After the first rides, its time for a little feedback. You can find my buildlist in the attached picture.
The paint:
I´ve choosed a custom paintjob in dark green and matte black. The paint looks really good. I´ve found just one speck of dust below the paint. And they have done everything exactly like I told them.
The carbon quality:
Nothing bad to say. Everything looks well made and I found no loose carbon strings, holes or anything like that
The build:
Went really smooth. It was my first build, so I´ve done some mistakes, wich took some time. But beside that, everything was good, even for me as a newbe in bike builds.
Positives:
- The build is a blast to ride. It is so much fun, no matter wich underground. It feels safe and it feels fast
- The beginning process of communication with ICAN was fast, friendly and they have answered everything I asked them for
Negatives:
- The weight. It´s more heavy than expected and more than they say on the website. After my feedback, they changed the weight on the website from 1050 to 1100. So they accept criticism, thats positive.
- The production and delivery time and the communication with ICAN in the later process. 3.5 month from payment to delivery is way to long. And they lied multiple times about the estimated delivery time.
- The downtube storrage. Its just a hole in the downtube. If you put something in there, it will fall down to the bottom bracket. No bag or anything. I will print a solution for that, but its really disapointing, that you cant use the storrage from the start and you have to build something on your own.
So I´m happy with the build and, mostly, happy with the frame. But I'm not happy with ICAN. And for my next build I will go for another brand.
