Hi,

I'm looking for a new cyclocross frameset for next year an have my eyes on a LightCarbon LCX027-D.
Biggest plus for me is the 65mm bottom bracket drop which seems hard to find these days.

Does anyone have experience with either LightCarbon or the LCX027-D frameset?
I can't find much info on them.
I'm also looking at their integrated flared handlebar HBR08.
All info is much appreciated!

Cheers,
Tim

They also do this which has only 64mm BB drop - also aero and integrated. https://www.yishunbike.com/product/cx095cyclocross/

But not sure if LC will sell it to you. May only be for bulk order by brands, as it's only on the YB site.

Thanks!
Not sure "aero cyclocross" is a thing though.
Weight seems more important then aero at about 20-25 Koh.

If it's a dedicated race bike, sure. But most CX bikes never see a CX circuit, let alone spend 100% of their time on one. And if you're in AMS, not struggling quite as much into a 40kmh headwind on the way to a race might prove helpful, in leaving you fresher :D

seems to be very similar in geometry (and name too) to the old LTK 027 disc

i bought in 2014 or 2015, not remebering well, from LTK bikes (their website now is down, I don't know if the company is gone or not)
