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

I did order theirs (GINEYEA Brand) and I am not impressed by the quality, since the inner drive side was slightly below the required diameter and thus rendered useless. I bought a SRAM Dub T47 (non wide) for approx. 45 EUR to use with my SRAM Force E1 Groupset. Just know, that you need to have the 52mm 16 Tooth nut to tighten the SRAM one, it took me another 2 days until I could finish my build because of that. Other than that, quality-wise the BB fits perfectly now, no complaints. I did two quick runs so far with the completed bike and I am quite happy. I like it better than my Canyon Inflite CF SL 6 which this is now the replacement for, after an accident with frame damage on the canyon.

I did however put in another order for the 0mm offset seat post and a spare UDH just for future shenanigans.

Is It normal that the bb slip like that at 15-20nmish? Is It due to the bb box?  Btw, very helpfull video, lots of interesting insights.

For those who have received the bike frame. Did you have to specify for the carbon or alloy clamps on the seat post or does it come with both?
