What size would you guys recommend for me. I am 174cm with inseam around 79cm.
I've had s-works sl6 in size 54 with 80mm stem and currently Scott addict rc 2024 in size M with 90mm stem. Did bike fit on both. Friend is convinced I need to go with size 52. I think 54. Also not sure about stem. But I am guessing 100/110 for 52 and 90 for 54?

Thanks!

I'm 1.68m tall with a 78cm inseam and I bought a size 50 with 380x90 handlebars and it fits perfectly. I don't understand why you're thinking of a 54. Size 54 has a standover height of 78cm and 52 still has 76cm. I wonder how you'll manage with that 🤷🏻‍♂️

My frame arrived, it was perfectly packaged, and everything was in perfect condition. Everything is exactly as I ordered, with a significantly higher quality finish and, above all, a superior paint job. It's difficult to photograph and looks even better and very elegant in person. It's not exactly lightweight... with the paint job, 56cm frame, and storage compartment, it weighs 1190g. But that's fine by me. The fork weighs 460g, the handlebars 315g (380/100), and the seatpost 180g.

I'm very excited to see how the finished build looks. I would have found assembly instructions for, say, the headset helpful. Wendy doesn't offer anything like that. Otherwise, as I mentioned before, I had a pleasant and professional exchange with her. Incidentally, I specifically requested photos after completion. The storage compartment is fantastic; it's easy to use and very secure. From my current perspective, I wholeheartedly recommend a Lightcarbon frame!

I got pictures of a finished frame, but they had selected the wrong frame to paint.. I ordered lightest possible without storage, but this frame had storage. So if anyone wants a 47cm with storage box and gray decals, it might be available for shipping fast. I’ll wait for the correct frame. Happy about the look, though.

What can you tell us about that saddle?

What can you tell us about that saddle?

The saddle is a custom-made, one-of-a-kind piece. I wanted a Vegvisir logo printed on it, ideally on my favorite saddle, the Selle Italia SLR Carbonio. However, this saddle is only available in colored upholstery, and I already have several of those. To allow the print to be applied, it had to be a hard shell, in this case, a Tune KommVor. It weighs 90g, including the silver effect paint. The artist is Mario Zinn from Germany. I'd be happy to put you in touch if you're interested. But it's not really cheap... :)

Here are a few more examples of my bikes...

In my case...20 days.
The tracking didn't work at all. I only saw an update after the package arrived.

It looks like my front derailleur is slightly touching the tire (Chaoyang 700x38C, 24 mm internal rim). The tires are not fully inflated yet.
I suspect the problem is the derailleur, as I’m struggling to align it with the big chainring. Many say the LCR18 is very easy to assemble, but I’m finding it harder than expected.

Francy68: That little clip on di2 cable needs to be tuck to a deraliuer body pointing straight down.

Another thing that is good to know about. I was pulling my hair out why it is not working during my build for hours. I wanted to have one 5mm spacer above Light Carbon HBR17 handlebar for some potential future handlebar height adjustments, but when I did put normal round spacer above my stem headset was preloaded just on one side and headset topcap started to rub frame.
Then I figure out top face of handlebars is not completely straight and perpendicular to steerer tube. So I had to printed out my own headset spacer with 2mm angled surface and now it works perfectly.

Iam not saying that is good or bad just "non-standard" and a thing to be aware of if you need adjust your handlebar height.
Original topcap that comes with a handlebars works perfectly out of a box it is just when you need to adjust your handlebar height and put some spacers above handlebars.

I think you will need this angled spacer if you will ever need to adjust your cockpit height and put some spacers above stem, because I have no idea how to do that with stock parts without custom printed spacer.

Hope that helps someone.

Hello,

I'm wondering if anybody has mounted a mechanical groupset on this frame and is it has been difficult to set ?

Thanks and happy new year in advance !

Is the bolt that runs through the OEM top cap that comes with those bars centered to, and at zero degrees, relative to the center of the steerer? Is the bottom of the OEM top cap angled like the spacer you printed?

jstrawks: Yeah, steerer tube plug is standard one and pretty good one, so bolt runs to center of steerer tube. I would say original top cap is angled, just to my eye looks not that much angled as I ended up on, but is hard to say original top cap is asymmetrical to every direction.
