Including Paypal fee I added the ti Garmin mount for $51

Jim quoted me $125 for the titanium mount shipped to the US,so I will probably pass on that option.

sorry to hear.  how much is light carbon charging for the titanium mount now?

when i bought my LCR018 in april, it was only $10 and they still included the plastic one too.  i'm sure there may be a shipping charge too. 
if you have a friend with access to a 3D printer, forum member @kroser has a file you can use to print yourself a new mount.

I am waiting on a response from Jim on current pricing on the ti mount. I remember seeing the file for the 3d print, so I may have to look into getting it printed since I don't have access to a printer myself. Thankfully I did order an extra mount when I ordered the frame so I am not yet sol.

My computer mount snapped when I rolled over a small bump during my ride this morning. Has anyone found an alternative mount that fits the three bolt mount on the hbr17 bars? Hoping to find something more durable than the stock mount and less expensive than the ti version.

I use a karoo 3 and it was attached to the bar via leash, so no damage to the computer thankfully.

Think this should work https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006842456107.html

I measured my compartment and it's about 65mm deep, so this might work.

Has anyone found a portable inflator that fits inside the storage compartment?

I am about to pull the trigger but and going back and forth between the 56 and the 58.  I have a velobuild 168 in the 58 and I had to use a 90cm stem and feel a little stretched out.  Looking at the geometry the LC in 58 is about the same (9mm reach difference) but higher stack (about 25mm). The 56 is kind of the opposite oddly enough with a close stack height (6mm difference higher) to the 168 but bigger difference in reach (16mm shorter)

I'm 187cm with 86cm inseam.

That said, my flexibility is kinda crap in that I cannot touch my toes. I have the gravel Planet X Tempest in L with an 100mm stem and feels good.  The LC in 56 is damn near the same stack and reach.  The LC in 58 is pretty much the same reach but has an 18mm higher stack.

So, for an endurance bike I'm not sure which is the right option.  Open to hearing opinions.

My approach was to try and match the reach and stack of my previous bike using bike-stats.de and make sure to align the bb of the two bikes together for comparison. My previous bike was lower and shorter without considering stem length and headset spacers, so I went with a little longer stem on the lcr018-d (110mm to 120m and about 10mm higher stack (which was actually less spacers overall). I also factored in a zero offset seat post for the lcr018-d because I always felt like I was pedaling too far back from the bb in my old bike.

I did have a bike fit on my previous bike, so I was pretty confident that the 58 lcr018-d was right for me. I'm pretty flexible and my lcr018-d feels a bit better to me fit-wise.

I went with size 58 now after having consulted Gemini. With 40cm handlebar, 9cm stem, seatpost without setback and will go most probalby without any spacers or at least with the minimum.

I'm 185cm with inseam 88cm.

Coming from TANTAN GR030 size 57 (gravel frame) as a 1x race bike with 28000km so far. Quite comfortable. Ok, not good looking due to 6cm spacers. 

I am also 185cm with 86cm inseam riding a size 58 lcr018-d for a few weeks now. I'm using a zero offset post, 120mm stem, and 20mm of spacers. I'm very comfortable on it so far, happy I didn't go with a 56. I like the long and high setup.

It's arrived! Took a bit of a punt on the paint; Is it blue? Is it green? It's so preeetty!  Looks really tidy, paint is excellent, contact points have been nicely faced and everything was really packed. Looking forward to getting it built!

I like the paint, very cool. FYI - you have your tires mounted backwards. I know because I've done the same thing a few times.

Very few miles. They'll be doing a century in February. I don't own a tensionometer and tend to not worry unless there's an evident problem. Dod you see issues with tension?

I haven't checked mine yet, but they seem nice and true and tension seems good judging by the pitch test. . I was just curious because I've had issues with tension on my mtb wheels (different beast).

Stunning build. That bar tape is a nice touch. The bar plugs are just the right touch of bling. I'm running that same wheel/tire combination on my Ti allroad, and the even-wider 9Velos on my gravel bike. I'm a fan.

Nice! I'm curious if you've checked tension on your wheels and if you've had to make any adjustments so far. How many miles do you have on the road set?

I finished my build last night. Size 58 with SRAM Force E1 and 9Velo LV Wide wheels with 32mm GP5000 S TR. I am 185cm tall with a 86cm inseam and I was torn between size 56 and 58, but I compared the geometry with my current bike and the size 58 with a 120mm stem matched the closest. I've been fitted in the past on my old bike and I am quite happy with the fit. I am running 2x 10mm spacers on the new bike, so I have room to lower the bars in the future if need be. I don't have a proper hanging scale, but I estimated about 18lbs total with a bathroom scale. I inspected the frame with a borescope before I built it up and it looked very clean. I'm happy with the paint as well, it is a variation on the Eurobike paint scheme with the marble red paint and matte black.

This was my first full build from the frame up and it went smoothly. The brake hose routing was a little tedious, but it wasn't too bad. I just used a small pick to guide the hose through the fork and bars. The brake mounts and bottom bracket areas were super clean and I didn't have any alignment issues at all. Like others have said, the saddle clamp is a little fiddly, but I added some carbon paste to the clamp and it seems to be holding just fine.

I haven't had the daylight to go for a real ride yet, but the quick spin around the block was promising. This is my first new bike since riding my 2014 CAAD 10 rim brake bike for the last decade+, so I'm sure it will be a massive upgrade for me.

My Force E1 front derailleur came with that bolt if I recall correctly.

You're totally right, I looked again and found it in the derailleur box.

For those who have built up a 2x drive train - did your frame come with a FD mounting bolt? I didn't get one with my frame or my Rival E1 front derailleur. Maybe I missed it somewhere.
