What frame and crankset is this?

Farsports has boxes for 4 wheels in one. Not all sellers do that. Insist, because the price difference is material.
Frame is VB GF002. The only thing i dont like about it is that it's not a road bike, and so the geometry isn't a road bike. Then again, it's a gravel bike... So i since bought yet another road bike :)
Crankset is some random aluminium thing from alibaba. It works. It's not light but then shimano isn't light either, so at least mine is cheap.

I’ve been riding ICAN Aero 35 for a while now (off of PeakTorque’s recommendation) and they have performed phenomenally. I would recommend the ICAN WD 38 over the 40 since they have a more modern rim profile. I hadn’t known of the elitewheels edge series—such light weight at this price point for a 28mm wide rim is a phenomenal deal.

ICAN WD 38 is almost the same weight as Elite Edge. But :
Ican : Hub D01 (4 pawls) - Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Elite : 36 T Ratchet - Pillar wing 20 spokes
Which is better ? (Performance, durability. ...)
zerstorer:
Consider the Ican G25:
33.3mm external 25mm internal 50mm depth

You can find it on sale on Amazon for a lower price.

Their 45/50 wave rim with 26 internal is 34 external. That should be their widest. If you don't want wave, then 32 external is their widest external.
