Studying the geometry of this frame I have a doubt, according to my biomechanic, my reach is 386, in this frame it would be size XS, but I see a very short down tube, it seems strange to me.
In velobuild 168 is something more normal.

Tell tgat to Vingegaard, lol.
It's not as simple as that. At low gradients aero will still be faster. Not to mention downhill and flats

Sorry, I forgot that I could write some professional cyclist. So as Jonas wears 56 teeth, so do we.
Very good logic

I compete in triathlon, but I always prefer a climb frame.
The climb frame used with a 50mm wheelset will perform as aero, but an aero frame uphill is very difficult.

Do you know if there is a straight seatpost for this frame? Seatpost without backset?

Hi what would your choice be between the Ican a40 and the LCR017-D? Also, any recommendations for 30mm external width aero disc wheels? Thank you!

LR does not include fully internal wiring

Hello guys,
I have discovered the Yishun R1018D and would like to buy it. Unfortunately, yishunbikes does not currently sell the frame to consumers. Any idea how to get to the frame? Does another company sell the frame?

Thanks very much
Chris

I find it strange.
Many people on this forum have bought frame from Yisun.

You have now asked this question in multiple threads. Almost verbatim each time. What are you looking to accomplish by asking this?

I'm sorry, I'm just looking for more accurate information on the frame I have studied to buy. It would be the first time I buy one

How is the stiffness of this frame, have you done the test of trying to join the fork and rear chainstays with your hands? That's my biggest concern with these framesets

This is probably anecdotal but...

The best quality affordable Chinese frames I've tested (stiffness, fit and finish, tolerances) have come frame companies/factories who do NOT offer up custom paint jobs and decals. Basically the OEM factories.

However, brands/agents who offer up all these crazy paint options and put a priority on aesthetics are probably hiding something in the QC department. Just spend 5 minutes the IG accounts from TanTan, Hygge, and even Elves.

I would rather a factory tell me they don't offer paint jobs because their focus is on the production and QC of their frames and components themselves.

It's not anecdotal at all, you are quite right... I think like you... especially in brands like bxt, og ekvin, Seraph....

Fork rigidity test:

For the sheer joy of testing and its simplicity, I decided to apply lateral force to the fork arms and measure the resulting deflection. While this test may not directly correlate with real-world scenarios it does provide a general insight into its rigidity. (A fork is primarily designed to withstand vertical forces, as well as forces opposing the direction of travel , in reality it is reinforced by the wheel's axle.)

I compared the deflection measurements to those of a 2021 KTM Revelator Alto fork:
KTM: 101.16 -> 98.20mm (3%)
HYGGE: 98.50mm -> 89.56mm (9%)

Indeed, the significant difference in deflection (3 times, that's a huge difference!!) measurements between the two forks raises valid concerns about the safety and overall performance of the fork.

You have hit on my main problem in buying these frames.

Some time ago I bought a Spanish brand of frame (CBK) I think manufactured in ICAN. After some time I improved my performance and noticed how in short and strong intervals it gave a flexing sensation.
I switched to Merida Scultura and buaf, new world, much more stiffness and I can't put fork and chainstays together with my hands.
Currently, I have a max power of 1300W, and I want to look for a frame with disc brakes and internal cabling, but at less than 700usd, I doubt the stiffness.

I like Elves, Hygge....
