The frame still has to ship, of course, so I'll report back once it actually arrives.
Reporting back!

After that post, I waited patiently for the tracking number, which I explicitly requested on Monday, 10 August, as I expected the order to arrive that week. I received the tracking number the next day - after the order had already been delivered to my door. The package arrived without any damage at all, so I was fairly confident the frame was fine, and a thorough inspection confirmed it.

I didn't have time to build the bike up during the week, so I finished it over the weekend. Note that I had never serviced or built a bike before. With a lot of YouTube videos, this forum and the necessary beginner mistakes, I made it work. The first 60 km are done with no issues at all (let's hope it stays that way).

I'll share some pictures, along with the specs:
  • Size: 50
  • Colour: LCB-01HS (Chameleon 01HS)
  • Bottom bracket: Gineyea  T47 BB(Shimano 24) (provided by LC)
  • Groupset: Shimano 105 Di2
  • Wheels: EliteWheels ENT 2.0 50mm
  • Tyres: Continental GP5000 28mm with RideNow 36g 700x18-28C inner tubes
  • Disc brakes: 2x 140mm ZTTO rotors
  • Computer: iGPSport BiNavi Air
  • Pedals: ONIRII SPD-SL
  • Saddle: Ryet 3D-printed saddle
Feedback is welcome if anything looks off, since this was my first build.  ;D
Happy to post more pictures of the chameleon colour in different lighting on request - I was unsure about it myself when placing my order, but I really like it.

Regarding the communication about delivery times, my experience differs from rcwsr's and Ghandy's.

Even before I paid for my order, the sales rep I dealt with, Joy, told me upfront that she couldn't commit to an exact timeline:
Quote
After payment, the production lead time for the frame and wheelset is 5–6 weeks, with an additional 3–4 weeks for paint.
Due to the high order volume at the moment, we cannot give an exact delivery time.

That was on the 12th of May. I paid the next day, on the 13th.
I appreciate that they were upfront about this before taking my money rather than after. I'd much rather have a vague-but-honest estimate.

Fast-forward ten weeks and I've just received photos of my painted frame in LCB-01HS, so the quoted lead time is holding up, though I'm at the top end of it.
The frame still has to ship, of course, so I'll report back once it actually arrives.

I asked Joy for a picture of the new cover mechanism - I added it in attachment.
