size 57 (100mm stem, slammed). In general I liked the frame. However, it felt quite tall at the front. Even when I was down in the drops it felt quite upright. For my next frame I want something that is lower at the front and a bit more “racey”. I’m about 184cm, with an inseam of 87cm.

I’m considering the LCR017-D in size 54 with a 100mm stem as this would put me roughly in the same reach as the CFR 505 but lower at the front. What do you reckon, should I go with the 54 or 56 size?

Thanks and best regards

I've just finished the bike and don't want to withhold the first pictures from you. 

If you like, I'll be happy to create a separate thread for the build, with decent pictures and what the riding impression is like.

As it's a pretty wet winter here at the moment and I'm working until dark, I won't be able to start the first test drive until next weekend at the earliest 

Great build!

I saw that your frame is size 54. May I ask you how tall you are and whats your inseam (I’m trying to figure out which size to order)? Also, did you have the chance to test ride your rig and can comment on how aggressive it feels in terms of the size? Last question: What stemlength are you riding?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Were grommets included for where the brake hoses exit the frame at the front fork and rear chain stay?

Yeah - everything was there :-)
A good experience in contrast to my ICAN A40.
These were missing there and I had to make something myself...

Can you post a close up pic of that area?

I am 1.83 m tall and have an inside leg length of 83 cm.

The frame size 54 fits well and is rather larger than expected. I had doubts at first that it might be too small. But that is not the case.

I didn't get a monocockpit as it wouldn't have been available in my size. With a 38 mm width, the stem was far too short.
And I didn't want to ride a truck steering wheel either...
so I opted for a separate stem and handlebars.
11 cm stem and 38 mm handlebars.

oh sorry, I think I misread that.
There were no "grommets" for the brake hoses - but I don't think they're necessary.

There were grommets (I thought that's what you meant when you skimmed the post) for the cables and DI2 cables to the front derailleur/rear derailleur.

I can take photos of them when I get the chance.
