Do you know the C in LCR017 stands for?

LC =. Light Carbon

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.                                                                                                                                                 

Yeah if you decide use PayPal so you have some recourse when or if they send you a substandard frame with a paint job without clear coat.   The whole z rating is BS in my opinion propagated by Hambini himself.   Don't know if he's getting kickbacks but don't know what other reason he would spend so much time on the whole z rating bullshit.  And don't let like carbon convince you to go through friends and family on PayPal because then you won't have recourse.

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?

I believe it's marketing and the equivalent to a coupon code so influencers can get paid

4
Can anyone explain to me what Z3 quality is and all the other qualities?

Do all theother sellers also use this notation?

I think hambini made it up so he can sell more light carbon frames and get a kick back from them

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

Was the bottom bracket on the frame they sent you faced?  Can you post more pictures of your frames clear over raw carbon paint job?  Interested in the carbon layup.  thanks

It only takes one bad meal to ruin a restaurant's reputation.

Did you file a claim with Cannondale?

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.
.

A little quid pro quo from Lightcarbon instead of stepping up  they rather obfuscate than right their wrong.  Ultimately that's the type of business model that Asian manufacturers seem to follow...no QC and attempt to gaslight the customer

9
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 public
You'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?

10
I think that the Cannondale looks boxy from the side view but it's actually not.

Just curious for the bad frame, does it have a "QC Passed" sticker on it?

QC passed for lightcarbon is like the  paid in full stamp

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

Did Lightcarbon ask you to remove the post linking the youtube showing the substandard frame in order for them to ship you out a new frame?

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?

Hahahaha!

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 colours
There'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.

Definitely go with a chameleon color as it includes a clear coat as part of the process. The standard colors from light carbon don't include a clear coat which makes them less durable.
