Sure
I was ordering this set. So all in for 755USD.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Exln5xC
I also ask him to change the shifters for the ultegra ones. He say it’s possible but I am waiting on reply for the price.
Edit❗️
I was able to configure everything exactly the way I wanted. I also added the two CL-800 brake rotors and the Ultegra shifters. The total came to $892, which I think is a really good deal.
My order is:
1. R7100 Crankset 170 mm, 50-34T
2. R7100 Cassette 11-36T
3. ST-R8170 + BR-R7170 with L05A pads
4. CN-M7100 Chain
5. RD-R7150 Rear Derailleur
6. FD-R7150 Front Derailleur
7. Di2 BT-DN300 Battery
8. Di2 Charging Cable EW-EC300
9. 2× Di2 Electric Wire EW-SD300
10. TL-EW300 Tool
11. 2× CL800 160 mm Brake Rotors
Really happy with the setup, especially considering what’s included.

Hi Arthur,
all of the new frames are Z3 qulity, no worry it,
LCG072 size L raw finished in end of Sep or OCT, and add the paint time about 25-35 days, so will be end of Oct or later,
The production time for the new product will be longer.

« on: August 17, 2026, 06:54:09 AM »The final update I will give on the v3 cover unless an issue arises. 60km ride and drove 45 minutes each way with the bike bouncing/shaking on the bike rack. The lock did not move and no rattle I noticed from the cover. I would call this fixed. 100% recommend getting the v3 door if you have issues with your current.
Jim told me today
„ now all storage cover are V3 versions after May“
so happy to hear that this problem is fixed

« on: August 13, 2026, 02:45:43 PM »curious why you're thinking of going from a 58, which you say fits quite well, to 54? assuming the geometries of the 2 bikes is quite different (commuter -> aero endurance road bike), dropping down so many sizes will only increase the change.
is the goal to go from an upright commuter to a more racy bike? are you ready to deal with the flexibility challenges or discomfort that comes with that change, or needing to run max spacers and potentially need a riser handlebar?
otherwise, why not pick a size closer to your current size? not trying to be critical per se, but not quite following the logic.
Yeah, I think you have a fair point. I was also very happy with how the 58 fit me, so going all the way down to a 54 could definitely introduce more changes than I initially considered, especially given the different geometry of the bike.
I am looking for a more sporty/racy position compared to my commuter, but I’m also aware that a 56 with a different geometry could already give me a significantly more aggressive position without necessarily going that small.
So I agree that I should probably look more closely at the 56 rather than assuming the smaller frame is automatically the better choice. I definitely don’t want to end up compensating with max spacers or a riser bar just to make a 54 fit.

I'm in the final stages of putting together my order from LightCarbon and wanted to get your opinion before I pull the trigger.
My old bike was a Bergamont Grandurance RD7 in size 58, which actually fit me quite well. However, it was more of a commuter bike rather than a proper endurance bike.
I've now decided to go with the LCR-018D in size 54. For the handlebar, I'm planning to use a 400 x 100 mm setup (400 mm handlebar width / 100 mm stem).
A bit about me:
Height: 180 cm
Inseam: 82 cm
Shoulder width: 40 cm
My old bike also had a 400 mm handlebar with a 100 mm stem, which felt quite comfortable for me.
Do you think this setup makes sense for my measurements and the LCR-018D in size 54? I'd really appreciate hearing another opinion before I place the order.
