Dark17: I would say it will be similar to that Ican so cca +2° add to geo chart STA to have real STA. From my measurements saddle will be in reality cca 23mm further forward on LCR020 compare to my LCR018 both in largest sizes and 800mm actual saddle height even thou 018 have 73.2° STA and 020 have 72.5° STA.

It will be different depending on frame size and actual saddle height, I think it is safe to say you can expect around those 20mm saddle further forward.
This will be the first thing I will be measuring when I will get my 020. I will post measurements if it will help anyone, because I have no idea if Iam right about this, but you can not cheat math and geometry :).

Heck yeah, thanks for posting, I think it looks pretty good, I already have one coming :). The only thing for me that there does not seems to bee much of space for tire down around chainstays, but that can be photo illusion. Iam still hoping my rear rim witch measure 36.6 external will fit with no problem.

austtam: I might be wrong but I think stem angle is going to change depending on stem length to fit that 30mm rise.
So maybe 90mm stem could have 16° stem angle, but maybe 120mm stem will have just guessing 12° stem angle to fit in that 30mm rise dimension.
That would make more sense to me than on every stem length to have different rise, just have one (30mm) rise dimension and then alter stem angles, but that is just my speculation.

matqobee: Take a look at picture that I posted on page 1. I put bike geo chart to fusion f360 and tried to align it to real world measurements, it is not perfect but from my experience pretty close.

on size M from what is geo chart picture I calculated real STA 75.4°

ATGNI: Maybe those are just some random 3dprinted version 38 of handlebars just put on a bike. I believe from handlebars dimensions chart that was here previously handlebars lines looked a bit different and would trust dimensions chart, but that is just me speculating.

Those riser handlebars definitely will look better with longer stems 110-120mm (I hope), with shorter one they look a bit different, but still imo better than 30-40mm spacer stack :).

Just got picture of a real finished frameset, just one picture not much, but better than nothing :) (handlebars are still 3d printed in photo, Jim says handlebar are still in process of testing).
The only thing I dont get why they decided to turn around front thrue axle, but otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

PS: frame size in picture should be size 54

Dark17: Yeah Iam on a same boat, just because of that STA I would simply not be able to put saddle where I want it on Avenger, otherwise I think it would on top of my list.

 LCR020 has pretty much perfect geo for me so decision made for me :)

with this "S5" seat tube style, real world STA is maybe about 1-2° steeper then geo chart would suggest, depending on size and seat height.
So I would say even thou STA looks slack compare to normal bikes in reality STA would be much steeper than standard.

I would say this ICAN, XMCS VRT and light carbon LCR020 will have STA much steaper that geo chart would suggest.

I just tried to put geo reference picture to Fusion 360 and tried to align it. This is real STA that came out compare to geo chart in size M.
If someone have experience with this please pitch in If Iam wrong about this, I have never own this kind of geo on a bike, Iam just coming from my basic geometry knowledge :).

So every other bike that has two geo chart seat tube lines and seat tube does not come directly from bb center will be like this, STA much steeper than geo chart. Just another thing to be aware of when choosing a bike :)

I just build gravel wheels for my mate with maisve XMCS rims and I had conti 35mm at home for different project so I tried to mount them on those rims. I think in the end it looks pretty cool, pretty much perfect rim tyre combination I might build something like this for myself tyre on back is conti str 32mm on 28mm internal width measures 35mm. That conti 35mm on front on 32.5mm interneal rim width measures exactly 40mm.

I tried this setup on a quick ride with and I pretty much expected to feel no difference, but I really like that feel of grip and confidence that it gives me in fast corners and I really enjoy this setup.
Iam not the best descender in the world, but with this setup I had masive smile on my face on the bottom of my biggest local technical descend :), so I think this monster road mullet setup is future for me :)

pandaman: hanger looks good in correct position, that is why there that knob on frame is, as a stop for hanger rotation, you just rotate hanger on to that knob and tighten, job done :).

Aerodurance I did not torque it to a specific torque just by feel and to my perfectly calibrated hand :) it felt like maybe 7-8N-m.
I did put however a bit of carbon paste between aluminium lower saddle clamp and carbon seatpost and absolutely no problems so far.

Aerodurance barb are installed in hoses also it is ready to go, you just can not cut the hoses to lenght :), you can very carefully cut the barb from hoses after you cut them. Yeah I dont know why they are doing this and it is just stupid, but sram will ship you calipers and shifters connected together that is more work for factory and more work for mechanic and you need to buy olives and barbers also so there is no win with this :)

PS: those yellow valve caps are straight to a jail from me :) otherwise build looks pretty cool. Just a little tip you can with a bit of aceton on a rag easily remove those pink logos on ridenow tubes.

13
Aerodurance: Olives are already installed in shifters with shimano, behind hose shiffter nut :) so be careful so you dont install two olives, I have seen it done :).

Just stumbled on new lightcarbon catalog and noticed they added new 61 and 47 size for LCR020. I dont know how many people will care about that big one as much as me, but that is a lot of sizes to chose from for a lot of people, Thumbs up from me for that.
Just wanted to say this is shaping to be pretty much perfect bike for me, that 61 size geo is spot on for me (I would like to see more BB drop and steeper seat tube angle, but that is just nit picking).
So far it look I will be ordering this one as soon as it is available. Good job LightCarbon with this one, so far :).

AlvaroSL: That build looks pretty amazing. What exact white color that is, pearl white or pure white and what finish is on those xmcs rims? Thanks
