The reviewer provides a detailed review of the LightCarbon LCG087-D gravel frameset. They highlight its quality finish, comparing it favorably to Western brands, and describe its key features: a micro suspension system at the rear for compliance, a downtube storage compartment, and an aerodynamic fin. The reviewer states the micro suspension takes out vibration and buzz without noticeable pedal bob or flex, even when climbing. The storage box is described as nicely made and finished. However, they note the aerodynamic fin caused compatibility issues with their L2 brake caliper, requiring spacers and a struggle to fit. They mention the frame is stiff with compliance, handles rough terrain well, and has no squeaks or creaks.
