Just got the pics in of my painted frame, so imagine it will ship soon, I'm actually quite impressed how it turned out. I've only ridden very boring looking bikes so I'm a little apprehensive now about it being more of a looker and having people talk to me as I'm an amateur, overweight rider as well as a bit of an introvert! So we will see...



Looks great. Just enjoy the ride and don't worry about others!

The clear gloss finish is very nice. What size is this frame?
Did you request the lightcarbon sticker, or is it the default?

Mine is 58cm.
Yes had to pay for the decals - I originally wanted the mirror finish, however these go on top of the lacquer so went for these that are underneath the gloss.

Hi LCR-Community! I have ready the hole thread about this frame. Many thanks for all these information I can find here. Maybe someone can help me. I'm struggling with myself about the frame color. so many choices are not always good. ;) So I have a question about the raw carbon look with glossy finish. Is it possible to see the carbon pattern on all parts or look it mostly black? On the most photos the painting reflects the light to much, so I can not see.

Many thanks in advance!

That is mine. You can see Carbon in some areas, however I'd you're expecting something like a Time then you would be disappointed.  I really like the finish though and at the time I ordered it was effectively a no cost option!

I've had good luck with Silca carbon assembly paste but would not suggest it to you. With your luck, even epoxy might not stop your seat post from slipping.

Hope T47 are very good quality.

I have built 2 lcr018 frames now after a big crash on my first frame. My second frame came with this updated seatpost clamp 3 weeks ago, just like in the picture and is definitely different and has more bite to it. I never had problems with slip on my first frame after putting carbon paste on the smooth surfaces of the top and bottom portions of the seatpost clamp which touch the middle portion. Also dont put too much carbon fiber paste on your seatpost - less is more. I weigh 90kg.

My frame arrived last week and I have the newer clamp too.

I am waiting on a response from Jim on current pricing on the ti mount. I remember seeing the file for the 3d print, so I may have to look into getting it printed since I don't have access to a printer myself. Thankfully I did order an extra mount when I ordered the frame so I am not yet sol.

Including Paypal fee I added the ti Garmin mount for $51

Gonna start putting my frame together this weekend.

My previous bike was carbon frame but with alloy seatpost, so the LCR018 is my first bike with a carbon seatpost.  In the past I've clamped around the seatpost when mounting on a bike stand.  Is it still ok to do this with a carbon seatpost?

Yes still safest as I'd the worst happened you only break a seatpost rather than a frame.

Some thoughts about my my speed whobbles:

Without loads the bike handles very well, not whobbling even at top speeds over 90kph, very good and predictable steering, fast in twisties, no big issue with side wind.

I’m running a front dynamo hub so there is a bit of weight in the front wheel. The wheels are built by me, very true, very even spoketension, running since 25kKM

The whobbling only appeared with the Tailfin which is a common and known problem. Also I’m using the longer arch since I use the Tailfin also on my dropper Seatpost bike. The weight is even more in the back. Next time I’m using the Tailfin I will try some weight distribution to the front with a little bar roll. Also a little more preload may solve the problem.

I will report back.

Did you do any more running with the tailfin? I haven't got my LCR018-D yet, but would be interested to know how it rides with the tailfin.

Tailfin bags are brilliant.  Not cheap, but exceptionally well made and have non slip.mounting points and reinforced structure so that the bags hold their shape.
You can print out a template and try different sizes to decide which is best:

Just wondered if anyone has built one of these up and uses a regular bike box Alan to transport ?
I plan to do this, just wondered how complicated it is with the integrated handle bar?

Is the Garmin mount Light Carbon or another brand?
Do you have a link?

I am also done - nothing special (black glossy, 58). The built was really easy, but omg this seatpost....this is not easy to torque the bolts for the saddle. I already feedbacked this to LightCarbon, i hope they will change the design somehow.

I will give you an update after I've really tested it.

Looks stunning.  Do you have any updates since building?
Also could I ask how tall you are please?

**Frame arrived Yesterday
Packaging was on point and the paint looks incredible in person.
Tomorrow the build begins 🔧🔥**

Can I ask what the decals are like?  I've gone for the Laser Silver decals too, however originally I was told that they would be under the clear coat, but now Wendy tells me they will be on top.
Reason for asking is that I usually put frame protection tape on my bikes and am concerned if I have to remove it, it might take the decals with it.

Frame looks stunning btw 👍

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.

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