ICAN M17

(1/1)

oldnslow:
Hi, does anybody have any experience with the ICAN M17? It looks to be unique-- as far as I can see, nobody else sells this frame.

carbonazza:
Although it will probably make you very happy as a first build.
Everything is a bit old about it.

It is not boost, which is the trend today ( 142x12 instead of 148x12 ).
It has a quite long chainstay.
And the head tube angle could be lower today.

oldnslow:
Thanks-- non-boost and long chainstay is OK-- I'm looking for a decent XC race frame for my daughter, and I already have a set of non-boost wheels.

Do you (or anybody else) know what headset and thru-axle this frame takes?

carbonazza:
This is classical tapered headtube, 1"1/2 by 1"1/8
I buy cheap ones on aliexpress( you may find it on this forum ), but you can find plenty of branded ones easily too.

For the axle, they usually provide one, but it is generally heavy( not sure about ICAN, but some builder provider lighter ones now ).
The one I really like is the DT Swiss RWS 142x12 ( with nut, as from the pictures, the drop outs do not appear threaded ).
