Just received the pictures of my freshly painted frame 😍

It’s raw carbon, with a matte finish on the top side and glossy on the bottom, plus my own custom logo.

If the design looks familiar, that’s because the same color scheme is used in the LightCarbon PDF.

or from instagram

Really love how it came out and I honestly can’t wait to start the build and get this thing on the road

Hi guys!

Sorry I haven't read everything yet.  ::)
I'm very interested in this frame. I'm 175cm with an inseam of 78cm. I think 520 would be the right size. Or should I go with 500?
Has anybody mounted a Wheeltop EDS TX to this frame?

I also have a 78cm inseam, but I'm only 1.68m tall. I chose size 50 with 380/90 handlebars; the seatpost extension is 69cm.

Looks good! Could also work for me but I would take a 400/100 or 380/100 handlebar.

Blue UDH just arrived in time for the frame, which will come this afternoon  ;D

And has whopping 31.2 grams.
Is this the Wheeltop EDS TX?

How many months did most of the people here to wait upon invoice payment to receive images from LC on their frames prior to shipping? Thanks

Yes  ;)
I was a bit unsure if the front derailleur would rub on the tire, but even with 34mm it's enough space.

I just ordered my frame, so I can't evalute my decision yet, but I'm 172cm with 79cm inseam and went with 500 with 380x100mm handlebar.
My thought process here was (from experience with my gravel bike, which I bought the larger size and can't get the fit right), making the bike a bit longer or higher is easier than make it shorter. With the 100mm stem I have 10-20mm in both directions.

I ordered mine a week ago and was told mid-march.

I also installed enduro bearings and adhered to LightCarbon's 6Nm torque specification, because I assumed there must be a reason why LightCarbon recommends 6Nm 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can you please give me more information which bearing of enduro did you used? I am also planning to swap these out and the frame is not yet here to measure it.

I ordered this week. Size 52 with the HBR14. It is the eurobike painting with other colours. At first i would like to take the eurobike pattern with a teal green instead of black but the dont have the colours. Wendy said could arrive end of march in germany.
Which thru axle length I have to take? Of course 100/142 but with thread length? I am not quite sure.
