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

[dinorello]

Mine had and it's just "blue". Colour also seems fine on mine. Didn't see anything yet which might indicate bad painting but again it's just one simple colour from their classic colours

There's no clear coat on plain colors from light carbon.   It's just buffed out to a high gloss finish

Hello,

I purchased a LCR017 in June and received it a few months later, paid 712$, a bit less than you because I didn’t ask any customization. Did you request any "z tier" when ordering your frame?
Upon inspecting my frame, I discovered significant voids in the upper seat tube area. I reached out to my sales contact, Carol, regarding this issue but have not received a response yet (WhatsApp and email). I also used the contact form on the Lightcarbon website to inquire about my frame situation.
Just to clarify, I am not seeking for clicks on my YouTube channel, as someone suggested in response to one of my comments on Hambini's video about the same frame model. I simply want to share my experience with the Lightcarbon. Here's the video,
Eventually, I will do another one if Lightcarbon keeps quite about my case.
Thanks Tiago

wtf? the frame made of cheese?

Thank you for your answers.
I will order the frame and will give you feedback with visuals as soon as the assembly is done.
PS: And probably some advice

Lightcarbon admitted this was a mistake on their QC. Hope that am the only one, and that no one has or will receive this “cheese” frame

So, they're sending you a new one or they still wait for you to crash, die, and then send a replacement to your grieving family?

Hahahaha!

They said yes, they will ship a replacement frame. I never rode the frame I have

Did Lightcarbon ask you to remove the post linking the youtube showing the substandard frame in order for them to ship you out a new frame?

Just curious for the bad frame, does it have a "QC Passed" sticker on it?

QC passed for lightcarbon is like the  paid in full stamp

Ultimately, that's what we want to hear. I find shocking that they'd ship swiss cheese to people, but at least if you complain enough, they send you another frame.
Please keep us posted.

Just saw that. The down tube looks very square, although it's not filmed with the angle i'd like. Could it be that it's a fake, or they changed the design? I've seen real ones in a french bike shop, and the side of the down tube facing the wind is not a box, it's definitely rounded. It's not blade shaped by any meausre, but it's absolutely not a box.
But in this video the down tube looks as square as the light carbon one? Is it that the 1st gen cannondale was boxy, and we're at 2nd gen?
I'm confused.

[dinorello]

I think that the Cannondale looks boxy from the side view but it's actually not.

What do you think of the headset that comes with the frame? Would it make sense to upgrade to a better one, like an FSA?

[PLA]

As in replace the 2 bearings that sit in the headtube with fsa rebranded ones?

Yes, the did ask to remove it. I made it private. In case I don't hear them posting me about the shipping it will be back to public
