Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)

[Mint Julep]

Got my order in today.

Now for the waiting.  Jim says expect it in early November.

[szorek]

So, my frame arrived on September 21, I paid for the order on July 1st.
size:52, handlebars 380x100

My first impression is very good. The frame looks great, and the paint job is top-notch.  So far, I've only cut the head tube. It was my first time doing this, so I had to make sure I was doing everything right. I left three washers under the stem. I also ordered two seatposts—one with offset and one 0 offset.
The seatpost clamp I received is silver, so I think this is the new version. The storage door closes by pulling it down, it looks solid, and there's also a small knob that locks the lever in place. The set also included a set of plugs, and the rest are already installed in the frame.
The seatpost already has a grip; it's quite hard to slide into the frame, so I hope there won't be a problem with the seatpost slipping down once the carbon paste has been applied.
Fun fact: the instruction manual includes diagrams of the brake system bolts. The bolts are to scale (1:1), so they're easy to align.

Hey everyone,

Now that the days are getting shorter (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), I'm curious what kind of light setups you're all running.
I have a Magicshine EVO 1700 and tried mounting it directly under the handlebar using the included GoPro adapter. However, because my stem is only 80mm, the back of the light hits the steerer tube before I can tilt it down far enough.

My other option is mounting it directly underneath my Garmin mount, but I'm worried the weight (~150g) might snap the plastic mount over rougher roads. i have the standard plastic mount from LightCarbon, not the 3D-printed titanium version.

Has anyone run a similar light setup on an out-front mount without issues, or found an extension/adapter that works for short stems?

My first thought would be to scroll through the thread for the user who created a 3D file for an outfront mount. Print that in a heavy duty material with a high fill. I imagine that would be a good way create a strong mount while mounting the light in a good position. Many online printing places, I found one local who printed the mount for $5 CAD.

Aliexpress does 3d printing (including metal), regular printing of stickers, vinyl, tee shirts. You can get pretty much anything printed there for cheap, especially if the part is small and light, shipping will be cheap. If you can find a local provider it's great, but it can easily be easier cheaper and faster to use such a platform.

Thank you very much for showing us this, I didn't know if the screws were included.

The screws aren't included with the frame; I received them with my GRX 2x12 groupset.

I bought my frame last year with an offset seat post. Recently bought a zero offset post and you aren't kidding. My offset post with 3 layers of clear film on two sides, to help prevent slipping. The old post slid up and down easier than the new zero offset post. I haven't measured but the new post must be slightly girthier to help prevent slipping.

I have now ordered for my other bike with integrated handlebars.

On my bike with normal stem I use the ZTTO bike computer mount. On the topside I have installed my Karoo and below the light.

regular printing of stickers, vinyl,

teach me the ways, sir. I was looking for a store to print my decals on some quality vinyl (proper svg file in correct size), but all I could find between the ads was pre-defined sizes, pre-defined fonts and cheap looking generic plastic stickers.

If you know somebody with a 3D printer, you can print one like this https://makerworld.com/en/models/1958555-gopro-arm-extensions-10mm-to-160mm?from=search#profileId-2105105 to move the llight away from the frame, I used one and it is working finr.

you are right. i have the old seatpost version (also had to put on layers of tape to prevent slipping) and just recieved the new one.
it is thicker and therefore fits very snug. plus the new sharp edged clamp everything holds in place perfectly.

wow, so quick! I'm jealous.

Is it normal for the handlebars to turn with noticeable resistance? I mean, they turn smoothly, but I can feel the brake cables offering resistance. I haven't cut the cables to the correct length yet, so they aren't too short. I've never had a fully integrated frame before. What should I check before cutting the GRX Di2 cables? The top cap is tightened just right, not too tight.
