Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy Thread!
Dear All: Really sorry for the dealying of the shipping. We must keep the frame in perfect quality so the production being a little long the expecting. Now size S being done and painted, so the guys who ordered S would be first to got the frame first. Then one by one, and we would keep you informed the picture of the painting and the shipping date also the tracking number. Now the groupbuy price have been ended, USD699/set excluded the shipping fee is the price for the sample order. Many thanks for your supporting and understanding. And we are always here, so any question feel free to contact me by email, since sometimes i will missed the message on forums. Thanks Haideli Eddy. July 11, 2021, 08:42:46 PM |

Re: LCFS 917 - 120/120 mm - MTB
The LCFS911 I have built for my wife and son, so I cant really evaluate them since they are too small. The LCFS947 is a great climber when its technical and speed is not important. I think its my first choice to really go technical places. It when its time to go down again its super stable , no drama at all. The LCFS958 is the great all-rounder. If i think that I will need to try and keep up with biking friends on trail-riding I take the LCFS958. Its faster, it climbs well, its good on the descents but compared to the LCFS947 need a little more concentration to be safe. And when its flat it can cary good speed. If i had to choose one of the, that's really, really hard. but i think it would be the LCFS947. The LCFS917 is far away from that and i really dont know what to do with it. But it so fun to build that I caould not stop myself when Light Carbon offered me the frame. I wantet to order a LCFS911 in my size but the delivery time was so long so they offered the 917 instead.

Haha, Stefan can post a build pic in nearly every thread. Hope you ordered an AM831 so we can see that build. Well, I just could not resist it, so I ordered a AM831 :-) August 19, 2021, 02:58:44 PM |

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!
Attaching a picture of my finished build. This frame size is "S". Only the bottom cage is missing and I haven ridden it yet, apart up and down the street to tune suspension and saddle height. Some interesting parts of my build:
As for my component list, most of them are reused form other builds or both 2nd hand:
I hope this is helpful to others.. August 29, 2021, 09:25:32 PM |

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!
Seat post: elita one aliexpress, I don`t like/use droppers: for me they are just more weight and more problems, I change my seat height stopping and using a QROld school They are pretty reliable now even my oldest working Easton Haven doesn't give me problem unless it is used constantly for 2+ hours then it seems to overheat and come up really slow. Oneup and even Brand X are really good value for money if you consider them in the future. Quote Handlebar: here I ask for suggestion, I am looking for a reliable carbon one without breaking the bank: I selected og-evkin, but they don`t say if it is ok for enduro use; another option is ican rise (it says enduro capable) but possibly I would avoid the 35 mm diameter barsOneup Components here again but it is 35mm. I mostly trust the bargain brand carbon for frames but I'm not sold on it for bars. I just recently moved from alloy bars because of getting absolutely jarred over multiple day rides and I only trust the quality control of bigger brands for something this important. It obviously isn't Ali cheap but it also isn't Syncros expensive. August 31, 2021, 06:40:19 AM |

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!
Thank you for the idea! Oneup claims that their 35 mm bar has an oval shape making it confortable like an old 31 mm. Probably it worths the investment; a failure in the handlebar could be an hospital trip. That will be exactly how I do it for nothing more than because my steerer is already cut for the same length head tube I agree though, but the disclaimer is to leave your steerer a little longer so you can play with it if you don't like it. I replaced a 20mm rise AL bar with the Oneup 35mm rise and it feels pretty good. I prefer a more aggressive position when the saddle is up but it hasn't seemed to cause a negative effect. This frame will have better geometry so I expect it to get better, some of the Hightowers come with 30 or 35mm rise bars so how bad can it be? Agree on all counts about bar reliability. I have had aluminum handlebars fail due to my own negligence, get torque wrenches people, and I have been very particular about it ever since. If I see EWS riders using it I feel comfortable with it. On the other side, I will buy the well known Chinese brand components for road and gravel since I don't full gorilla those bikes as often. August 31, 2021, 11:49:45 AM |

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!
No, the cane creek is a crown race that is 3mm thicker. You do not need the one that comes with the headset. With the included headset the Lyrik Ultimate was just about rubbing the frame size large downtube. I installed the Cane Creek +3mm crown race and now have over 3mm clearance.
