That is long delivery. What is that color called ? Almost looks Mercedes.

Jim only gave me the swatch identifier which is a very descriptive “YS 2280-1”.  I was going after Enve’s agave blue.  This is greener than that but I’m not mad about it.  And, the lengthy lead time was okay with me since I knew it was going to likely be a fall or winter project.

Got my frame today.  Orders on April 4th, add a slight delay for top tube mounts to be added, and again for the bars.  Wish I could say it will be built up soon but kids…

Just an FYI, I ordered my frameset with custom paint on April 16th and today I received pictures of the painted frameset. So that is 10 weeks and 4 days. Chloe says it will ship tomorrow :)
frameset size 54 and bars are 400/80.

Same. I ordered a week earlier than you but had top tube bag mounts included which added a week.  Looking forward to finally getting the frameset.

Has anyone received the V3 of the storage cover plate? or know when they will start shipping with them?  My frame is on order and probably still another month away at least so I'm hoping it will come with the revised door design.

I asked Jim late last week.  He said when I asked if my bike (ordered April 4) would have the v3 door:

“Yes, frames from May 10th onwards all feature the new downtube storage cover. The new cover locks when the handle is down and opens when it's up, preventing the handle from sagring and opening due to gravity.”

new to the forum.  really appreciate folks posting updates on shipping times, photos, and reviews!

i ordered mine or at least paid 4/4/26 (PayPal).  worked with tina who's been very responsive (same day or at most 1 day).

had a couple of weeks of back and forth in making my final paint choices (darker metallic red than ferrari red, fade to clear coated raw carbon, raw carbon LC logo on headtube).  not sure if that delayed anything (hopefully not), but told 2 months eta so we'll see.  i mean i hope it doesn't turn out to be 4 months, but +/- 2 weeks i'm ok with.
...

only wish light carbon  sold shimano group sets and it could be shipped pre-built. then it'd be perfect.  for now, i've got 2 months to shop for a groupset. 

...

I ordered on the same day and was told 45-60 days by Jim for delivery. On the groupset front, I've had good dealings with EuroBikeParts on Ultegra groupsets - you can customize just about every component of the groupset to your liking.  And, the price is very very reasonable.

I submitted my order earlier this month and just sent Jim a message to see if I could amend mine to include the top tube mounts.  I had no idea that was an option, either.

Edit: Jim just told me that it adds 15 days to the delivery timeframe (which at this point might be a meaningless estimate based on what others have said).

Hi guys, new here and to bike building in general.
How would I go about if I had a specific design. I added it below, made with AI. Is this a good enough photo reference for them to make the design?
I woul ask LC directly, but im probably not buying till end of the month and I dont wanna waste their time as a non buyer.

Very nice!  Jim may get a chuckle when you order because he and I went back-and-forth on color swatches until we settled on a very similar color to yours.  Ask him to see the color YS 2280-1.  That should get you close to what you’re thinking.
