Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)

[chubv]

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

Oh, that sounds good to me. 👍

[Bike.Man]

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.

The axles are included with the frame and they're quite light. Unfortunately, you won't find a lighter alternative that fits well 😬

I'm still a bit undecided about which frame size to get. The red one is a Scott Addict Gravel in size S, which I feel very comfortable on. The blue one is the Lightcarbon in size 500, and the yellow one is the Lightcarbon in size 520.
I think it will probably go with the 520. More extension auf the seat post on the 500 would look sportier. 

Could someone with similar body measurements (175cm / inseam 78cm) perhaps post photos of a 520?

Thanks guys!

Align the three frames by the bottom bracket both vertically and horizontally (its an option on bike-stats). That will be a much more useful comparison and should make it a bit clearer which frame fits better

I previously did this with two frames each. Sorry I didn't post it.

The 500 is a little bit smaller then the Scott and the 520 is a little bit taller.

Lightcarbon told me that there are two option for the Garmin holder.
Titanium and Nylon+short fiber.

Does anyone have photos of the two variants?

Are there other options maybe from Ali which would fit onto the HBR17?

If you like tinkering, you can fit a generic 2-bolt adapter either using the included 3-bolt light holder or some washers (I tried both, but decided for the former). This has a benefit of having an adapter exactly as long as I want, while the whole assembly weighs less than or very similar to the titanium one.

[POTOOOOOOOO]

 As a dedicated WW I’m ok with that. Those axles are fine as they are, for the sort of bike it is.

For me personally, 5cm of spacers is too much. I think a bike with less spacers rides much better (more direct) and it also looks better. I would go with the bigger bike in your situation

Thank you for your assessment.

I only used the 5cm spacers for comparison, since the Scott has 5cm spacers installed. ;-)
I will go for max 2cm.


Are there any other opinions on frame size?


Can someone show photos of a 520 with inseam of about +/- 78cm?

My inseam length is 79 cm at a height of 1.75 m. I ride a size 52 frame with a saddle height of 69 cm.

Great thanks! Which stem length did you choose?

Nice!!

I'm a wondering a little bit that you don't need an offset seatpost with 165mm cranks.

100mm Stem
