@@matthewf7213 Thanks, much appreciated.

Thank you kind sir for your words of encouragement. Stay tuned I've just ordered some LightCarbon components too.

​@@johnb.8615 Hi John. I've adapted the ones it came with by cutting off the nose. You can see when the camera pans under the handlebar a few minutes in 01:42. But I've also recently bought this from Ali Express to do my next build. a.aliexpress.com/_EQs1c8h For little over a fiver might help even if you use just the top piece. Thanks for watching very much appreciated.

I am no youtuber that's for sure but I may do something when I get the frame ,I am a bike mechanic and I am fed up with poor quality frames I see from some of big brands and some of the online brands! When they are in for repair/service,and also fed up with the high cost of everything! I mean even with my discount of cost + it's still so expensive! .I am a mtber of 34 years and the MTB is bling ! But a gravel bike is a simple tool and doesn't need to cost £2.5- sky's the limit to get a nice frame and hydro brakes and nice wheels,so I ve went direct Lightcarbon ,Ltwoo,and elitewheels! And I and a trained wheel builder lol still cheaper to get wheels this way! ,Always ride my own built wheel on MTB but thought I'd give it a go!,give me a place to send pics when it all arrives (late November for wheels)

@@pavelprchal7505 I currently have 650b wheels and 47c tyres. Officially according to LC site 700*53C or 650B*2.1'' or 29er*1.95''.

I will put 2.1 MTB tires on mine (=700-54c) that I will build in October. Size 52. I will post the bike check video end of October on my YT channel

@@whitebeardcycles hello, is there plenky of Špaček between stays and tyre? Should be if I want do my thing 🙂

@@SamuelBlackMetalRider hello, that soundtrack great, I will give you a follow to not miss that one, please mention this topic with some Viewegh what Gap is there or lack of it 🙂

@@LooseArchery Hi. Thanks for watching. I'm 5ft 11. Leg length 32" for reference.

The geometry didn't seem to be too different from the 54cm Yoeleo I was riding (Geo geeks). I should of perhaps gone with the 52 and opted for a longer stem (but it also lowers the stack height). But shorter stems give a snappier feel and on my trails that's a plus.

@@whitebeardcycles Appreciate the reply! Will give it a check

Tbh both easy enough to build up if you have some experience. The LC can accommodate up to 700*53C or 650B*2.1 and is a relaxed geometry. I'd say IF I had to pick it would be the Lightcarbon. It's build quality has the edge and if you watch Hambini's recent review he'll back that up too. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thanks for watching. As for sizing if you are finding yourself between sizes the general rule of thumb is to go a size lower as you can adjust seat post and handlebar reach easier to make a frame suit you but you obvs can't make a frame itself smaller. Furthermore, I would always recommend a professional bike fitter (not bike shop) and for circa over £130 it will be not only the best money spent but better than costly mistakes. For ref I am 180cm tall with an inside leg of 82cm. Also, contact the brand (but they, like many, will only use a sizing chart, and that doesn't allow for individuals' physiology. Good luck.

@@whitebeardcycles Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I am aware that the small size should be chosen in case you are between two sizes. Interestingly, the frame in 52 differs from the 54 in reach by only 3mm, which is of absolutely no relevance. the only difference is in the stack with a difference of 2cm. In general, the size increments don't seem to be very good, probably due to cost optimization in production. I've already had a fitting with measurements that suit me. bikeinsights is also a nice tool to compare with other frame brands. Will have to make a decision in the next days.

⁠@@whitebeardcyclescould you tell me if there is a lot of seatpost adjustability possible at the moment? I just ordered the 54cm version with a height of 183cm and inside leg of 87cm and read your comment. The geometry is very close to my current road bike but your seatpost does already look pretty high so now I am a little bit concerned that I went with the smaller size.

Not up to your stds but trying.

Funny you say this, I'm thinking about a project.
