Long-term reviewOwner review
A Canadian owner's rim-brake LCR007-V, bought used and built with Ultegra, compared with the Cervélo R5 it replaced.
MAE Bikr · 2025-02-17. Owner video; he bought the frame used and later bought a seatpost from LightCarbon, with no sponsorship stated. Disclosure basis.Takeaways
- Support0:06He bought the frame used for about C$400; LightCarbon identified it and sold him a setback seatpost for US$120, but told him the LCR007-V is no longer made.
- Fit check1:4928 mm Continental GP5000 tires leave 4–5 mm of room on 21 mm-internal rims and he thinks 30 mm might fit, above the 25 mm commonly listed for the frame; no 30 mm test is shown.
- Ride impression2:45With identical contact points he finds it far more comfortable than his previous-generation Cervélo R5 and no less fast; the bottom bracket has given no trouble.
- Measured8:32His upgraded build (Ultegra rim brakes, power meter, carbon bar, wheels of about 1,350 g) weighed 6.2 kg with pedals fitted; the upgrades took its cost to about C$5,000.

Hands-on reviewOwner review
Unboxing and weigh-in of a size-52 rim-brake LightCarbon LCR007-V frameset by a rider who has used the model for three years.
durianrider · 2022-12-14. No supply arrangement is stated; the presenter says he has ridden the same frameset for three years. Disclosure basis.Takeaways
- Build note1:32The only niggle is the proprietary D-shaped seatpost with grip tape and an apparent alloy core; spares may be hard to find in future, though his has had no problems in three years.
- Measured2:54Weighed uncut: zero-offset seatpost 215 g and fork 368 g; he sizes the 52 like a 56 cm from other brands at 183 cm.
- Build note4:24Internal routing has guides that make fishing cables easy; it uses a proprietary seat clamp and a press-fit BB86 bottom bracket.
- Ride impression5:49He rates the finish equal to premium brands and, having owned an S-Works SL7, finds the LCR007-V stiffer and lighter-building; a strongly opinionated, subjective comparison.
