Hi there,

I am interested in buying this frame. Do you guys think LightCarbon do any discounts during Black Friday or 11.11 "Single day" ?

They usually don't for new frames

Hi, could you provide a contact email or WhatsApp number? I've written to the general email address on the website but haven't received a reply. Thanks.

Nice, so its tire clearance is pretty decent. I think this seals it for me to get this over the 18D for a two wheelset set up.

Can apparently fit 52 to 54mm. 62mm width total between chainstay & seattube.

Hopefully this bodes well for my planned 2x setup.

Thanks so much for the post, guys, but now you're making me second-guess the size I should get. I'm 6'1" (187 cm). What would you recommend?

It's quite difficult to advise on bike sizing in general, even more so without any other references of other bikes that fit you or your inseam/torso measurements and ratios.

Would suggest getting a full bike fitting though they can be expensive. Find other posts that have similar measurements to you as well.

I'm almost  decided on the Medium for this frame.

Compared with my SL9, the Medium gravel frame is already a little taller and a little shorter. My SL9 is 544mm stack and I currently run 18mm of spacers, whereas the Medium gravel frame is 565.3mm stack.

If I run the HBR018 bar with its 8mm rise and around 10mm of spacers, the front end should work out roughly 20–21mm higher than my current SL9 position. That sounds about right to me for gravel without making it excessively upright.

On reach, the Medium frame is 7mm shorter than my SL9, and the HBR018 bar itself has 69mm reach compared with 75mm on my THM road bar, so that's another 6mm shorter.

So even if I stick with a 120mm stem, the overall cockpit is already about 13mm shorter than the SL9. If I went down to a 110mm stem, it would be around 23mm shorter overall.

At the moment I'm leaning towards keeping the 120mm stem and 380mm bars, with around 10mm of spacers. That should give me a slightly higher and shorter position than the road bike without making the gravel bike feel completely different.

I'm still considering the HBR20 30mm riser bar as well. If I ran that directly on the Medium frame with no spacers, it would put the front end roughly 33mm higher than my current SL9 setup, so noticeably more upright, but still potentially quite sensible for a gravel bike.

Like anything when you're trying to pick another bike, it's a bit of a minefield balancing fit, looks and how you actually want the bike to ride. Keen to keep reading everyone's thoughts and see what other people have done.
