you all are lucky, jim does not even reply to my emails :-)

I'm still waiting on a reply from an email I sent on April 9 to Chloe on the status of my order.  March 4, when I ordering, I was told 2-4 weeks (but I figured 6 week at the soonest).   Guess I need to send another message to try again to get an updated timeframe.

Which frame size?

I was leaning towards the 56 based on their sizing chart recommendation. I used bikeinsights to compare the frame with some of my previous bikes and found that the 58 should be good. It was very similar to my old Fuji gran Fondo Classico and I found that bike to be very comfortable.

I placed my order in mid-January. They said it would be shipped before Chinese New Year or in early March. This week, I asked for an update on the shipping date and they replied that the frame would be ready at the end of April... so I find it hard to believe your 2-4 weeks.

Fair points.  I usually try to assume that when coming from that far away that the delivery dates are about half of what I should expect.  What I'm hoping for is- possibly foolishly - is somewhere in the middle of, so maybe 5-6 weeks(?)

I bit the bullet and confirmed my order this morning.  I was told it should be 2-4 weeks.  Now I sit *patiently* and wait for them to send me pictures of the painted frame.  Nervous but excited at the same time.

I am also 185cm with 86cm inseam riding a size 58 lcr018-d for a few weeks now. I'm using a zero offset post, 120mm stem, and 20mm of spacers. I'm very comfortable on it so far, happy I didn't go with a 56. I like the long and high setup.

I am about to pull the trigger but and going back and forth between the 56 and the 58.  I have a velobuild 168 in the 58 and I had to use a 90cm stem and feel a little stretched out.  Looking at the geometry the LC in 58 is about the same (9mm reach difference) but higher stack (about 25mm). The 56 is kind of the opposite oddly enough with a close stack height (6mm difference higher) to the 168 but bigger difference in reach (16mm shorter)

I'm 187cm with 86cm inseam.

That said, my flexibility is kinda crap in that I cannot touch my toes. I have the gravel Planet X Tempest in L with an 100mm stem and feels good.  The LC in 56 is damn near the same stack and reach.  The LC in 58 is pretty much the same reach but has an 18mm higher stack.

So, for an endurance bike I'm not sure which is the right option.  Open to hearing opinions.
