LightCarbon LCG072-D (new Model 2024)

[gustawww]

if you guys are looking for something similair tantan has a g060 frame with similair GEO to this. From what i saw it's only available on their website and ebay. I'm thinking if i should buy it for my first project.

bummer.

I inquired with Jim regarding this new frame. This was his reply:

"Sorry, the ownership of this frame has been bought out exclusively. Please choose our other gravel frames, such as LCG071-D, LCG087-D (an upgraded version of LCG073-D, the head tube angle is changed from 68 degrees to 69.5 degrees, bottom bracket changed to T47-85.5)"

Looks like there is currently is no other frame available with this gravel/road mix or endurance geometry

This is a real bummer Their 087 D has the same geo as BMC road machine but not as endurance as the 072…

Let’s hope someone else come with the idea of making a good endurance frame.

Light carbon just lost one purchase xD

Also send a quick mail, because this frame looks much nicer to me than LCG071, but also just got the reply that it's bought out. Such a shame. Geometry looked good for me, and the seatstays are very nice.

So I'm curious who will release it as their own bike for 2025.

LMAO -  it's a Spanish gravel now

Mondraker Arid, I recognized the frame as soon as all of the influencer reviews popped up but couldn't remember the source. Seems like they added downtube storage and removed the dumb caliper aero covers.

Edit: on second glance there is a lot different, just shares the skeletal chainstay. Complete rework before production or a different frame?

Doesn’t seem to say max tyre size on the Mondraker site as far as I can see but the builds come with 45mm (or the one I checked did).  Edit - geometry geeks suggesting 50mm
Think the LCG-072 was quoted as 42mm max so does suggest some tweaks is it is the same base frame.

The geometry does not check out though.

The LC frame had more a Endurance bike geometry whereas the bike has a proper gravel/aggressive geometry. The rear stays seems similar.
