Lightcarbon LCR020 35c clearance aero frame

[KRoser]

Dark17: I would say it will be similar to that Ican so cca +2° add to geo chart STA to have real STA. From my measurements saddle will be in reality cca 23mm further forward on LCR020 compare to my LCR018 both in largest sizes and 800mm actual saddle height even thou 018 have 73.2° STA and 020 have 72.5° STA.

It will be different depending on frame size and actual saddle height, I think it is safe to say you can expect around those 20mm saddle further forward.
This will be the first thing I will be measuring when I will get my 020. I will post measurements if it will help anyone, because I have no idea if Iam right about this, but you can not cheat math and geometry .

For those who have reached out for details or ordered a frame, do you know if they have 0 and offset seat posts? If so, did they tell you the offset on the post? Glad they moved away from the saddle clamp design they used on the LCR018.

Nice to see the bearing cover looks like it'll be 5mm instead of the 10mm on the LCR018. Better look for those who will run no spacers.

When I ordered, there was only one seatpost option, wendy said it has 0mm offset

reagarding "Lightcarbon Standard Design". wendy informed that the red/white paint job is currently the one.

i also received some more pictures

In the side profile picture, does anyone feel the riser bar looks weird?  maybe its a short stem one that makes it look very awkward

Also, for an aero frame the boxy downtube is off putting for me.

agreed. the HBR020 needs some stem length in order to look sort of good.

But this is a matter of taste. I've been to the TdF this year and stood next to Pogis Colnago Y1Rs for a while. That riser bar also doesn't arouse me much, when looked at from the side :-) the whole bike doesn't to be honest 

LC posted this on facebook a while ago for eurobike. With regular handlebar. pic is probably AI made, but gives some idea what it looks like ready made.
i will probably use an HBR17 as the handlebar.

It's definitely an AI-generated image... it doesn't even look like the same frame!

Heck yeah, thanks for posting, I think it looks pretty good, I already have one coming . The only thing for me that there does not seems to bee much of space for tire down around chainstays, but that can be photo illusion. Iam still hoping my rear rim witch measure 36.6 external will fit with no problem.

I am considering getting Zen wheels with 36 mm rim width but maybe that's risky to fit in the rear..

I will be curious too see if all the handlebars have a true 30mm rise in the end, like discussed earlier in the thread. Are LC adjusting the measurements to give a constant 30mm or is it 30mm on a 100mm stem and then you add/subtract a little based on the stem length?

It seems from Patrick's video on the hyper 2.0 the bars seem to have more stack due to the stem length. Then bars like the Tavelo Rise will loose stack with longer stems, due to the negative angle.

I don't like the look of the positive stem as much but I do like the idea that we should be getting close to the 30mm stack from the bar. Can't wait to see some more pictures as they come out.

Hi, how did you order the frame? Because at least in the spanish version of the web I don't see the frame available.

You have to ask directly for the LCR020 via the contact form on the website or email. Only pre-order at the moment, current target for delivery is end of the year.

Thanks! Yesterday I contacted them by e-mail, I'm waiting for their answer but I'll take in account your indications. I don't need it now, I have too many bikes at home right now

I've finally got an email from Wendy at LC and it looks like they have put the $300 for a blank frame back on.

With LC branding and HBR20 = $869
Without LC branding and HBR20 = $1169

I'm not going to bother. LC sound like a bunch of shysters.

[afabians]

It seems LC has finally grown up.

After all, that’s not the least bit strange! In the automotive industry, if you want a "clear" version, you often have to pay extra. If someone doesn't like a particular brand's branding, they should just find another one they do like.

[Ludo]

That’s a massive change from a recipe that worked for them though. You may call it growing but for me they are changing business strategy.
 I may be in the minority but one of the appeal going to OEM was the lack of branding and being able to put my own. I enjoy individuality, if I wanted to belong to a group, I would stretch and get a specialized or Scott or cube or whatever

Wait, so with LC branding + HBR20, the price is 869 USD. And if without LC branding and HBR20 it's 1169 USD? Is that correct? Or regardless if there's branding or not, it's 1169 USD?
