LightCarbon LCR018-D. A light aero-endurance carbon frameset with an official measured-width 38 mm limit and a documented 8.6 kg Shimano 105 owner build.
The displayed Est. ¥12,450 estimate adds the adjustable ¥6,000 build allowance to the recorded ¥6,450 frame price.
Other documented builds
These are separate configurations. Their weight, drivetrain, and price are not mixed into the catalog reference row.
The documented owner fitted larger tires, but the catalog keeps the manufacturer's 38 mm measured-width maximum.

The official manufacturer page supplies the materials, construction, size-specific weights and measured-width 38 mm maximum. The exact Xianyu listing adds geometry ranges, brake, seatpost, cockpit-weight, storage and warranty detail and also repeats 38C, while its 86.5 mm bottom-bracket wording remains a recorded conflict with the official 85.5 mm figure. The separate size-58 owner build supplies the 8.6 kg complete weight and price references; those observations are not treated as current mainland offers.

These sources support this model page; individual claims retain the confidence of their cited source.
Current exact-model page states measured-width 700×38C clearance, Toray T800+T1100+M40J, 3D latex-mandrel construction, T47-85.5, UDH, six sizes, frame weights by size, 430 g fork, frameset contents and two-year warranty. It is quote/contact-only and does not publish a checkout price.
Exact size-58 owner build measured 8.6 kg with pedals, storage and bottle cages, 8.35 kg without pedals, 1,196 g painted frame and 463 g fork. The owner reports a USD 950 custom-painted frameset and USD 1,790 discounted complete build. A 40 mm rear/45 mm front fit is an owner observation, not the manufacturer's universal maximum.
User-supplied transcription of the exact public listing corroborates Toray T800+T1100+M40J carbon, 700C×38C maximum, 0 or 15 mm-offset seatposts, 140/160 mm flat-mount brakes, down-tube storage, an approximately 300 g HBR17 cockpit and a two-year quality warranty. It also states 61–68 mm trail, 74–78 mm bottom-bracket drop, 415 mm chainstays, 71–72.6 degree head angles and approximately 1.45–1.50 stack/reach. Its T47-86.5 wording conflicts by 1 mm with the manufacturer page's T47-85.5 specification and is not used to overwrite the official value. The exact URL and Xianyu homepage were opened in the isolated browser on 2026-08-29, but both exposed only the site footer shell—no listing body or search input—so the transcription remains purchase source-listing evidence rather than an independently captured page.
