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

Post other photo, I don't understand where that hole is, in mine I don't found

I think it is the front derallieur cable hole?!

It looks like the cable "worked" there, I hope that Lightcarbon doesn't use the "assembly error" argument...

Mine is this

Huh this is weird the LightCarbon website doesn’t show a hole below the FD on the side of the frame only the back but on other people’s frame shots it’s clearly there

Here some extra pictures.

Update from LightCarbon: They responded requesting more info on the bike. I will let everyone know when I have more updates

Might be because putting a 5mm hole there causes catastrophic failure?  My frame has the hole for the FD behind and lower on the seat post as it's pictured on LC's website.  A bit a hassle dealing with the wire but preferred over weakening the frame

You wouldn’t think that area would have a high amount of stress otherwise it would be a stronger shape on most bikes, but that comes down to a lot of different factors. several manufactures have a hole there but on a flatter surface. LightCarbon are building my frame at the moment, kinda wondering if I should hit them up and show them this post and request no hole (running wheel top so I don’t need it anyway).

Anyone else with holed frames seeing issues? Or put more miles into theirs with no issue?

Just got an update from LightCarbon: They will fully replace my frame (painted with the original design). Concerning the crack, it is believed to be an error in manufacturing and moving forward they will pay extra attention by inspecting the frames internally.
