Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Clarification of some issues regarding the LCR018-D frame set,
1, the seat post have two options: 0mm offset and 15mm offset,
The second option was originally designed with a 20mm offset, but after testing, we found a 15mm offset to be more stable, so that's the final version.
The default offset for the seatpost is 0mm, as the 15mm seatpost is still in production.
2. about the max chainring
a. If use Shimano crankset, max 2x chainring 54-40T, max 1x chainring 42T (smaller ones are all fine).
b. If use Sram crankset, max 2x chainring 56-43T, max 1x chainring 54T (smaller ones are all fine).
if install the chainring Sram 56-43T with CL 45mm, there is a space width 5.8mm to the frame, it's enough,
if 1X 54T, the space is 7.8mm,
check the attached photos.
If you have more questions, please leave a message or contact your sales representative, or contact jim@Lightcarbon.com

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I was given a quote of $200 for that specific Eurobike paint job.
A simple chameleon paint job was quoted at only $120.
I ended up choosing raw carbon finish, lacquered with decals.

Hi everyone,

I’m considering the LightCarbon LCR018-D frameset and I’d like to know if anyone has experience building it with a mechanical drivetrain (e.g. LTWOO R9 or similar).

Is the frame fully compatible with mechanical cable routing?

How difficult is the installation compared to electronic setups (internal routing, bottom bracket area etc.)?

Would you recommend going mechanical on this frame, or is electronic shifting the safer/better option here?

I’d really appreciate any feedback or build experiences – especially from those who’ve actually used LTWOO or other budget-friendly mechanical groupsets on the LCR018-D.

Thanks in advance!

I dont think anyone has actually received a frame yet as it's just going into production.
I ordered mine a few weeks ago and have been told it should be ready sometime in October.
As soon as I have any info or photos of the finished frameset ill let everyone know.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I was told that my size 52 frame should be painted by the end of August.
And that it should be shipped in September.
Yesterday, I sent an email to ask if there would be any delays, but I haven't received a reply yet.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) LightCarbon quoted me 235$ for the 3 colour paint job. The design of paint job that I asked for is the same as what they used before on some of the expos.

So the total is  $1125.47 that inlcude frame with down tube pocket including handlebar  $659, T47 BB $15, paint job $235, delivery to UK $168 and paypal fee $48.47.

My frame size (58) will be available in November, plus 2 - 4 weeks for paint job so delivery is probably late december or early January.

Cost is now just 100 £ less than latest elves falath exp frame with handlebar. Hm, is this frame worth the wait ?

[edited] forgot to mention that maybe tax man will hit me with 20% VAT bill which will make this frame actually more expensive than elves falath exp that is delivered from UK

The Falath isn’t a like for like comparison - its geometry is more aggressive with a much shorter head tube.
Just to note that I paid $131 for DPD customs paid UK delivery.

I think big difference is the tire size, 38C vs 32C. I think the Falath is stuck at 32. The fact that you could use this frame for both road rides and some descent gravel makes it worth it.

Agreed with both statements. I would also add that elves falath exp's awkward seat tube position is forcing shimano di2 batter to be placed inside the down tube through the BB hole instead of the standard position inside a seat post. So any battery maintenance requires BB removal.   Not a big concern for sram or wheeltop electric group sets but I have a spare shimano 105 di2 to fit.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I put a 12 spd 105 groupset on my LCR017 from aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006151876993.html

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Hey together,
I ordered my 52cm Frame end of July and just asked Wendy about the timeframe. The frame is now in line for painting and will ready to send out end of October, unfortunately. :-\

Have also a half custom paint job in pearl white with the blue crystal on parts of the frame.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Got my pics from Wendy and tracking number. Hopefully here next week.
Went with the chameleon 08hs with gloss black logos for anyone else wondering.
