Got roasted for opening a new thread regarding this frame. Moving the info here

I've placed an order today for a size 54 with a custom design in 2 colours.



Final build will be 105 Di2 groupset. Elitewheels Flow 50 mm wheels with GP Contis 32mm.

What is the BB shell width on the LCR017-D yet, is it T47 or T47i?

T47 width 68mm, have two version, 68-24 for shimano and 68-30 for sram

This is from a previous post in this thread of a painted frame which looks to have a too large of a gap between the top tube and the spacer. I believe that the spacer or the pass through washer should be adjusted accordingly

There were some mistakes during installation. There are two mounts on the back of the bottom cover. The mounts need to be snapped into the grooves on the built-in C-ring!

.
What makes you say that there provided to a company called laminar? I thought that the rims were made by Pro-X

PX Company is the wheelset subsidiary of LC Company, so if you send an email to one of the companies first, and then send an email to the other company the next day, you will receive a reply from the same salesperson! But it needs to be separated by one day, because the email system will be synchronized the next day!

Don't worry, the guy who made the comment often sounds like a dick. I don't mind either way if you post on that thread or as a standalone one, I doubt I'm an outlier, as a detailed thread can be helpful.
Anyhow. Looking forward to seeing your build! What kind of lead time have they announced?

you've got a better price than I was given... I was said 590 because it was on sale...

How long do they estimate to deliver?

[chughes]

Been eyeing it also, they told me they can ship a size 52 (LCR017-) in 2 days after I placed my order. However they reminded me they only have a limited supply on hand. Really not into getting frames painted, the naked color I have found works, especially since it helps me to hide new purchases from my wife. Really would like to see feedback from others who have made the purchase regarding the ride feel, especially how it compares to known brands

I believe you were quoted the Super Light one ... IIRC, standard is $530, Super Light is $590.

Maybe... really dunno. Yet again ur price was none of those ahah Maybe because it was a 58 it was more expensive kakakak

Your colour mix looks nice. Good luck on the build

It will take a very long time. I quote Carol from LC: "the lead time is around 30~40 days for manufacturing."

Super light version standard EXW price is USD$590, now special price in USD$550 with one hanger (carol made a mistake. An extra hanger costs $10 more.), normal weight version USD$490; normally we suggest the buyer get two hangers, so cost is higher USD$10/set,

Thanks for the clarification. Indeed I was quoted the old amount.
Any idea if there is also a promotion on the gravel frames and it's price? On standard version?

Hello everyone, I am a long time lurker of the forum.

I just received the LCR0017 and this is my first carbon frame.

The package was in excellent condition and the paint is realy good.

However, I am asking for advice as I am wondering if there is a crack on the downtube.
 
Indeed, there is a place where I see a small crack in the paint, and when I lightly press it with my finger it makes a scary cracky sound.
See on the video (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/O2SybUxEs6I), I really press lightly and it is the only place on the frame where there is this sound.
I find it weird cause the frame is straight out of the box, I have just put wheels on it.
I have no experience with carbon frame and I don't know if it is just the paint layer or a crack on the carbon itself.

I send an email to lightcarbon and I am waiting for their answer but I want to have other opinions

[dinorello]

Yeah...that's definitely an issue with more than just the paint. Crazy if the shipping box wasn't damaged and LC sent it out like that.
