Lightcarbon LCR72 "aero racing gravel"

[redpx]

Do we know what the max 1x chainring size is for this frame?

There you go

There you go

Cheers. Going by this info apparently shimano chainrings sit closer to the frame. I was not aware of this.
If true I'd imagine Shimano to have better chainline in compromise for some top-end. Interesting..

To bad the smallest available model is to big. reach is ok, but stack of 547mm is extreme. The size 47 LCR018 is 519mm.

It's a gravel bike that's conforming to modern higher stack standards. Plenty of other options out there for a more aggressive position.

Is it possible for anyone to post a photo of the frame with 30-32mm tires?

I am strongly considering this frame for at dual purpose setup.
Otherwise i might go to the van rysel rcr-g.

It looks so much better than the VR... also 1/3 of the price...

I'm torn between buying this frame or a mondice 376, or an SP Cycle G028. I'm not really sure what size to get. I currently have a 2022 Cannondale Topstone in a size L. I've been trying to compare the geometry i don't understand much of this. What do you think?

The LC is much more aero than the other 2. Aero Seatpost is what sets it apart. Also the S5 like seattube and longer aero headtube. Exactly why I chose this one.

Using sites like BikeInsights.com help a ton, though it doesn't take into account stem and handlebar reaches, etc.

Here is your Topstone vs an LCG072 in XL.

Looks pretty similar, your saddle will be further forward by a bit due to seat tube angle. The extra 6mm reach can be accounted for with a shorter stem unless you think you can handle that.

I comepletely agree about the looks, but I am tall rider and the 536mm seat tube is a bit short and the seat post will look very tall/long on my fit. (83cm saddle height)

I can also buy the Van Rysel without VAT, so it helps

[Eddy_Twerckx]

Dang, this would just about be the perfect bike if the reach were longer.

Filled out the order questionnaire a couple nights ago for an S frame. Just waiting for reply and an invoice 😂

EDIT: Got an email late last night (11/4-5) asking for more details of what I'd like. Progress!

Curious to see their price 😁.

Just received the size M frame in matt black yesterday. Shipping started on October 30th, and it arrived in Canada on November 10th via UPS. I paid an additional $30 USD in duties and taxes.

The frame arrived in a well packaged box, with every part of the frame individually wrapped in foam for protection. Some parts were wrapped in many layers of foam for extra protection. Overall, matt black finish and build quality are acceptable. See attached pictures for reference.

One thing worth mentioning is that the HBR18 has a flattened section along the drops for improved ergonomics. This detail wasn't evident in the catalogue photos.

The headset bearings seat nicely and firmly in the head tube, and the bottom bracket threads smoothly into the BB shell by hand. No facing or thread chasing was required.

weight: frame 1202g, fork 489g, seatpost 203g, handlebar 320g, total=2214g.

Unfortunately, the build is going to be delayed because the T47 threaded bottom bracket included with the frame shipment appears to be defective. Both BB cups will thread into the drive side, but neither will properly engage the threads on the nondrive side. This not is a Lightcarbon issue, as the bottom bracket itself is manufactured by Gineyea. I'll be following up with Lightcarbon to see if I can get a refund or replacement. The irony is that one of the reasons I ordered the bottom bracket directly from Lightcarbon was to avoid potentially ordering the wrong standard.

Hey,

Do you think you can provide the seatpost measures like the width and the length of the seatpost base. I want to check if a Seka seatpost can fit the frame.

Thank you
