I saw LightCarbon’s reply on Instagram regarding their new frame:

“Two versions, with or without downtube storage. We showed the ‘eye of the wind’ design at the European Bike Show last year, and another brand bought out the ownership of that frame.”

I’m a bit curious about this.

What exactly do they mean with the “eye of the wind” design? Just a project name for the aero frame they showed?
And if another brand bought the ownership of that frame – does that mean it’s now exclusively sold under a different brand name?
Anyone know which brand might have bought it?

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Hi everyone,

I’m considering the LightCarbon LCR018-D frameset and I’d like to know if anyone has experience building it with a mechanical drivetrain (e.g. LTWOO R9 or similar).

Is the frame fully compatible with mechanical cable routing?

How difficult is the installation compared to electronic setups (internal routing, bottom bracket area etc.)?

Would you recommend going mechanical on this frame, or is electronic shifting the safer/better option here?

I’d really appreciate any feedback or build experiences – especially from those who’ve actually used LTWOO or other budget-friendly mechanical groupsets on the LCR018-D.

Thanks in advance!
