Question for those who received their frame : has anyone ordered the T47 85.5 BB that Lightcarbon offers for an extra 15$USD ?

I did (haven't received my frame yet) and was wondering how's the perceived quality/weight of said BB. Not sure if I should keep it as a spare and source a higher quality BB or not.

I did order theirs (GINEYEA Brand) and I am not impressed by the quality, since the inner drive side was slightly below the required diameter and thus rendered useless. I bought a SRAM Dub T47 (non wide) for approx. 45 EUR to use with my SRAM Force E1 Groupset. Just know, that you need to have the 52mm 16 Tooth nut to tighten the SRAM one, it took me another 2 days until I could finish my build because of that. Other than that, quality-wise the BB fits perfectly now, no complaints. I did two quick runs so far with the completed bike and I am quite happy. I like it better than my Canyon Inflite CF SL 6 which this is now the replacement for, after an accident with frame damage on the canyon.

I did however put in another order for the 0mm offset seat post and a spare UDH just for future shenanigans.

So my frame arrived yesterday and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and delivery, even though the package looked beaten up and had a hole punched in while travelling around half the globe the contents of the package were in pristine condition.

I cannot wait to start building now.

Just a question for the guys that already got their frame: how hard was it to open the storage compartment? Either I am too stupid, or it requires a lot of strength on my individual frame. So far I was too scared to go hard on the lever. Inspection from the inside with an endoscope showed no abnormalities just maybe the screw is locked too tight. Carbon layout looks marvellous. Also, there is some kind of rubber buffer to prevent it from rattling I think.

Hello everyone, I ordered my size 56 in August and I am eagerly awaiting delivery right now. Wendy sent me a Tracking No. today, which unfortunately comes up without useful information as of now. Purportedly the carrier ticket was printed out on September 25th and thus far no new info in the tracking. To the guys who already got their frames: Did you have a tracking no. and was it also in this initial state for several weeks?
