Hey all,
I’m following this awesome thread for a while and I’m now also in the process of ordering the new LCR018-D and can’t decide between size 52 or 54.

My details:
– Height: 176 cm
– Inseam: 82.5 cm (measured in underwear using book method)
– Flexibility: not great
– Riding: mostly endurance longer rides, occasionally on flats in aero position

I don’t have a comparable modern bike – my old Bulls was a 56, but it felt too big and isn’t a real reference point geometry-wise.

What I’m considering right now:
   •   Size 52 → 100 mm stem, 15 mm seatpost offset
   •   Size 54 → 90 mm stem (or possibly 80 mm), 15 mm offset

LightCarbon told me both sizes could work — it’s mostly preference. So now I’m trying to make a well-informed decision before placing the order.

From reading through this thread, here’s what I noted from other users around my size:
   •   177 cm / 82 inseam → chose 52 with 380/110 and 0 offset
   •   178 cm / 83 inseam → chose 54 with 380/100
   •   177 cm / 82 inseam → said they’d go 54 with 90 or 80 stem
   •   178 / 87 inseam → going for 52 with 110 stem

If you’re around 174–178 cm, I’d be super interested in hearing what you went for — or would go for — and why.

Also curious to hear from anyone riding a similar endurance-style geometry.

Thanks in advance 

Nice Bike! Congrats.

One question: Which BB tool did you use for your Rotor T4724?

Thanks!

Nice! When you have time, can you post a pic of your 30mm tires between the fork and the chainstays please? want to see how they look with "skinnier" tires. Thanks!

This is helpful information, I had incorrectly ordered 2x 160 mm rotors. Thank you!

I appreciate the effort you're putting in and I've seen your videos, but I'm still shocked by your limited technical knowledge and remain convinced that you've chosen the wrong size frame 🙄

Therefore, I unfortunately expect little that is truly interesting or informative from the video, and rather a lot of trivial and irrelevant content 😬

But that's just my personal feeling 🤷🏻‍♂️
