For those who have received the bike frame. Did you have to specify for the carbon or alloy clamps on the seat post or does it come with both?

The clamp fits both. (7x7 and 7x9 mm)

Okay, got my DHL tracking number this early morning. We will see how long it takes to arrive here in Germany
It's some third party shipping (Yaboobo-JBD) and not directly DHL at this state.

I haven't received my frame yet, so the following info could be incorrect.  My rep (Chloe) said that the clamps only fit one size saddle rail.  Either pick the correct size, or for a little more (I think $10, may $15) I could have both.  It seemed like cheap future proofing to get both.

YMMV

My rep (Jim) informed me that the included clamps fit both types of rails.

I was not informed of any clamp option at the time I ordered. I didn't even ask bescause it looks like the clamp design is top-to-bottom, as opposed to side-to-side. With a top-to-bottom type clamp surely it doesnt matter if the rail is 9mmx7mm or 7mmx7mm.

Have I got this wrong?

cycloholic:
Yeah, you are right. Usually when clamp clamps from top-bottom, you can use whatever saddle rail you want, when clamp clamps from sides then you need specific ones.

Just took my in-line seatpost out and it looks like it had some sort of long void.
Not sure if this is something to be worried about. The standard seatpost is smooth, but of course this is the one I want to use.
Have asked Carol via email but just wanted to get some opinions on here.

[POTOOOOOOOO]

There are a number of reasons why this could have happened, but ultimately it shouldn’t be there.
I’d imagine there’ll replace it ( and you can get free shipping on your mount )

Should you ride it? Hard to say from the picture. If you can get the same fit with the other post, I’d probably do that until this is replaced.

I’ve seen worse from other “ premium “ brands. So I personally wouldn’t stress too much.

The seatpost saddle clamp included fits both carbon and round metal rails. I have the frame and seatpost. Currently building it.

I mailed Wendy when my frame would be shipped. She replied that the production of  this batch of 56cm frames was done and they now moved on to painting. Shipping date would be between 15-20 november.

[KRoser]

I was told kind of similar date for shipping my 58size frame. I hope it will be true, cant wait to build my bike, even thou I wont be able to ride it because winter is here .

I asked about UCI Certification and got this reply "We submitted our UCI certification application for LCR018-D several months ago, but it took us a long time to receive a reply from UCI. They said that the bottom edge height of the eagle-eye design on our LCR018-D is 5mm, and according to the latest UCI rules, it must be changed to at least 10mm (the UCI rules have recently been revised, and even SEKA's eye design was notified that it does not comply with the new regulations). If this area is changed to 10mm, the eagle-eye design will not look good. Moreover, considering that we already have many outstanding orders and are busy with production, we do not plan to change the design or molds for the time being, so we are temporarily suspending the UCI application for this model."

[POTOOOOOOOO]

Unless you’re going to race it, the UCI Certification means absolutely nothing.

Many people wrongly assume it’s a sign of quality assurance or sone sort of stress test procedure.

Oh yeah I trust LC enough, just posting in case anyone has very serious ambitions
