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

Short update:
I did my first 50km ride today with best weather.

It was great and the bike feels amazing.

The only thing I have to get used to is the Free hub sound.
As it is a 36T Ratchet system, the sound is not "round". It's a little alternating which seems to be normal with ratchet Free hubs. But for me it sounds not so nice. Maybe I'll put more grease inside to get it less loud 

It's LCs C52DB-RD28-44C wheel set.

I'm being very picky here...

Looks great, happy riding!

Finally, I received the pictures from Carol at LC. The paint job looks amazing, and I was promised that they will ship the frame tomorrow. The entire process experienced significant delays compared to the promised lead times, but I hope the wait will be worth it. I will post the final mounted pictures with custom decals (which are yet to be designed).

I see that now these frames have a hole under the front derailleur hanger

You will absolutely receive it in time for winter

Lucky me in my Spain region, we have almost "summer" all the year long :-)

I guess it is for the DI2 cable

Got my first pics too! Told it will be shipping by end of the week. Fingers crossed! I think it came out pretty nice! Here’s the pics! FYI was only able to upload one at a time then had to go back and modify the post. Don’t know if that’s normal for the site.

Looks very nice!

Yes, I experienced the same issue with uploading the pictures.

Interestingly your frame doesn't have the hole for FD Cable.
Same as all the frames before

How to route the di2 cable if there is no hole under the front derailleur? Through the hole for mechanical behind?

[dinorello]

That's what I did.  Plus you'll need to secure the DI2 wire so it doesn't rub on the wheel.

I think it is a little strange, that some frames have this hole an the most doesn't. For electrical group set you'll normally need it.
Not the end of the world but still strange, because the say the frame is for mechanical and electrical shifting.

They should do the hole always and provide a rubber grommet zu Close it in case of mechanical shifter.

What did you use to secure the wire?

Sorry to have raised this problem which certainly does not have one. For my part, I don't have a hole under the FD. So I went through the space provided at the bottom of the seat tube. I have a Shimano Di2. A part is provided for Shimano or Sram. On the other hand, so that the electrical wire could pass through this plastic part, I had to slightly enlarge the hole in this plastic part screwed to the frame. A little electrical tape on the electrical wire closes the small space to prevent the passage of water. Very simple overall

Maybe it has to do with the batches in which the frames were made. Maybe the first set of batches didn't have it and the most recent ones have it. It's the only logic I can find (supposing it's not frame size)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

I reported the problem with the FD Hanger (with Shimano mechanical FD) to Wendy. She said that she give this information to their engineer. So maybe if they think it necessary, they'll make some changes here too.

Couldn't find another solution and used a small piece of black electrical tape.

Basic issues like this make lc look amateurish. Brand new frame design but with no di2 port...
