29+ & 27+ / Ican P8 full suspension build
« on: August 09, 2017, 05:53:23 AM »
Hello guys, I was torn between going with Peter and the FS27 or going with Ican and the P8.

I ended up going with the P8 as it was closest in Geometry to my current bike (which I love)

So, I plan to document the build here for others that may be interested in this frame.

The build will consist of the following:

Ican P8 Medium
Rockshox Reba RL 120mm fork
Rockshox 200 x 51 Monarch RT3 Debonair rear shock
Raceface Atlas 50mm stem
Raceface SixC 785mm Carbon DH bars
Magura MT7 brakes (180 rear, 203 front)
Raceface Turbine Cinch 170mm Crankset
Wolf 32 tooth Oval Chainring
SRAM XX1 Eagle 12 speed drivetrain
27.5 35W Hope Hoops wheel set with Pro 4 hubs and 27.5 x 2.8 Nobby Nics
DNM 100mm Dropper Seat Post with Wolf Lever.

Ill start attaching pictures as I build up the frame, but initial impressions are very good!  The frame is awesome build wise, and aesthetic wise.  Pivot has zero side to side play, and all of the bearings/bushings move very freely!  Rear triangle doesnt bind in the slightest!  (I must admit this was a worry after reading about other bike manufacturers with this issue)

And then the custom decals I had NLdesigns draft up.  I based the design off of the Transition Patrol Carbon bike.

After some digging it appears to be very close to both Norco and Transition in both appearance and numbers.  Ordered the frame yesterday and it shipped today.

Hopefully it will arrive in a couple of weeks and I can transfer everything over from my hardtail.  So it will be a 120/120 for the time being.  Once I upgrade the Reba RL to a Pike I'll go to 130mm front travel.  (Unless I feel the bike is plenty capable with the 32mm stanchions of the Reba, then I won't be upgrading)

Good morning guys, does anyone know what bike the ican P8 is modeled after??

I'm torn between this and the FS27.  I prefer a threaded BB and the cable routing of the P8 but would like a little longer front travel (130-140mm) as apposed to 120mm they spec.  Mostly used on tighter, rooted up single track that is more XC oriented.
