Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
« on: January 26, 2026, 04:39:11 PM »Hi all,
I'm new to chinertown and ordered my LCR018-D today
Many new things for me here: First chinese carbon, first bike build, first road bike.
Coming from downhill MTB, got my first gravel last year, but did enjoy riding fast on the road much more then riding on gravel, so here we are
Have gone with a Deep Ocean Blue color (inspired by lb7894546, looked sick) with Gittering Gold decals.
Payed 1.099$ ins total (~940€), including their basic BB and shipping to germany.
For the build I'm not sure yet. Either Elitewheels ENT 2.0 + Ultegra Di2 or Elitewheels Edge + 105 Di2 (both with Magene P515 powermeter).
Both combinations costs roughly the same, going with Edge + 105 should be slightly lighter. What would you go for?
Delivery time is expected mid march (size 50), will keep you guys updated how it's going.
I'd go the better wheels, they would make more of a difference to the ride feel, shifting performance of 105 vs Ultegra is almost identical
