ICAN X6

jonxmack:
Does anyone have any experience with the ICAN x6 frame?

http://www.icanbikes.com/html/MTB/29ER_frame/230.html

Looks to be a lot like the IP-256SL but with slightly different geo, namely a BB drop of 69mm and 450mm chainstays.

For me it's between this and the 256, the advantage being that I can get this shipped out within 3 days of payment, whereas with the 256 I will have to wait 35-45 days.

I probably should have planned it out better but I sold my frame today assuming I'd only be without a bike for 7-10 days and my heart set on the X6, but seeing the BB will drop to -80.9 with my Niner forks (470 a-c) I'm having to reassess what frame I'm going to pick up!

When you meet a new culture, all people look the same initially.
Probably this is what makes you think it looks like a 256 :)

JackBNimble:
Haha.. They do all look alike!

Well the frame is slightly different from the 256, but I don't know enough about it to really comment on how those differences would translate while riding it. One thing that jumps out at me is the seatstay / seatube junction doesn't have the "wishbone" junction like the 056 does.

Here's a pic, looks nice:

jonxmack:
Well the fact they both have similar internal routing placement, same cover over the BB, both have the straightish top tube to seat stays, as mentioned the wishbone is the major difference (and the thickness of the seatstays), but has anyone bought one?

carbonazza:
Today on mtbr someone posted one of the first build pictures I saw:

But plenty of people ordered them but had to wait a long time to get it.
