Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Looking for a carbon triathlon frame

icanbikes has updated its tt017 page: https://www.icanbikes.com/fr/liste-des-produits/cadre-de-velo-en-carbone-tt/
We see more detailed photos and even a video and frankly the bike looks great. We see that the mono riser system is super simple. And (I hope they will) if they provide pieces with different angles (the classic 10/15/20/25° and flat mounting is simple just do not put a spacer angle) it will be a great system.

For the plate with the pads and pole holders, I think we could cut out the pole holders, which for me are neither aesthetically pleasing nor ergonomic, and use the holes on the plate (originally used to fix the pads) to fix one-piece extenders.

For 950 USD delivered in Europe, this frame is far better value than the velobuild (1250USD) as long as velobuild is not UCI.

Triexpress, it would be great if you could make this because I'm very interested in doing the same thing (we can't see the video or the link you referred to at the beginning of your message).

For the angle adjustment on the ican TT017 we can see that they provide an angle that seems to be 10° and the basic one installed seems to be 15 or 20° but even if I asked them the angle they don't understand.
After that, the design doesn't seem so easy to adapt extensions to the monoriser, because if they don't supply an angle, it must be possible to easily model a part, and if not, to adapt extensions to the original plate, you'd just have to cut out the round sleeves that house their horrible round extensions.

Otherwise, chrono's xds frame would be a superb opportunity if they offered it for sale internationally.
Or a new construction of the van rysel xcr UCI that would be more relevant to riders.

Hello, a little background, I am a French cyclist who competes and I am looking for a recent time trial bike that does not cost an arm and a leg. A UCI TT frame that is not from 2010 costs at least 3000 euros even second-hand and I expected a lot from the Van Rysel UCI but 7700 euros for a bike with a double 52-36 chainring and no lenticular wheel ... so I am looking for something else.

The Velobuild TT-023 was the best option but they have been leading everyone for almost a year by saying "in the process of UCI certification" and in any case the ican frame and cockpit are cheaper while being better designed (especially for the handlebars)
 I then asked the seller a few questions: ican frames I asked them if the frame was or was going to be UCI and the answer: "no but OEM customers may do it" and I am waiting for their return for their contact. At the same time I contacted icanbikes to get more insight into the cockpit and to find out if I could mount the deda jet extensions that I already have (I mount them on my rcr to have a cheap time trial) So I'm sharing the photos I received, I'm sure it will be useful to others. (Some measurements are useless, the language barrier and the fact that the person who answers me doesn't seem to know anything about cycling doesn't help)

PS if Chinese manufacturers come by, young competitors absolutely need a cheap, modern UCI time trial frame
