My question is, is the frame storage door solid and no rattles, even with a full big water bottle on it?

Yes, its a fidlock system and really secure, good fit - zero rattles. I've put 1000km on the bike so far. It's a much better design than the cover I have on my Lightcarbon LCR-018D in comparison.

Congratulations on the new frame — the color looks great!
Did you notice any issues during inspection or assembly?
I'm also considering ordering a frame from Mondince.

No, it was perfect, build went smoothly, weather has been shitty but have put 40km or so on it and it's been fine so far. Would definitely recommend.

Will take some better photos at some point and plan to add some more logo decals.

How much was paint job with that paint?

Paint was LCB-8HS, single colour, full gloss no decals. I paid $140.  Have just finished the build and taken it for a couple of shakedown rides - photos to follow!

That looks very nice indeed! When did you order? Can't wait to see when mine is painted (also size 56)

Ordered on 11th November, size 54, arrived in UK 2nd Jan. I paid a total of $1045 inc paint, handlebars, shipping, plus spare seatpost, storage bag, and storage compartment cover.

Have you looked at the LCR-018D instead? It's not properly on their website curently but it's the newer version of the one you're looking at and there's a massive thread on the subject on this forum.  I've just taken delivery of one and built it up - it's excellent.

Are you planning to mount the handlebar directly on top of the headset? Looking for options to get most slammed position. May be there is 3d-modeling wizards here that can make a 3d-printable headset cover with less stack?

No I just popped the handlebars on directly to get a quick photo - will build it with at least a couple of spacers to start with (I'm not that flexible!)

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.

Haha, how embarrassing! 

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!

The spacer goes at the very bottom, between the metal ring that sits on the ball bearing and the base of the spacer. If you don't use it, it might rub against the frame on the top tube where the arrow is.

Are you sure? Isn't that one just for use if you're not using a fully integrated handlebar?  (Happy to be proved wrong; I've just built a GR201 clone and it had a similar piece with the frame I didn't need to use as I was fitting it with a Lexon Unox integrated handlebar set).

Received my frame on Monday  . Ordered at the end of October. Dispatched from China on 26th December, and recived on 5th January. Despite being delivered to the wrong property and left on a doorstep for a whole day in the snow, the parcel did make its way to me. On initial inspection all looks good and I am more than happy. The Ferrari Red looks as good as I had hoped. The paintwork is what I would call 95% good - which is as good as I need it to be. Excuse my messy room...



I think someone asked about fitting two storage bags in the frame some pages ago in this thread, and I don't think it was ansered. The answer is yes - two bags can be fitted! However, it should be noted that there are no internal brake hoses in the frame at the moment and the bags were empty. The first one needs to go in up the frame. The second one, down the frame towards the BB. You can't remove the upper one without removing the lower one first. I bought two bags and I though I would keep one as a spare, but it's good to know I can use both at the same time if need be.

Are you in UK by any chance? Who was UK side courier with - ParcelForce? Mine also dispatched on 26th but is yet to materialise, it's been stuck 'at delivery office' since 5th, the tracking seems really flaky.

Frame arrived a few days ago, well packed and in perfect condition. Really pleased with both the paint colour and the fit and finish - all the contact surfaces look clean and faced and the carbon looks tidy.  Build photos to follow!

New G3 build.  Fits 2.1 Thunder Burts with plenty of clearance at the front and enough clearance in the back.  I was hoping to be able to fit 2.25 tires in, but it definitely won't fit "properly".  Everything else is great, geo fits me well, no complaints.

Which front chainring do you have fitted there? Am looking for an aero one to fit on my new build and it looks like you have the same sram crank + quarq setup as me.

Nice, do you have a picture of it built?

Quote from: Samsonight on December 29, 2025, 03:27:12 PM
Yes that's why I was asking about 2, I didn't understand the person was talking about adding a third one.

Thank you !

That was me, I've had a mount point added on the top tube by the stem for a "fuel bag" rather than using straps, and another set on the underside of the bottom tube down by the crank which is a good place to mount a folding lock or another bottle if I want. It's quite common on gravel bike frames. Wendy was fine with it and didn't charge me extra.

Yes, got tracking details, was on a flight over the wknd so expect I'll see it in a week or so.

Still waiting on my Carboncranks... rolling chassis so far... 6,5kg at size 50...

That red paint is looking great out in the wild! Is that UK somewhere?
