OP stated he only needs a frame

The frame is available separately, I mentioned this in my first message, but completed bike for this price and a set of characteristics cannot leave me indifferent.

Full Ultegra di2, 50mm carbon wheels, weight ~8kg — 18000rmb/2500$. Even in China, I have not yet found a bike that can compete with this offer, taking into account all spes..

Excellent price for complete bike if you take the Shimano 105/Ultegra di2 version, the frame is separately ~1000$. Modern geometry and aerodynamics, but you will need to figure out how to bring it. Seka Exceed can also be found in China for ~$1000 or a little more.

So I'm curious who will release it as their own bike for 2025.

Some strange local brand with a price of 5000-10000€ in one of the countries, as was the case with yiushun g095

Recently, I discovered the Chinese version of Craigslist. A used Seka Exceed RDC frame costs around $600, and I also came across a complete bicycle with UT 8170 on Magene DB508 wheels for about $3,500. A non-SW version Tarmac SL8 is around $3,400, or a complete bike with SRAM Rival AXS for about $5,000 with a mileage of 100-300 km.

I think I will go this way when I want to build a road bike, or there will be a suitable option from the used ones.

Sometimes, you can find absolutely incredibly terrible builds from the trash. Tarmac SL8 S-Works with old DA Di2 10s, no front derailleur, and the left lever is SRAM Red, while the wheels are Lun (but I didn't understand if they just sell Winspace wheels or manufacture them), I do not know if the frame was a fake, but in the photos it did not look like one and the price was 2800.

Yes, Ican Graro is a copy of Scott geometry, this is one of the options. But I'm not a fan of copies and replicas, even as trolling, I don't like the aesthetics of pinarello. I think I'll go to bikefit with retul to make up my mind, at the moment I'm forming a short list for myself.

Based on your ratios, consider the new long teng, the 401. Takes 38C, which would easily handle 90% of your riding, and the last 10%, would either still work ok enough with slicks, or if you have some knobs on the edges, would be great.

It looks interesting, but it's really more road-going than universal. One of my trips, when I wanted to increase the distance and get to a nature reserve near the city, this craving for adventure ended with me making my way along a forest road with fallen trees and a swamp through which I carried a bicycle in my hands (I saw a shorter road on satellite images LMAO). Therefore, I just want a slightly more road and faster gravel bike than I currently have — SPcycle G058. The stock for tires 40-45c will be enough for me for speed, comfort and off-road ability, I will stop at Tufo Thundero, and for the road I will assemble another wheelset for 30-32c tires that will eventually be on the road bike that I plan to assemble.

I'm in the same situation, I want to get a universal bike, but I don't know what to choose. I have 80 tarmac and sidewalks, 10 bad tarmac and 10 forest roads. I don't really want a road bike, maybe over time, because I want more versatility and convenience on the 50-100km trips that I usually do.

These are the options I'm currently choosing from (Listed in descending order of my interest)

Lightcarbon LCG072-D 2025
Workswell G358
Carbonda 505SL
Ican Graro

Pricey side
Canyon Grail
Orbea Terra
Superior XR 2025
Scott Addict

Mass production will take at least two months. We have invested too much cost in the new frame this year. now we are busy for another E-gravel suitable for the M820 motor in testing, so this LCG072-D will be slower!
contact us: jim@lightcarbon.com

Do you have any new information or photos that you can share? I'm interested in taking a look at photos of handelbar and options

Looks like a cheesy copy of the Seka Spear for gravel.  :o

Yep, with the addition aero shields on calipers. It's probably completely painless or adds 1-3 watts of efficiency, but I just like how cool looks this frame.

I wrote to LC because I liked the look of the frame. Here's the response:

They included a geo chart, attached below


Could you share the contact email where you wrote. I really liked this frame, I think this is what I will build in winter for do it all bike for next year's season.

I only know this frame that can fit your requirements.

They can also remove the fasteners on the fork if you don't need them for $ 100, maybe they can remove the fasteners for mud guards too. I'm going to assemble something in the aero gravel style with 45mm deep and 36mm outer width wheels with 40 or 45mm tires.

13
Will you have special versions of the integrated cockpit handlebar with a reach less than 80mm?

What technology will be used to make the frame, will it be EPS Latex or something ordinary?

When will it be possible to order/receive the XS frame?

14
Finally took my bike out of LBS. The whole assembly came out at 9.1kg, but I wasn't chasing weight reduction either. Absolutely all spare parts were purchased on AliExpress. Total cost about 1450$.

Frame with seatpost and Handlebar: Seraph (It was the cheapest option 499$)
Saddle: Ryet plastic with carbon rail
Chaining: Senicx 42t (I also took 40t just in case)
GRX 600 165mm crankset 46/30
11-46t M8000 cassette
GRX RX812 RD
Lingmai ceramic BB
Riro magnesium pedals
RX600 2x11 levers
CN701 chain
Shimano RT54 160mm rotors
Onirii aluminium wheelset 36t ratchet 28h
Continental Terra Trail 40c
Brooks bar tape

According to the mechanic, the only difficulty was laying the internal wiring. The brakes adjusted easily and the first time.
I am 168 cm tall and chose the XS size. Toe overlap is really a problem that I faced and maybe it was worth taking size S, but this is a feature of geometry and toe overlap is a feature of this geometry. This is my first bike as an adult and I'm still very happy with it. Maybe I'll just change the tires to 50c

ACESPRINT Official Store

I found this store, their offers look like an interesting alternative to Elite Wheels, the reviews are good. they also did not erase the watermark of the manufacturer, here is the link https://www.crazycarbon.com/

The factory's website and the information about it looks reliable, they also offer a 2-year warranty and crash replacement with a 25% discount.
