Please do share as I am surprised that the 52 would work for a 177cm tall rider - but I have never been one to fully understand the geometry measurement tables for any bikes and how they would apply to me.

Indeed I always tend to run the slightly smaller frame, but finding the right geometry is a very personal thing. And yes, I'm quite flexible...
Some background why I have chosen this size, maybe this helps others with the decision.

Actually the LCR-018 size 52 is closer to many other brands 54 size.
For 1,77cm; 83 inseam Giant recommends size M and Canyon recommends size S. I'm on the upper limit of Canyon's specification (1,71-1,78cm) and in the middle of Giants specification (1,71-1,81cm)

Including the geometry of the handlebars, the LCR018 size 52 is close to Giants Defy size M.
LCR018: Reach 75mm; 8mm rise; stem -7°
Giant: Reach 72mm; stem 100mm,-10°
Canyon Endurace: Reach 74 ; Stem 90mm -xx°


The only unknown for me is the influence of the LCR's 0 setback seatpost.

I ordered mine yesterday in carbon raw matte.
I'm 177cm (82cm inseam) and went for size 52, as recommended by Jim Lee/Lightcarbon. Compared the geometry with many other (endurance) bikes and this size should be in line with most of the brands size recommendations. Went for 380/110 handlebars, due to the short reach and the 0 offset seatpost. Currently I ride a Giant TCR (size M; definately less relaxed geometry) and a Yishun R1018 in size 53.

Jim responded to questions without significant delay and was very helpful. If delivery and build process will be as smoth, as the the ordeing process, I would be very satisfied.

I will share some updates, once I received the frameset.

Pictures of my frame came in last week. Colours are LCB-7207 Chameleon and LCB-7207 Chameleon 7207. Excited to see it in real life

Very Nice! Which color code is the greenish chameleon color? The LCB-7207 looks like a nice shiny white. Is there a significant color change as well?
