Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: new road bike frame

Yo guys, I don't really get all the hate on the LCR017. I mean, yeah, the cheese frame can be a bit off-putting (I'm like 50% excited, 50% worried about mine that's currently being shipped), but honestly, there are plenty of happy people with the frame, and as far as I'm concerned Lightcarbon sent a replacement for the cheesy one.

Also, I have to say I would have bought the Winspace C5 if I’d had the money. It seems like a really good all-rounder, although there's not much info about it online

Well, this one is mine. Looking forward to it being shipped. Let’s see what happens after the cheese incident...

delivery 90mm travel

Yep, it’s the Lightcarbon 980. I kind of like it, but the cable integration is awful, and I haven’t read great feedback about it in its own thread. Same as Seraph FM080

I’d say the main pros are the weight and agility. For example, the top-tier Epic Evo is 10.2 kg, while the Epic WC comes in at 9.4 kg. The 120mm shocks make bikes more stable, safer, and probably faster on downhills, but they do compromise on tight cornering and bike sensitivity.

And personally, I love the aesthetics. They look like rigid MTBs, which I’m more used to riding.

Yep, by short-travel I mean around 70-80mm of rear shock travel. The Oiz has 120mm, which is a solid platform, but I don’t need that much.

29er / Short-travel XC frame
« on: October 08, 2024, 01:13:16 PM »
Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a short-travel XC frame, similar to the Epic WC, Supercaliber, or BH Lynx SLS.

So far, I’ve come across the AIRWOLF YFM015, but I’m a bit concerned about the rear shock and the fact that it doesn’t support a standard shock. I’ve also checked out the LightCarbon LCFS980, which I like, but I’m hoping for something a bit lighter with a more rigid-like design.

Does anyone know of other frames with these characteristics or have any experience with the AIRWOLF?

Thank you!

What do you think of the headset that comes with the frame? Would it make sense to upgrade to a better one, like an FSA?

After reading every post in this thread and falling in love with some of your bikes, I decided to order this frame two weeks ago. But now you're making me doubt—will I receive a bad frame just because I ordered it before the Hambini video and didn't specify the code?  ???
