I bought the one supply by LC and I torqued it at 30 N.m (recommandation between 25-35 N.m) without any problem. I used those tools. It helps to avoid scratching the BB or the frame :

Hi everyone, this is my first post—nice to meet you all!

I placed an order for a size 50 frame in mid-August. The frame should be finished this month, and LC is expected to paint it in the Euro2025 color scheme next month.

Regarding the bottom bracket, I also ordered the 24mm Shimano-compatible version from LC. Based on the image already uploaded in this thread, it appears to be the Gineyea T478624. Referring to the specs on the following website, I assumed a 49mm-16T tool would be required:http://www.gineyea.cc/show-37-769.html (For some reason, I couldn’t find any T47 info on the English version of the site.)

However, I’m a bit confused because the HAPPE Bicycle T47 BB Tool that Mr. BeR shared doesn’t seem to include a 49mm-16T compatible option. Does anyone know the actual outer diameter of the BB interface where the tool makes contact?

Has anyone heard when the size 56 frames are expected to start shipping?

Not exactly, but Wendy told me the frame would be ready about 30–45 days after the order was confirmed. I ordered my 56 cm on September 20th,
so it should be ready sometime next week — though that might just be wishful thinking.

Thanks, I also ordered the orange one (12T for Rotor).

It's maybe a tool or (my) skill issue? The adapter i use with a wrench will slip. Maybe it's the adapter, I will try again with the orange one again once it's delivered. The surface area between BB & tool is just very very tiny, like a mm, so when wrenching I try to press hard onto the wrench to the frame, but nevertheless will slip, and almost scratch my frame at the BB area.
I used the adapter from "ALLT" which is all over Aliexpress or Amazon (where I bought it with a quick delivery window).

The tool I used (link before) (long threaded rod with a flat thick plastic and a spring) lets you compress the socket against the frame firmly when you screw it. It is almost impossible to scratch anything.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Finally an update, painting is finished and ready for shipment.
I had to change from the 400/100mm handlebar to 380/90mm, due to the ordered one is out of stock and would take another 2 weeks to make.

Also added the 15mm SB seat post for 50USD to my order, just to be a bit more flexible with the position and adjustment.
Here some screenshots from a video which Wendy send me.

Can I ask for your height and inseam? I am 183 cm (6') tall with a ~81.5 cm (32") inseam, probably going to pull the trigger on the 56 cm as well but want a sanity check.

Thanks!

181cm and 91cm inseam, long legs but shorter torso and arms. My current Kona Roadhouse is also a 56cm and has nearly the same geometry as the LC frame.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Just got an update from Jim that my size 56 frame will be shipped next week, ordered on Aug 28.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)  I've been working with Chloe at LC since last August and she's been delightful.  She's professional, responsible, timely, & knowledgeable - a real gem.

Today she showed me pictures of my frame so I could approve the paint (see below).  I didn't ask her for the actual ship date, in part because I was too excited to think abut that, but also because we're ahead of schedule.  Originally the build was scheduled for end of September, but with the crush of orders this got changed to end of October.  Plus two to four weeks for paint.  So here we are at the end of October and paint is done (although I don't know if it's yet fully cured). :)

I chose a conservative scheme (inspired by a LCR017 on youTube) because I think it will better hold up to the inevitable battle scars in its future.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) A few pages ago, there was a report of a storage compartment lid coming loose. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I'm trying to decide whether to order the frame with or without the compartment.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Finished the build tonight at long last.
What a beautiful bike - the raw carbon gloss finish really is amazing and I’m so glad I went for it.
Bike was so easy to build.

A quick 5 minute test confirmed the bike is solid as a rock and as comfortable as you would ever hope for - the geometry is superb. To be able to climb straight onto a bike and feel instantly comfortable and at home says it all.

Ultegra 8170 is absolutely ridiculous. Silent to the point where I wasn’t even sure I changed gear and so fast across the range.

Weighed in around 7.35kg with pedals which is right on target.

Hope to get an hour out on it tomorrow so hopefully will be able to report back after that, but initial impressions are really, really positive.
