Carbonda FM1136 There will be a new model from Carbonda, the FM1136.
The geometry of the FM1136 is similar to the FM1056. However, some points are new:

  • it is lighter. T800 and T1000 fibres are used
  • the design is more aerodynamic
  • the chainstay is thicker
  • the fork no longer needs a fork crown.
  • BSA 68 thread. No more pressfit
  • still space for 32 mm tyres
My frame comes from the sample department of Flybike (Carbonda). The workmanship of the frame was awesome.
Weights of my frame (Size S) 1011g, fork (uncut) 502g.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Okay okay... A little spoiler.

But more really only after assembly.
Bottom bracket and wheels are still on the way  :D

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Here is my work-in-progress. Frame, handlebar and wheels are from LC.
For the decal, I simply provided the font and there is a little graphic on the headtube where I used simple online tools to reduce a picture to black and white and then made the background transparent.

I am very happy with the build quality so far.
And the communication with LC during the whole process was really, really great!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Here are a few pictures.

I weighed the frame and fork on the kitchen scales ;-)

Frame: 911 g
Fork (uncut): 436 g

I think these are outstanding values. Especially as the whole thing has been painted.


Also attached are the desired detailed pictures.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I can confirm the weights. I also have a 54 cm super light and (again) kitchen scale says:
Frame incl. rear hanger: 926.5 g
Fork (uncut): 406.9 g
Handlebar: 329.4 g
Seatpost: 164.9 g

Have you also had this gap reported by some in the head tube (upper bearing and headset)? Thank you for your contribution. ;)

It actually looks good on my bike and I don't have any gaps - and I haven't even finalized everything yet.
I have a different handlebar because the handlebar stem units didn't fit me in terms of dimensions, but that has nothing to do with the gap...

I have also assembled the bike so far and so far I am very satisfied.
I'm having my fork shortened by a friend in the next few days.

I'll probably be able to show you the finished build by the beginning of next week at the latest :-)

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I had the opposite headset issue on my Yishun R086-D. Had to spend about 20 minutes sanding down the bottom edge of the plastic headset cover to prevent it from rubbing on the headtube. Apparently this is more common than I realized so it wasn't a big deal.

Looking ahead to 2024 I don't really have any new frames that really catch my interested to build/review. The LCR017-D is probably the only one at the moment (especially the lightweight version). However, I can't imagine it would ride significantly different than my Yishun R086-D

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I've just finished the bike and don't want to withhold the first pictures from you.  :D

If you like, I'll be happy to create a separate thread for the build, with decent pictures and what the riding impression is like.

As it's a pretty wet winter here at the moment and I'm working until dark, I won't be able to start the first test drive until next weekend at the earliest  :'(

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Hello everyone,

a short update on my experiences with the LCR017-D in combination with the Elite Edge 45 mm.

I have just returned from my 1-week training camp in Mallorca and after almost 1,000 km and thousands of meters of altitude, I am more than happy to have built this bike.
It just feels right and is a true all-rounder.
At the front in the wind in the group on the flat - up the mountains - down the mountains. There is nothing to complain about.

Here are a few pictures from Mallorca.
