Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) As this thread gets longer and longer there are many questions that come over and over again.
I made a AI-summary based on the full content.
Hope that is helpful. If you consider it spammy, than I will also delete it, but it's hard to navigate 34 pages already, and also hard to link back to the answers :)

Pros 
  • High-quality carbon finish and construction
  • Competitive pricing ($625–$650 for frameset)
  • Comfortable endurance geometry with balanced stack and reach
  • Aero design with integrated handlebar and optional storage
  • Tire clearance up to 38C for versatility
  • Responsive and helpful customer support
  • Lightweight (~1000 g for size 52)
  • UDH-compatible for modern drivetrains
  • Custom paint and decal options available
  • Smooth internal cable routing and easy storage access
  • Well-finished seatpost and headset

Cons 
  • Long lead times (some sizes delayed until late 2025)
  • Limited clearance for wider gravel tires (>38C)
  • Initial confusion around UDH and chainring compatibility
  • No fender or rack mounts
  • Custom paint options can be expensive ($200+)
  • Steerer cutting requires care due to integrated cockpit
  • Polarizing seatstay design ("eye of the wind")
  • Larger sizes (58 cm) have longer wait times
  • No chainstay protector included by default

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.
