I honestly didn't really choose, I gave them a reference piece that I liked, which was the 2026 Giant Defy Advanced frameset but they call it "veins". It should have been darker at the bottom but I think this actually came out better and made it more unique.

I paid 24/07/2026, though it hasn't shipped yet.

I paid $959 for the frame, this was with two storage bags, and two UDH hangers plus the custom paint, so I'm not sure what the price was just for the paint and logos.

I also bought 2 bottle cages and a set of wheels, this all shipped to the UK was $1705 so around £1250 for me.

Very cool frame!  Love the paint job.  It is definitely darker towards the bottom.  As you said. Very unique!

Thanks.
I imagine the frame that inspired you is this one... I prefer the "veins" of your frame, though a darker blue on the lower part would have looked better; still, it’s a nice color.

So I received photos of my painted frame. This is one of the ready-made paint schemes offered by LC. What do you think of this painting?

Aesthetically I find Midnight Wing more interesting than way more popular Silverstone Gold scheme. Technically hard to judge from the pic but at the glance it seems super nice.
Can't wait to see the final build!

Hi, are you in contact with them? How? I'm trying to get a quotation for a frameset and they don't answer. I sent them the request by whatsapp last Sunday, some reminders, yesterday an e-mail and nothing... Last week they sent me some information by whatsapp but nothing this week, it's frustrating.

From the very beginning, I've been in touch with Joy from LC via email. Sometimes I have to wait a while for a reply, like 5 days but always responds back to me. I know they have a lot of orders maybe that's the problem. Production times have also increased.

FYI: The Ortlieb Quick rack/thru axle m6 connector works fine with the LCR018-D.

I wrote yesterday to Wendy by e-mail. If she doesn't answer maybe I'll ask you for Joy's e-mail. Many thanks!

Does anyone have information regarding using the possibility of using different handlebars than the stock ones with this frame?

For my triathlon endeavour, I would have hoped to use something like the BALUGOE Carbon Fiber that use a 31.8mm clamp diameter.

Thanks!
