Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my experiences with the LCR18 and perhaps ask for some help.
I ordered my frame on May 19th, and it arrived on Monday, July 20th (size 56cm, raw glossy carbon).
The packaging and the parcel itself survived the shipping to Germany well. During the build, I had major issues routing the 105 Di2 cable—likely due to sharp edges in the chainstay junction area. It took me two hours to get the cable through, even using a routing tool.

Build specs: 105 Di2 groupset with Magene P515, old carbon spoke Lightcarbon wheelset; total weight came to 7.9 kg including SPD pedals from ali. Carbon elitaone saddle.

I noticed creaking on the first ride, and it got significantly worse over time. I initially used the included Gineyea bottom bracket. I thought, "Okay, it must be the BB" (like the issue a fellow the English YouTuber had), so I installed a new Kaktus ceramic BB I had bought beforehand. After just 5 km, that one started creaking too. I wondered if it might be the old Magene P515 crankset, that I reused, so I swapped it for a brand-new, unused 105 crank, but the creaking returned after 5 km. I checked the frame for cracks or loose BB cups (I always apply plenty of Shimano Premium Grease before installation), but found nothing obvious. Checked and greased all of the true axles, Based on where the noise is coming from, it has to be the bottom bracket area. Strangely enough, it also creaks when you flex the frame from side to side while applying a bit of pressure, or even just when you step on a pedal. However, when the bottom bracket is removed, there is no creaking, even with lateral pressure.

Now I’ve ordered a Praxis Works BB and hope that fixes the problem.

Have any of you had similar experiences?
Thanks in advance.

Photos will follow once I've finally managed to assemble it without any creaking. 

I’m pretty much ready to place an order for my frame and just wanted to sense check my frame size choice. I’m 179cm tall with an in seam of 83cm. On most other manufacturers sizing guide I would choose a size M or 54cm and checking with the geo comparison site the M seems ok. However the sizing guide on LC website I fall into size 52 (s) albeit on the upper limit. So just wanted to check here that owners are happy with their sizes and maybe their guide is not accurate for selection.

Some more photos.

This is the first time I'll be building up a bike. I've bought everything I need, but I have one question I can't find the answer to: I've read/seen that sometimes spacers are required between the crankset and the bottom bracket, could you tell me whether the spacers are included with the LCR018-D frame kit?

Thank you

Just document the issue and contact LC. I got a replacement. In the meantime I got the old one to sit right with a layer of thick plastic. The PU-bag my OEM-packed SRAM Force came in.

Am I understanding the instructions correctly that you basically have to cut the fork 8mm below the top of the stem (4mm plug + 4-5mm space on top)?

Hey friends, my saddle slipped today on an uneven path and I wanted to ask you how tight you tighten the screws and whether you use carbon paste or something similar on the contact surfaces?
