Lightcarbon LCR72 "aero racing gravel"

[Personal]

Where did you get that picture from? That's an LCR018 allroad frame, exactly like mine (size and finish), it's not this new LCR072 aero gravel frame!

Want sent from the factory.  Yes it is LCR018 but just showing gloss raw carbon for context.

I wasn't implying you didn't know it was an LCR018 frame, but you didn't mention it and look at the name of the picture file...

I’ve also seen this riser handlebar in a few YouTube videos, and I actually prefer the way it looks. Does anyone know what model it is?

HBR17

HBR17

No, that's not an HBR017, the one that was launched along with the LCR018 frame (I have one). The flare, rise and shape are different on the pictured handlebar...

Yes I think the factory mislabeled the photo.  It’s a good looking frame.

That riser bar is a 3D printed bar, according to Trace Velo. It could be a preliminary version of the HBR20. It doesn't look like a lot of flare. The HBR20 also doesn't have a huge flare. Only 6 degree. Going from a 380 to 410 in the drops. If it is a preliminary version they sure did change the stem a lot. I like the shape of both handlebars. I ordered my frame with a HBR20. Just to get rid of the 30mm of spacer underneath my HBR17 on the LCR18-D

Yes this one looks MUCH better! Just simple & elegant, kinda like the TAVEL riser bars. That’s what we want

Anyone got the frame yet? Curious about the ride feel. So basically this frame is about LCR018 with wider tire clearance? Can someone share the riding feel of LCR018?

[Konajra]

The ride feel of my LRC18-D is fine, but again, I don't have much to compare it to other than a steel Reynolds 853 Kona Roadhouse.i have 35mm tires at 3.5 to 4 bar. I can't tell you how it climbs, as I live in the flattest part of the Netherlands.
You could check the LCR18-D thread for more ride feel reviews: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,5970.0.html

I just asked for an update. They updated the chainstay, so it will take another month.
They say my size M with raw finish will be ready at the end of September for the custom paint.

Did you ask what the chainstay update was? Hopefully to make bigger clearance - so one maybe can fit 2.1" tires?

Got this info about my frame few days ago

Hi Arthur,
all of the new frames are Z3 qulity, no worry it,
LCG072 size L raw finished in end of Sep or OCT, and add the paint time about 25-35 days, so will be end of Oct or later,
The production time for the new product will be longer.

[Konajra]

I also have a size L on order, but paired it with a HBR20 handle bar. The bar 380/100 is produced  end of the year or maybe later. So I expect my frame to arrive somewhere in march.

Ah good to know when those bars are being produced, I'm thinking of getting the HBR20 riser bars as well for the LCG-072 as I'll be doing 90% road and the rest as lighter gravel. Do you know when the other sizes might be produced or only that specific one?

[Konajra]

I think Wendy said that by januari/ februari 2027 all sizes should be available.

Do you think Seka's seatpost would fit the LC72 ? I have a trust issue with the hole under the saddle.
