The frameset was about $500 USD but the shipping cost was about $250 because they had to use DHL.  Before Covid I believe shipping was about $100 but took much longer.

Thanks.  Yes, that is the LCR015D.  I did the paint job myself and admittedly geeked out a bit on the whole process.  All done with rattle cans, water slide decals (laser jet printer) and a 2k gloss finish.  Oh, and gold leaf gilding.     

I did order the frame and, as I suspected, the hydraulic disc brakes work just fine.  I put the frameset through several inspection points since there is so much talk about quality issues with Chinese carbon and it passed all of them.  The only issue I could find is that the rear tire was very slightly off center by about 1mm but I can likely fix this with some minor modifications to the frame.  I have put about 100 miles on the build thus far and I am very happy with the bike.  I even ran an endoscope down the tubes to get a better look at the quality and it looks like they did a great job on the carbon layout.  I would definitely recommend this company and I love this frame.

I was completely unaware of this tech.  Now I have a whole new rabbit hole to jump down.

Great looking bike mtbluvr68!  I was thinking a very similar paint scheme with white frame and black inside the fork and rear.  My thought was to have them paint the whole bike white and then I can add the black using plastidip, which would also act to protect the paint in those high risk areas.  Not really opposed to mech disc brakes especially since it would allow me to fit a higher level groupset within my budget (of course the brakes would be off brand from the groupset).  Does your bike support hydraulic brakes?

Thanks RDY.  This is exactly what I was thinking.  The potential misinformation does raise some concern with LightCarbon on the whole.  From what I can tell they are highly regarded but...

I am planning an open mold carbon frame road bike build and am currently deciding between the LightCarbon LCR006-D, the LightCarbon LCR015-D, and the Dengfu R06.  I have two questions.

1. Does anyone have any experience with these companies and/or frames that could help me make a final decision?

2. The rep from LightCarbon insists that none of their frames can accommodate hydraulic disc brakes and only mechanical disc brakes can be installed.  I am finding this hard to believe and I think there might be an issue with translation here.  I see in this picture, showing the cable routing on the LCR015-D, what appears to be a Shimano 101 hydraulic disc brake being installed on the frame.  Has anyone installed hydraulic disc brakes on either of these frames?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Good Point emu26, will do.

I mean they even state that the frame is Di2 compatible.  Are there even Di2 groupsets with mechanical disc brakes?

Thanks for the responses on this topic. Here is a link to the LightCarbon frame: https://www.lightcarbon.com/lightcarbon-700c-aero-disc-brake-road-frameset_p35.html

Here is a link to what appears to be the same frame from Dengfu: http://m.dengfubikes.com/index.php?s=/203.html

Dengfu confirmed that hydraulic brakes work on their frame. 

I thought the same thing about the cable routing on the LightCarbon frame and confirmed with them that it is both the cable and housing that runs through the frame; even included an annotated picture to bridge the language gap. 

I was planning on ordering a LightCarbon LCR006-D frameset or what appears to be the same frameset from Dengfu (the R06).  I am interested in anyone's experience with these two companies.  My current preference is the frame from LightCarbon, but their rep Wendy insists that none of their frames work with hydraulic disc brakes?  I am sure some of you have installed hydraulic disc brakes on one of their frames right?  What about this specific frame (LCR006-D)?  Thanks in advance for any info.
