Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
I finished my build last night. Size 58 with SRAM Force E1 and 9Velo LV Wide wheels with 32mm GP5000 S TR. I am 185cm tall with a 86cm inseam and I was torn between size 56 and 58, but I compared the geometry with my current bike and the size 58 with a 120mm stem matched the closest. I've been fitted in the past on my old bike and I am quite happy with the fit. I am running 2x 10mm spacers on the new bike, so I have room to lower the bars in the future if need be. I don't have a proper hanging scale, but I estimated about 18lbs total with a bathroom scale. I inspected the frame with a borescope before I built it up and it looked very clean. I'm happy with the paint as well, it is a variation on the Eurobike paint scheme with the marble red paint and matte black. This was my first full build from the frame up and it went smoothly. The brake hose routing was a little tedious, but it wasn't too bad. I just used a small pick to guide the hose through the fork and bars. The brake mounts and bottom bracket areas were super clean and I didn't have any alignment issues at all. Like others have said, the saddle clamp is a little fiddly, but I added some carbon paste to the clamp and it seems to be holding just fine. I haven't had the daylight to go for a real ride yet, but the quick spin around the block was promising. This is my first new bike since riding my 2014 CAAD 10 rim brake bike for the last decade+, so I'm sure it will be a massive upgrade for me. January 09, 2026, 09:42:39 AM |
