Takeaways

  • Price at publication0:34He chose the optional crackle paint for roughly US$100–130 extra over the standard matte or gloss black.
  • Ride impression3:40The elastomer micro-suspension is compliance, not suspension: it takes the buzz out of rough ground with no pedal bob or sag he could provoke when climbing.
  • Fit check6:08His rear caliper needed spacers to sit far enough over; LightCarbon now lists L-TWOO calipers as incompatible and recommends Shimano, SRAM or TRP.
  • Repeats a maker claim6:53Repeats the maker's figures: size-M frame 1,480 g ±40 g, seatpost 316 g, T47 85.5 mm, 700×47C or 650B×1.95 in tires; his 47 mm tires show plenty of room.
  • Support7:42UDH hanger; a spare suspension elastomer cost him US$10, which he recommends ordering with the frame.
