KC, Did you ever receive your tracking number for the frameset from LC?

I did recieve a tracking number and the package itself a couple of business days later. Since then I've built up the frame, though like many have experienced here, the stock BB that it comes with creaks, so I might have to switch it in the near future.

I noticed that as it creaked, the crank side-to-side play have increased so I readjusted it.

Haven't had any issues with seatpost slip either, it is torque to 8Nm spec.

You're right 45 days is approximately 2 months, but as per my last inquiry to Wendy, it totals to around 62 business days (i.e. almost a month of delay in production).

I asked why thats the case, still waiting for a hopefully informative reply.

For anyone following. I got a reply from Wendy stating that the delay was due to the HBR17 size I ordered, stock needed to be manufactured first.
With that said, I opted for a wider but similar stem length, the entire assembly is being shipped now and waiting for a tracking #.

Kudos to Wendy for offering 2 BC11 bottle cages for my troubles. I am happy with LC's customer service especially coming from an overseas market.

i ordered an LCR018 in size 50 on 28.05.2026 and received it today. central europe. if that allows for delivery extrapolation.

on 22.07 i received notice from wendy that they are out of any HBR17 in 380mm width. ordered 360mm instead.

in general they are very friendly and try to make things right for u. i would just ask when u can expect delivery

This processing timeline matches/exceeds what LC promised, 30-40 days production and 15 days shipping, which total is around 52 business days.

It makes little sense for my order to take 62 business days just for production! (including Chinese but excluding Ontario holidays)

Anybody waiting for their shipment of LCR018-D?

I ordered on Jun 23, Wendy told me it'll take about 30-45 business days. I emailed Wendy hoping for the frame to be ready and shipped by mid-August but alas, she said the production would probably be done by September 15-20, that's 22 days delay!!!.

I am very disappointed in that regard, along with the lack of updates whenever production timeline changes.

For context: I ordered a size 50 raw glossy carbon no logo, with 38x120mm. No fancy stuff like custom painting, which inevitably would take "more" time, hence me not opting for any paint.

I dont know what goes in their factory or if they're having carbon supply issues but I am very dissatisfied with Lightcarbon. I was hoping to build up this frame throughout the summer...
