I would also suggest the Yoeleo Altera. One other frame from a Chinese manufacturer could be the Evolve Cima GR, that just dropped (stack 630, reach 410 in XL, 3x 380mm seat post options), but is more expensive than most of the brands on this forum. The Cima road frame has a really great reputation though.

This photo is from their 2025-26 catalog. it looks like there can be a storage compartment, visible in the upper photo and the scheme direkt under the front bottle mount.

I stumbled over this frame of pastel cycles, it looks good imo. After some time in this forum I am just curious if one of the "usual suspects" would be the frame manufacturer of these. Could you guess it?

I can suggest you to follow this video, it's very well made and must be followed every step.
Consider that the Hope 4 piston are a real PITA to bleed...


What Video do you mean?   :)

Due to the endless threads about Chinese electronic groupsets (Wheeltop EDS Tx, GEx, Ltwoo eGR, eRX, eR9 – you name it) and the more or less sponsored reviews on YouTube, I had the following idea:
If you own one of these electronic groupsets, please share your concise opinion about it.
The goal of this thread is to provide an overview of the groupsets and their current status in real-world testing, rather than having to sift through countless thread pages.

Therefore, I kindly ask: write a few words on the following points, but please avoid in-depth discussion about the groupsets here. That can be done in the respective dedicated threads in the forum.

I’d be happy if we could build a comprehensive overview of Chinese electronic groupsets.
Thank you!

Groupset:
would you recommend?
where bought?
mileage (roundabout):
flaws?: i.e. fiddly instructions, derailleur died irreversible, none

Thank you very much!

d50cu-28  t800, in house hubs, carbon spokes, 1316g. Can't wait to get them in hand.

Is That a Glossy finish? :)

Im riding in extreme flats, Like Netherlands flats! The only Hills are the 5m increase of the bridges over the Highways in the area.
Surface would be Tarmac and a Bit of Gravel, Not through Woods or extreme off-road.
Im Not a Racer or ambitious rider, just Hobby rides After work or weekends.
I don’t Need the lightest groupset or setup, i just don’t See a reason in a Front derailleur and more.

My latest idea is getting a normal Sram Rival 1x setup (But Not WIDE) for the flats, but also to be futureproof if i plan on getting a Front derailleur, then i could add that Later. Maybe with a force crank, because that Supports Single Chain Ring, Rival cranks (Not WIDE) doesnt Support That.

Their advice on chainline is pretty unintelligible to me. Having an LCG071 myself on which I run a 43.5mm chainline crankset, I really don't believe that a 54/42T could fit with a 43.5mm chainline. 46-30T just barely fits. Perhaps there's a typo, where:

should actually read:

Similarly, I don't understand why they would recommend a max chainring of 42T for a 49.7mm chainline, which is a wider chainline than the 43.5mm chainline's outer ring (which sits at 46mm), or even that from a 47.5mm chainline. It would make more sense if they were recommending a 42T max chainring for a 43.5mm 1x chainline, which is what you get with a inboard-offset 1x chainring commonly used in 1x conversions.

TY very much for your answer! helps a lot!

im indecisive which groupset to use.
In any case: I'm betting that with a 47.5mm chainline, you can run 54/42t max.

Hi guys,

I'm planning on building up my first Chinese frame, the LCG-071, with a Sram Apex axs 1x12 WIDE Group. While checking some data, I stumbled over the chainline:

SRAM APEX AXS 1x12 WIDE has a Chainline of 47,5mm

Frame LCG-071 has a chainline for 1by setup: 49mm
LightCarbon website:
"Max Chainring: If use single chainring, max 42T (corresponding chainline=49.7mm ).
If use double chainring, max 54/42T (chainline=43.5mm), min 46-30T (chainline=47mm)"

is it good that these 2 47,5mm vs 49mm are close together or could it cause problems that they are not the same?

Ty in advance for your help  :)

Blue is Dynamic Blue Metallic from GMC

Purple is Digital Violet from Aston Martin

Both are covered in 2K Clear except where the the blue frame is matte black.

Nice paintjobs! What are These Frames exactly?

Hello,

im considering getting XM-Carbonspeed wheels as well. Are the in house ratchet hubs easy serviceable (e.g. with DT-Swiss upgrade kit or Bearing-Service)?

Ty
