Re: Gravel frame recomendation for a shortie
I have an ICAN GRA04 Frame. So its possible to get one. But I've heard from other whom asked for it, and were not able to buy one. I dont now why they sell it to normal customers sometimes, and sometimes not. But you can give it a try. But I have to warn you. It took ICAN more than 3 month to deliver it (simple 2 colored custom paint job), and the storrage in the downtube is just a hole with a cover. You have to build/3D print something to use it properly. Otherwise everything you put in there will fall down to the BB.

Yeah I read about your experience on the other topic, that's why I have finally decided to go with the Elves Mori.
I bought also their handlebar together (50% discount). They contacted me today and it will take 3-4 weeks to manufacture + 2-3 weeks delivery. Let's see how it goes!

Thanks again for the recomedations!

Send the order email yesterday to them for the '18, Size 50 - availability from October! Decals/paint is extra. -> The mail was also from Wendy in the evening, seem's they are quite busy!
I might go there again on Sunday to confirm paint-job, ask about price levels for paint-jobs and check out the version with compartment. Also will ask about the compartment door - the Carbonda had one with integrated pump + minitools.

if you want bigger tire, change the frame to LCG074-D which max tire 50C,

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Finished the build, had my first ride today!

Great ride feel. Very soft feel, especially with those 35C tires. But the frame, maybe the special seat-post takes meaningful amount of road vibration and bumps. On the other hand, it feels also stiff when putting in a little power.
Even though I reused my 105 DI2 it has the New Bike Feel. Very agile with that short handlebar (80mm). Handlebar is a little to narrow in the end, If I could, I would probably go wider (38cm -> 40cm), as my previous HB had all flare, but this has none. Anyways, that's more Aero, right?!  8)

For building up, my key learnings:

  • Make sure that you have the right BB and the right tool for the BB, as I already wrote before I made mistake here. Also there seems to be a couple of different diameters, numbers of notches etc. for T47 BB tools.
  • Fork cutting - I would say this is the most risky situation, as you need to cut with an angle AND - according to the one page manual from LC - "make sure there is a gap of 4-5mm between the top of the stem and the expander plug". Even the usual tools on Alix are only useful for cutting 90º - I build a contraption with miter box + angle to get it into the right direction but used a jigsay in the end anyways. The cut is not particular bad, but not beautiful either - If more experienced builders can share their process here, that will probably be helpful You probably have to cut 90º - I didn't read the "manual" very carefully. Check next post.
  • Besides cabling the nasty brake hoses through handlebar + frame there were no other major obstacles.
  • No sounds from the frame, even putting in 1kW, no squeaks etc. - BUT only the rattling of the rear brake hose in the frame when moving vertically with the bike - As some of you mentioned: having a liner may help here. I tried tape, but ofc the hose will move inside the frame when you turn the handlebar and the tape will cut loose

  • SRAM Rival XPLR XG-1351 10-46 cassette
  • SRAM Rival chain

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
For those of you that are going for a 1x transmission on this frameset like me, what do you plan to do regarding the pre-installed front derailleur hanger/mount:

1. Simply remove it and just tape the 2 remaining holes;
2. Remove it and use some kind of cover to hide the holes (something like the one Specialized has for the SL7 frame comes to mind, picture bellow, but it may be frame specific, idk);
3. Use it to install a chainguide/chaincatcher;


I'm thinking about mounting this to the frontderailleur mount:
