Do you know the C in LCR017 stands for?
Hi i wanted to buy frame LCR017-D from lightcarbon they send me something like this:
LCR017-D: USD 560/set
700C carbon Road bicycle frameset. Disc brake. [Grade A super light]
Including frame/fork/seat clamp/seat post + front&rear thru-axles +headset+spacers +handlebar HBR13
UD black matte finish
bottom bracket: USD 10/pc(Shimano 24/Sram DUB 29/30 Crank?) if you need
extra rear derailleur hanger: USD 10/pc if you need
So my main question is
Is it safe to buy from them because i read and saw video on yt about voids in some areas in their frames.
And i also heard about some quality levels you have to choose.
The real question is: is this Z scale a real bike industry thing or did Lightcarbon more or less invent it as a marketing tool?
Can anyone explain to me what Z3 quality is and all the other qualities?
Do all theother sellers also use this notation?
People know it. If people are really interested in the frame and they saw Hambini’s review, is not that short video that will stop them from pulling the trigger.i actually drop that video even before Hambinis review. The video is still around if people try to know more about the frame they will find it
I don't see any reason to make it private. If they're going to ship frames that are that shockingly shocking, people should know about it..
Yes, the did ask to remove it. I made it private. In case I don't hear them posting me about the shipping it will be back to publicYou're lucky you found this forum as LC knows it affects their bottom line. It's like crowd funded post sale QC. How did you find this forum?
Just curious for the bad frame, does it have a "QC Passed" sticker on it?
Hello,
I purchased a LCR017 in June and received it a few months later, paid 712$, a bit less than you because I didn’t ask any customization. Did you request any "z tier" when ordering your frame?
Upon inspecting my frame, I discovered significant voids in the upper seat tube area. I reached out to my sales contact, Carol, regarding this issue but have not received a response yet (WhatsApp and email). I also used the contact form on the Lightcarbon website to inquire about my frame situation.
Just to clarify, I am not seeking for clicks on my YouTube channel, as someone suggested in response to one of my comments on Hambini's video about the same frame model. I simply want to share my experience with the Lightcarbon. Here's the video,
Eventually, I will do another one if Lightcarbon keeps quite about my case.
Thanks Tiago
So, they're sending you a new one or they still wait for you to crash, die, and then send a replacement to your grieving family?
Mine had and it's just "blue". Colour also seems fine on mine. Didn't see anything yet which might indicate bad painting but again it's just one simple colour from their classic coloursThere's no clear coat on plain colors from light carbon. It's just buffed out to a high gloss finish
Thank you for this feedback.
I think I'll take a 52.
For the color, apparently not many people chose the Chameleon 08HS or Chameleon 13HS colors.
