Nice bike!

Still waiting for my frame, also a 52 but gloss over raw carbon...

Can you tell me the saddle height in that picture (bb center to top of the saddle)?

Thanks.

It's a size 50, but my saddle height is 69cm 😉😄

What’s the common delivery time to Europe / Germany? Mine was shipped Nov 29., do have a DHL tracking number, but it’s still at “awaiting parcel”! I know this is just the last step when DHL has received it, but there are no further tracking numbers to track the whole transit…

POTOOOOOOOO

Christmas came early, my size 50 frame arrived yesterday. Happy with the quality and looks sharp. Seems to have sustained damage and speaking with Chloe now. I am leaning to shipping damage as the mark is obvious. Hearing LC has good QC, I don't think they would have shipped it, looking like that. No doubt they will help me out, as Chloe already answered my first email sent last night.


Ah shit, that sucks.
Whenever I open a picture it’s MASSIVE, so I can only see bits of it as I scroll around. ( not sure if this is a setting I can change ?)

Is the damage on the headtube or the seat tube ?
Either way, I hope you have a speedy resolution

Altough its a workaround you can zoom in and out in your browser
(Ctrl + and Ctrl - or Ctrl scrollwheel)
Or
You can rightclick on the image and "open image in new tab" or something similar in your browser

Mine got shipped the 28thNov  to Germany and I’ve just received an DHL Mail, that it’s going to be delivered tomorrow. Before that, same status of tracking since 28th

I click on the file name and open it up separate. Helps prevent that issue.

The damage is on the very front, right at the bearing race/bearing cap would go.  I am optimistic LC will handle this properly. We will go from there, although due to time difference I expect a few days to come to a resolution.

Mine was shipped 4-12 via DPD. Also, still the same status since then: Parcel waiting for pick up....

Since there plenty of people who consider HBR17 bars, I ask here instead of creating new topic. How are they and how much did you pay for them? Are they stiff enough? Is there any problems with them so far? I've had HBR11 before and they felt like a noodle.

There are not much sub 300$ options which can deliver 130+ stem and have good weight/stiffness.

I created a post about them a few weeks ago. Take a look at that.
Early indications are good, so hopefully that’s correct as I have three bars on order.
They’re 128 USD per pair, but postage is expensive if you’re only buying a single bar. As I’m also buying an 18-D everything is bundled together.

Thanks. No feedback on their performance so far...

seems like a complex paint job adds a big delay, i ordered early august and my 54 is finally ready. the last few emails i was told DPD prepaid is unavailable to the UK so is UPS with a declared value of £120 ok, i said ok because it seems like there isnt much choice but maybe i will get hit with fee's  i hope its atleast faster like she said

If it makes you feel better I received my LCR017 in the UK via UPS in July and it came through without any additional payments.

Shipped to Canada, UPS at $120 USD value. I paid $41 CAD (for tax, duty, brokerage and whatever else UPS threw in there). I hope for your sake, it's not too much.
