LightCarbon LCR017-D

LightCarbon LCR017-D

Frame
tsp52 on YouTubeabout 1 year ago
My LightCarbon LCR017D review and ordering experience. Crazy value for money.
00:11:13

The reviewer discusses their experience building and riding a bike with the LightCarbon LCR017-D frameset. They state they were inspired by Hambini's video to order it. They praise the integrated handlebar design, comfort, and the clever internal cable routing system which was easy to assemble. They mention the frame came well-prepared with faced brake mounts and bottom bracket, and included all necessary components like forks, headset, spacers, handlebars, seatpost, and hardware. They note the frame arrived in good condition after about a month and cost $782 before potential taxes. They are overall incredibly pleased with the frame and the build.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Inspired by Hambini's positive review, giving confidence to order
  • Integrated handlebars are a really nice design and very comfortable
  • Comes with a mount that has many useful attachments

more pros in the video

Cons

  • The seat post clamp creaked initially until carbon paste was applied
  • The instruction manual could have more detail for the builder
  • When routing the front brake hose, placing it on the left (standard side) requires crossing hoses and caused steering resistance, so they had to run the front brake on the right

more cons in the video

Key Points

  • Model is Light Carbon LCR017-D (same as Hambini reviewed)
  • Features integrated handlebars (available in shorter 380mm width)
  • Has a T47 threaded bottom bracket

00:16:38

The reviewer discusses the ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame, highlighting its performance and comfort. He notes that it rides like a light, agile road bike but with larger tires, making it suitable for gravel and country lanes. He praises its comfort at speed off-road, which reduces fatigue. However, he mentions some limitations: the frame only fits up to 45mm tires, the proprietary D-shaped seat post prevents dropper post installation, and there is a tendency to wheelie on steep climbs. He also mentions that the clear coat on his custom paint job scratched easily, but suggests that stock frames might have a tougher clear coat.

  • Comfortable at speed off-road, reducing fatigue
