After crashing hall 9 at Eurobike, I went to talk to various OEM's about buying a new cheap bike frame for the channel. After much debate at the coffee machine I decided to spec my own QA and buy this Lightcarbon LCR017D Frame.
Their website is https://www.lightcarbon.com make sure you specify you want a "Z3" frame or refer to this video.
The advantage of specifying your own QA/QC is you get a frame that is of very high build quality and is not much more expensive than not specifying your own QA/QC whilst still remaining considerably cheaper than other "Mainstream" brands.
This is hands down the easiest bike frame I’ve ever assembled—no need for sandpaper, no fiddling, just smooth sailing. Everything is perfectly machined and faced, making the build hassle-free.
