Ive been waiting for your pics as i havent put my order in for the same paint scheme in a 50. It looks better than I expected! I like that its more chrome forward than a regular silver. Congrats on the pick up and am looking forward to your complete build.
I'm glad you like it! Personally, I think the chrome silver combined with glossy black looks even better than the chronos finish on the SEKA Spear. In the photos, some areas, like the fork, probably appear darker than they actually are. I'm really curious to see how it will look in daylight and fully assembled!

Waoo this chrome paint looks insane. looking forward to follow the build-up. I wonder how much weight does it add on the frame ( not relevant ) but guess 2-300grams ?

Agreed, it looks so good. Especially with the tube shapes the chrome reflections are more pronounced on the LCR018 than on the LCR017. Looking forward to seeing how it looks like in natural light. Can you take a million pics when it arrives and of your build please!!

That would be much...I hope a little less.

Got my pics from Wendy and tracking number. Hopefully here next week.
Went with the chameleon 08hs with gloss black logos for anyone else wondering.

That looks fantastic!!
Can I ask - do they put clear paint coat over the decals? It appears that way.

Who is the best person to contact at Light Carbon? Do people just use the info email address or is it preferable to contact a particular person?

I dealt with chloe@lightcarbon.com and she was 10/10 to deal with.

I'm about to order this frame, but still not sure about the design. I like the raw carbon look, but I already had a bike like that. So I would like to have something different.

I would like to see how it looks like if the black on the Eurobike design is changed with the galaxy colour.

Is anyone in here a bit handy with photoshop or something to 'design' this?
I tried with chatgpt, but I'm probably too stupid for this as I get something completely different every time  ::)

Try Gemini. It's MUCH better at this task for some reason.

What length expander plug comes with the frame? Probably 30mm? Anyone order a longer one, any recommendations?
