Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)

[jstrawks]

Those are a couple of really nice builds to wake up to.

Can I ask please, which chameleon color is that? :O Looks awesome!

How much was paint job with that paint?

Paint was LCB-8HS, single colour, full gloss no decals. I paid $140.  Have just finished the build and taken it for a couple of shakedown rides - photos to follow!

That looks very nice indeed! When did you order? Can't wait to see when mine is painted (also size 56)

Ordered on 11th November, size 54, arrived in UK 2nd Jan. I paid a total of $1045 inc paint, handlebars, shipping, plus spare seatpost, storage bag, and storage compartment cover.

Having such a hard time deciding on colour.

First I wanted the chameleon 7207 but after seeing photos, it looks just white, hard to see the chameleon effect. Next i considered chameleon 07HS. I see different example photos in different lighting and love the burgundy look, but other photos it looks very dark and just black.

After seeing Hoogie's yellow Velar that inspired me to consider a yellow mango colour.

Or maybe a british racing green would look great 

It's a difficult decision... if anyone has more examples of colours i listed feel free to share! would be greatly appreciated

I ordered my frame in Chameleon 7207, I should receive pictures of it in the upcoming two weeks. I will share them as soon I get them. I hope that might help a little

For completeness, mine was Pantone 109C.
I'll attach the color samples I got from Jim here. Because I was torn between Yellow C, 109 C and 123 C.

With the `Yellow C` I was afraid it would wash out in the sun, leaving almost no yellow when in bright sunlight. I found the `123 C` a bit too orange/gold in my opinion. So ultimately went for the 109 C.

The British Racing Green color from the lightcarbon palette is a pearl color. Below is a photo of the frame in this color.

As for samples of other colors, I recommend using Chat GPT or Gemini. Attach a photo and add a query such as "change the color of the frame and fork to (color here). Include a verbal description of the color, with the Pantone and hex ID)". Below are a few examples of generated photos (reference photos borrowed from this thread).

Came across Light Carbon's factory walk through video. Gives us another sneak peak of their upcoming Aero Gravel Race Bike and some custom painted LCR018-Ds.

Thank you.
You can clearly see the new model multiple times in the video. Now i want that one, but waiting propably almost a year until he is out its a pain.

The picture doesn't show it off well at all. I bought my LCR017 in British Racing Green and it's a fairly dark metallic. The colour swatch on their website is a better representation.

Yesterday I received photos of my frame:
Size 58, color: raw carbon glossy
ordered 22.12.2025, photos received: 20.01.20206
ordered with handlebars HBR17 420x110
If someone ordered also 420x110 they are not in stock and you need to wait couple of weeks. I replaced them with 420x120 which are on stock (420x100 too)

Can you tell me your height?

Planning to go with 1x12 setup, do i need to pick a zero or 3mm offset chainring? If using a DUB crankset? Planning to get a 44T chainring. Thanks

Usually SRAM chainrings are 6.5mm or over. If you use a 0 or 3mm the chainring will fit too outboard and you’ll potentially have a shitty chain line at the larger cassette ratios.
If you’re only using a 44 you’ll have no problems with clearance, so find something deeper.

I will be using a shimano grx components 10-51 cassette, ordered a DUB carbon crank in aliexpress which has 150 Q Factor with Easton Interface.

193cm, 92inseam, i have quite a long hands so will see how it fit.
first setup was with 15mm offset seatpost and 420x110 but it should arrive with 0mm offset and 120mm stem
I will update it later

If the Q factor is 150, that’s wider than SRAM road and the same as SRAM wide.
You don’t need Wide on this frame so you really need a deep chainring to get a decent chainline.

Alugear, SRAM AND Garbaruk are 6.5MM I’d be looking at that as a minimum for whatever fits your crank
