Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
That comes with buying a frame direct from manufacturer. If you get your frame on time, they either have it in stock or you got lucky. If it is delayed when it's being manufactured, that's normal.
Difference is that when somebody gives you an estimated delivery date because they just want to sell you a frame, it's not cool.

wendy has replied to you,A new frame will be sent to you.

Yes, I received her message this morning

LC is sending a new frame. I am really happy by how they handled this. Their customer service is legit.

From the video and pictures, it looks more like the outer black paint has come loose during packaging or shipping.
The frame will undergo multiple quality inspections before it is completed, and then it will be painted and the aluminum alloy parts with water bottle screw holes will be installed.
The quality inspection in these last two processes is only an inspection of the surface appearance.
Cracks may come from handling or rough treatment during transportation.

We will improve this based on feedback

If the aluminum inserts are installed after the frame is painted that process is most likely the culprit as that area seems to be the thinnest.

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I'm sure you can handle painting the frame with some online tutorials.   I would suggest using a two part epoxy clear coat available in a rattle can online .

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) I received frame yesterday, and am happy to report that some of the issues posted here the past few weeks were not a problem for me. 

Clear coat over a really great chameleon paint

Faced brake mounts

Fit of everything seems really great

I requested both round and oval seat clamps and both were provided, showing attention to detail

Will post pictures when its complete

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D) Recieved my frame today. Initial inspection tells me all is well.
Frame wise all seems well.
Material tickness around headset area is spot on, bearing seats are, well... REALLY clean.
Derallieur hanger and wheel axel mounts are as expected, ie clean and no paint spill.
Overall paint job is immaculate, did mine in glossy pearl white with LC logos.
If there is interrest, I can post pics after build is finished.

Cheers,
Chris

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Thanks. Unfortunately it's quite hard for me to assess since my other bikes are completely different ahah. Will try to get access to a canyon ultimate L size. Apparently they have very similar geometries.

I'm pretty comfy on the endurace for example L size, which is basically the same of all endurace. I know this one is more agressive, but just wonder really the difference on those 2 things. 110 stem and the seatpost setback. Bike size is definitely the 58.

I can imagine though thst with 0 setback I can still play with the seat sth like 15mm back. Will see but place the order in any case.
Why not buy both models (0 and 20). A seatpost costs around 50-60USD;  On short saddles (approx. 245 cm), you have fewer adjustment possibilities compared to a 275 cm saddle

Looks very nice  :D

Did you have the chance to ride it. If yes, how does it feel so far? Any problems?

Looking forward to get my frame and wheels.

Thank you.

The complete process of ordering with specifying paint, parts, and building has been a no issue (and pleasant) adventure so far.
Some really minor things are;
Tracking of the frame, a notice of a booked parcel and then nothing for 20days, and the last 1-2 days were packed with updates. Not a product quality issue.
Next minor notice, and im being quite picky now, is that the rear axle threads in place somewhat with resistance.
Hunch is that derallieur hanger and axle thread tolerances are not the same as the carbon parts.
To be honest, those are just small farts in a storm as comparison.

Did a initial 60min ride and pushed it a bit.
Im about 82-84kgs, Pmax of 1300w roughly on a super light frame, size 56 and my reaction is undisputed happiness.
Frame feels stiff and as per geometry of frame, right on target.
 
For a safety check of handlebar + stem check, I hanged my whole body wheight on the drops and jumped/rocked up and down. Solid as can be.

To summorize so far, _really_ satisfied.
