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

[Fer9n]

Copied the wrong code. Its 7207 and 08HS. Pearl white and chameleon green.

They both have some sort of effect depending on the lighting, however from the videos I was provided, it's not that crazy. Not sure if am allowed to share their google drive of different paint jobs

I don't think it is exactly the same frame. Geometry is different and details are similar, but not the same.

Seat post and fork are different. I contacted LC and it seems like they pushed this out 3yrs ago while Alcavi was designing and working on it on 18+. I’d want to think they designed it and maybe sent to LC to make cause LC only makes this in a Toray 700 while Alcavi specs it out as 700 and 1100 Toray….LC won’t make it in 1100 only 700. I actually just purchase this bike in 105Di2 35% less so I will be able to do a deep dive on the bike and quality.

Ended up pulling the trigger. It was between this and the Speeder SC-R55D. Really tough choice since the Speeder seems to be the same as the Tavelo Arow. While the LCR017D had more reviewed here and Hambini. One of the deciding factors for me was the T47 Bottom bracket since I run a 30mm crank and didn’t want to buy a new crankset that fit my Magene (3 bolt SRAM). Also the Lightcarbon team was fast and mocked up my custom paint quickly.

Looking for delivery late March/early April. Will be building as a road race bike with 55mm wheels (also from LightCarbon)

Still deciding if I want to go SRAM 1X or Shimano 105 mechanical. (Or go wheel top and be able to convert whenever) going to wait for some Chinese new year sales on Aliexpress to see if there’s any deals to be had.

Should be a nice upgrade from my old CAAD10

Finally finished the build! Super happy, it rides smooth as silk.

Specs:

- LCR017-D 54cm
- Shimano Ultegra Di2 12spd
- EliteWheels Edge 2.0 50mm
- Continental GP5000 AS TR 32mm (Tubeless)
- Ryet 3D-printed saddle RT06A
- Onirii PD-06 pedals
- Elite Leggero carbon

7.5KG with pedals, bottleholders and wahoo mount

No major issues during the build or riding so far. Haven’t noticed any drag from the square down tube either. Finger crossed the fame will last.

How did you get the cannondale logo? light carbon agreed to make you a counterfeit?

All nice beside that fake ass cannondale logo. Be proud to ride what you bought!

Can someone check the tools needed to assemble the T47 BB provided by LightCarbon? I haven’t started assembling the frame yet, but I want to prepare the tools in advance. I’m planning to use a SRAM Force AXS crankset, and the chart shows two options for SRAM.. (I knew there were many types of BBs, but I didn’t realize there were this many BB tools as well.)

I opted for BB Lightcarbon provided with the frame for 10 $ too, but in my case for Shimano 24 mm spindle. I believe it is this one:

As per details provided in the link above, the tool should be 52 mm with 16 teeth (52-16). However, I measured the size of the BB and ordered a different one from aliexpress (49-16) and it worked like a charm. Again, my BB was for Shimano 24 mm cranks, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Wow, this opens up even more possibilities. Now I understand why they included "set" as a product option. Haha.
If the product in the link is the same as the one provided by Lightcarbon, then trying the 49mm 16-notch for now would be fine, I guess. Thanks!

[edy]

I discovered the link I provided above only after I already ordered the BB49-16 tool. In panic, I ordered BB52-16 from the same manufacturer (Muqzi) as well, but since the BB49-16 tool did its job I didn't even bother to try if BB52-16 fits too For the price of the tool (5 EUR), it is worth considering buying both

[dinorello]

Why not spend a little more money on a better quality bottom bracket?

[edy]

Didn't find anything wrong with this one for now, so why bother? Maybe when this one needs replacing.

I completed by LightCarbon LCR017D build a couple of weeks ago and now have about 400k on the bike.
Build:
Frame: 56
Integrated bar and stem: 38/100
Seatpost: set back
Groupset: Wheeltop EDS
Crankset: Rotor Vegast 170mm
Chainrings: Rotor oval 50/34
Cassette: Ultegra 11-34
Saddle: Selle Italia Boost SLR Carbon
Wheels: Wheeltop wavy 45/50
Tires: Pirelli PZero 4S TLR 30 (run tubeless)
My dimensions: 181 cms; 79 kgs
Bike weight with dura ace pedals: 8 kg

My impressions:  I have 400 kms on the bike so far.   Overall, it’s a fun bike to ride and I think it’s a keeper. On the plus side, it’s light, super comfortable, not too extreme and descends well. This is all helped by good rubber (30mm Pirelli P Zero TLR 4S set up as tubeless) and a good saddle (selle Italia SLR carbon).  My niggles so far: the integrated stem and handlebar feels a bit like a wet noodle and is very thin. I have had my LBS build up the drops so that I can get a good grip. Also the frame does flex. When climbing, I could feel the chain rub. I took it back to my LBS and sure enough, on a stand we could see the flex. This is exacerbated by the Wheeltop groupset trimming inward in the middle gears regardless of the settings. There is an update recently released that may solve this and I will try it to see if this reduces/clears the problem.  Other than this the only thing I am watching warily are the wheel bearings. Others have reported that they corrode quickly. I have not experienced that but will watch for this.

Net, net, for a frame and fork that costs 1,300 euros landed in Europe, I’m still impressed!
