Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)

Maybe. But honestly I think I'll go for it in size 52 and do some mobility work off the bike to get rid of the spacers. I'm too invested in this frame now.

I went to see a bike fitter. At ~173 cm tall with inseam of 79cm, the largest frame I can get is 520 due to the standover height  >:( . I was recommended to get the size 52 with 100/380 handlebar. Will have to run a chimney stack of spacers to get Bar XY of  460/595.

Unfortunate.

Similar question. Thinking of getting this frame, but can't figure out what size frame I should get. I know i can change seatpost/handlebar later once I get a bike fit.

I'm 5'8". Is there any other measurement I need to do?

@inv is there another frame besides these 2 you would recommend?

Hi,

I'm planning a bike build for my first carbon road bike. I've been riding around a Felt F70 that's almost as old as I am and I'm guessing is also undersized.
There's no way the math makes sense for mechanical shifting, since I could just get the X-Lab RS7 for the same price. I also plan to race on the bike next season, so looking for a racy (ier?) geometry.

I can't pick between the LCR017-D and the TanTan X68 (in size 54), since I see a lot of people getting the X68 without wheels from TanTan. Any advice on frame choice? If I go with the LCR017-D, I plan to get a AliExpress 105 Di2 and a Geoid PM500 power meter.

What would you suggest with frame choice?  And what about wheels? I am trying to keep the build around $2500 including shipping.
