Frame arrived and I have it built up.  frame weight for those that care was 3600g.  the build was by far the simplest I have ever done.  the ICAN frame has internal guide tubes for the cable routing so I just had to push it in one end and it popped out the other.  even the dropper cable routing is tubes so no messing around with the cable and the foam sleeve junk.  only thing left is the shock mount.  the shock came with a 22mm bushing so i had to order the 8x15mm bushing from Offset.  total build weight is 16.1 kg.   

Forks: SR Suntour Durolux 38 180mm
Shock: SR Suntour Voro with Cane Creek Valt progressive coil
Drive Train: XT M8100 Group set
Brakes: XT M8120 
Rotors: Shimano MT800 203/203mm
Wheels: Dt Swiss EX 511/ MT900 hubs
Stem: PRO Tharsis CNC 55mm 
Seat Post Clamp: PRO
Grips: Wolftooth Fat Paw Carve
Bar: PRO Tharsis 3Five 20mm rise
Pedals: XT M8100 
Dropper: Crank Brothers Highline 150mm
Tires: F Schwalbe Tacky Chan 2.4/ R Schwalbe Big Betty 2.4
Valve: Amazon specials
Saddle: PRO Stealth Offroad 

Couple more things like bar end plugs and new rim decals will finish the bike off completely.  I am having issues with pictured but once I get that sorted I will get them uploaded.

FYI, the frame from ICAN arrived today.
 
It came with a headset and rear axle.
 
Shipping took 7 days
 
I will have to order parts.
 
Does somebody know what I should check on the frame?

Dang that was so fast.  Please post some pics. When you get a chance.  And thank you for posting the weight. As for what to check, I like to make sure there are no obvious issues.  I like to go through and loosen and then re-torque all the suspension bolts. I will also grease anything that pivots.  Usually find the frames are pretty dry when it comes to grease

Have you received any pricing for this frame set?

Do you guys think that the chainring sizing could be overcome by going with a DUB wide bb? extra 2.5mm. Or is that something that all MTBs have standard to begin with?

You will run into the same issue no matter how you move the chainring out and that is really poor shifting and excessive cross chaining on the low gears.  I am not familiar with the DUB stuff but you will be limited by the spindle length either way. If you make the bb 2.5mm wider then the crank spindle needs to do the same.  You would be better off getting a crankset to fit and using chainring offset.  I think they even go up to 5 or 6mm for the cinch style ones.  Am am sure the 3 bolt or 8 bolt ones are the same.  This was done a lot in the fat bike world to get better chain lines.

always forget how heavy a coil shock is.

One other thing is to look for 0° or 3° offset chainrings.  I run shimano cranks and Pass Quest makes some in both variations. You could flip a 3° around so it moves outward to give you more clearance.

I received the size medium that I ordered.  Frame built up just fine. Only issue was the original shock we bought was the SR Suntour Triair 2 with the sideways piggy back and the frame was about 5mm too narrow.  Switched to the voro coil as the original triair is no longer available.  One bummer was that all the drawings had a ISCG-05 mount shown but the frame I received did not.  I asked and was told that production frames don't have it.  Went with a crank based bash guard instead.
