What does the sticker name read? You request that as well?

The downtube reads Auraxis which is the planet from the videogame series Planetside. The paintjob is a tribute to the Vanu faction from that game. I designed a rough draft in MS paint (you can request the blank paintjob pdf from LC) and sent that to Chloe who then made the professional version. I requested a few changes afterwards because I couldn't kake up my mind on what I wanted.

In the end we settled on the Crystal Purple with Chameleon 01HS and on a discount for the laser silver decals (the original 300 USD they wanted were a bit much for me) which was possible because someone else ordered laser silver and we could share the sheat (if I understood her correctly).

Wow. Looks amazing. Congrats

Sounds expensive.  But if you ask locally for a paint job like this, its triple the cost. At least here in austria
Yeah, only expensive relative to the frame. Cheap compared to letting someone do it locally.

Is crystal purple the colour?  Looks stunning.  I'm going gloss over raw carbon, but keep thinking about a custom paint scheme.

They call it LCB-908GD / Crystal Effect [Purple]. I didn't get my frame yet but the pictures look pretty good. Custom paint is relatively expensive compared to how cheap the frame is. In total I paid almost double the base frame cost I think.

apparently 0 offset posts are a bit backlogged so my frame won't ship until those are produced next week.  but getting close!

Hey! That might just be my frame with the Crystal Purple BB in the background of you first pic!
Thanks for the info on the seatpost delay, they didn't tell me about that when I asked them for an update last week.

I think it's probably due to LC not beeing that big of a company, so that they don't want to order something expensive in bulk of which they don't even know customer demand. When you have one or two customers that want it per month, you're probably not going to waste expensive warehouse space on it.

Planning on ordering the frame in raw carbon with glossy clear coat. I want the LC logo in shiny silver. When I asked about this finish Chloe at LC told me that she can provide me with a sticker but I need to apply it. If I wanted them to apply it it was an 250$ extra. Was it the same for you guys ?

Unfortunately the laser silver sheats are quite expensive I can understand them not wanting to swallow that cost themselves. What they had offered me was a discount on the laser silver because another person had also ordered laser silver at the same time.

Two peoples stickers at once are more efficient then seperatly, since you can arrange them to take up as little sheat as possible when cutting.

If you're not in a rush maybe ask them to notify you if someone else also wants the laser silver decals so they can combine them and give both of you a bit of a discount.
