well, here is a first picture of mine... still got work to do (bar tape, road bike pedals, some lighter rims etc ... ).

until now:

frame size 52
color: carbon raw matt
tires: specialized mondo 35
TPU rideNow tubes
sram force breaks
Galfer discs 160mm
sram red cranks 165mm
48t garbaruk chain ring
10-50 cassette
sram axs GX (hehe...)
ryet carbon saddle from AliExpress

still 7,8kg with DMR V12 pedals (430gr) and kinda heavy 50mm rims from Airwolf bikes (about 1540gr)

(still recovering from ACL surgery, that's why I cannot ride SPD SL pedals :-/ )

Has anyone cross-shopped the Long Teng RD301-D (aka Mondice FM106/Tideace R301D) and compared them for a do-everything-bike use case? I'm interested in the LCR018-D, but I think by the time I get an order in and the frame shipped out, half the summer will be gone!

The LT 301 looks aero like a school bus, vs this 18D actually got a fast bike stamp on the nero show.
Beyond that, i would assume both bikes to perform about the same, the 301 does claim to use fancy fibers, be super light, and tick all the boxes of a good modern OEM frame (my LT 268 is my daily driver for reference, but it's dated now, it's T700, it's not light, blablabla)

Many thanks, D

Correct, but you may not need it. It's likely provided in case the plastic thingy rubs on the frame once you've tightened everything. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. If you use it without needing it, you're creating an unnecessary gap between the plastic thingy and the frame, which 1. doesnt look nice (invisible from a distance) and 2. leads to more water ingress (also irrelevant unless you often ride in the rain). Or maybe if you use it on the trainer and sweat like a pig.

I needed it, otherwise plastic rubs on the frame

What is the T47 size for the standard stainless steel BB that LC supply?

I hear the Heppe tool from Aliexpress mentioned before but theres seems to be a few sizes available:

Prefer getting a socket adaptor type one so I can use my torque wrench to apply the correct torque value.

Can confirm T47 with 16T and 50mm diameter works perfect. I ordered this one (make sure to check the T47-50-16 variant): https://aliexpress.com/item/1005010757507426.html

I didn't need the spacer.

Hi all, this bike ticked all my boxes, but they don’t offer long enough seatposts. When I add the seat tube, the seatpost minimum insert and a saddle, they still come short of my saddle height by about 35mm. Do you guys know if there are longer seatposts available for this frame or know some other kind of hack?

Hi,

I'm looking for an expander with a thinner top than the one from LC which is 3mm thick. POTO did send a link to a specialized one but the product is not available anymore. Does anybody know an expander that could  suit the bike with a thinner top ? Thank you !

Hey,

Maybe a stupid question but why do you need that ? Thanks

Hello, it's just because I've cut the tube a bit too thick and I'd prefer to put a thinner top expander than cutting the tube again with only 1/2mm to cut off.
