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

That was exactly my point. I do not expect that either.  However, when I asked the same question to LightCarbon representative they sent me a size chart table that claim that 56 size frame support riders up to 193cm which I dissregarded as correct.

LightCarbon representative also told me to measure my stem lenght (which is 87cm) and compare it with bike standover height which for 83.13cm for 58 size frame. Bike standover height should be 2-3cm shorter than rider's stem lenght which in my case is 4cm shorter. Hence my question if anyone of my size or even taller ride 58 size frame ?

I really like this frame but it sounds that there is no chinese frame that support my height. The similar problem I have with tantan X68 frame. Thier 58 size has even smaller bike standover height.

I am 1,86m and (if I remember well) 89cm inseam.
I took the 58cm (LCR017) after comparing it with the XL Inflite I am (mis)using as road bike and I'm confident it is the right choice even if I'm still building it.
I opted for stem + handelbar (instead of cockpit) because I'm using mech shifting (and I'm so happy I did) and I took additionally a shorter 100mm stem as back-up just in case.

I've  very little time to spare for the build and it will take another while, but I'm making progresses.
Brakes are mounted and bleeded, even if I'll repeat the bleeding for the rear one since I'm not happy yet.
FD is mounted and set.
RD is mounted
Next up are chain and setting the RD.
Bottom bracket and crank set also also done just like the seat post.

After a test ride I'll proceed cutting the fork shaft and that is one more reason why I'm happy of the stem+handlebar solution.
Otherwise I'd probably have to disconnect the front brake.

The overall quality is very good and I'm amazed of the many small pieces delivered along which make life easier.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Just sharing my experience with the bike. I initiated my conversation with Wendy on WhatsApp on the 18th of March. Was unsure of which chameleon paint to pick. She sent a lot of different photos of paints. Went with the LCB-02HS - same as another kind poster on here. Thanks for helping me decide!

Finalized & paid on the 19th of March. Received the frame on the 7th of May. Well packaged and nothing to fault.

I've done 2000 km on it now and done a 200k ride once. It rides really well.

However, I did manage to somehow break the seatpost clamp mechanism. The "plate" that holds it against the frame dislodged after disassembly. I'm unsure if it was due to user error or not.
I asked to buy 2 new ones on a Thursday & for it to be shipped through express shipping. They covered half the shipping & I had it in hand the following Monday.
I notice that the torque spec is lower on their website in comparison to the sheet of paper with torque specs that was included with the frame.

Regardless of this minor hiccup, I'm really happy with both the frame as well as the bike as a whole. It's built up with Ultegra Di2 & the Magene PES P505 power meter. It's a joy to ride. Would buy again ;D
