My second set of wheels from Peter arrived yesterday. About a week and a half to arrive to Vancouver, Canada.

D45CU-28 T1100 rims 20/20H UD paintless
Black color in-house hubs 20/20H 36T rachets enduro steel bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver
3.8mm carbon spokes

I weighed them at 1131 grams.

I set them up and raced a crit last night on them, which had a bit of a kicker through the start/finish line. Quick on the climb, generally stiff, and confident through the corners.

XM carbon speed - T800-28 50mm front/55mm rear depth with 5mm carbon spokes.

Also ridden the wheels 1500 km. Absolutely love them as well.

Finally finished my build a couple of weeks ago. I waited to take it out until I thought I had a clear day and of course got utterly soaked. The shite weather notwithstanding, I am super happy with the ride. It feels super responsive, stiff and fast, especially as compared to the Orbea Orca I had been riding for a couple of years. The Fl1 feels like a proper race bike. I originally got it for big mountain climbing, but based on how fast it goes especially with these wheels on the flat, I'm definitely going to do some crit racing on it this year.

Final weight with pedals, cages and computer mount is about 7.2kg.

Specs: FL1 size 52cm
Shimano Ultegra 12 speed Di2
Elilee 165mm carbon crank
Xm carbon speed 55/50 28 external width with 5.2mm carbon spokes
Lightcarbon integrated bar/stem 38 by 110

Received wheel set from Peter earlier this week. As expected, Peter has been super helpful and responsive.

Details:

Front D50CU-28 T800 rim 21H Rear D55CU-28 T800 rim 21H UD matt
Carbon Speed Custom hubs for carbon spokes 36T rachets steel bearings center lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG driver
5.2mm carbon spokes

Roughly 1340 grams before I mounted tires, discs, cassette.

They look great...hopefully I'll be able take them out for a spin sometime soon.

What is the T47 spacing on the Fl1? Is it 86mm?

Yes - 86

With the disclaimer that this is my first bike build and that I know little about carbon frames in comparison to many others on this forum, I'm impressed with my initial inspection of the FL1 frame.

Would anyone have a recommendation for an OEM integrated stem/handlebar?

I’d like to piggyback off of the OP and probe the experienced folks thinking and experience further. I’m also really keen to build a lightweight climbing bike (currently strongly considering the ICAN FL1).

I’ve only ever owned western brands (your specialized, cannondales, giants) and never built a bike before but am really drawn by the idea of spending 1/3 on this frameset in comparison to a giant tcr. I’m also somewhat interested in building a bike for first time (what else am I going to do during the cold Canadian winter?) I could afford the tcr but would gladly put the money elsewhere.

So my question here: is the tcr and all that entails (warranty, buy locally, etc) a better value than something like the ICAN or some other direct-from-China climbing frame?
