 40C and ride a bicycle with effort ?

 I did ride in Florida summer but less then 30C and humidity close to 100%, flat most of the time.

Ofcourse, you can imagine trying to fit brake nut there and it is short, take the frame btw 800gr by the seat tube and carry in the room, my hand over that bridge and 2 small pieces in my hand.

 now, what I did wrong and how, then I look, and I have a desk loupe large one, i see gluing and so on. That feeling.

Long time, i guess due to the circumstances but

I would buy one more if possible, drives like a charm, 950m climb and then 70.4km/h down like on rails.

 not completely true, in a sense of form.

 there in the middle is a alu or steel insert to which you attach caliper.
 
 on my Izalco Max that part does not protrude that much at all, it is flat 3-4mm from the insert.

 This is more of an aero gimmick, but how can I be sure that I am right.

 I did carbon repair btw, seat stay on my Izalco started to split, and 2 y later all is good.

 Anyone knows where else can I get, a rim frame with 60ish top tube and 42ish cm reach

 and behind the paint.

 execution is a dream, made to be light so very very thin finish and somewhere also you see strings
 
 KSC obviously is excellent company.

take a look at headtube

I have pulled plug, or sent 880$ for a frame, one that rarely fits me being 194cm and more.

 798gr in XXL, I would say an upgraded version of Focus Max Izalco most probably from the same factory, KSC Kangsheng.

 My was delivered through one of the 3 in the subject, with a damaged brake bridge with bad gluing try.

 

 1st suggestion is to me arrange a repair.

 I work in international very mixed company,

 but this, sending damaged frame with terrible gluing repair attempt and everything else is unexpected.

So, what happend later.

amount of lies from ICAN is just terrible.

it is the inside of the brake bridge, glue traces and still they ask me to send photos of the box, thats like new.

Then they conclude that damage is transport damage.

170$ is what they offer for refund because,

"This is caused by the collision during the transportation of the shipping company.
Before we ship the frame, we will carefully check the frame is intact before sending the package.
Could you please take the detached part and frame to a bike shop to fix (glue it up)? This part can be used normally with glue, how much is the repair cost? We will pay for the repair, can you accept?"

It was all prepared, photos I got before send are so low resolution.

So all in all, a terrible experience with ICAN.
