Matte white will be about the most difficult color to keep looking good. Should look bring, though, when it is :-)
How Long will it take for the arrival of the frame?
It’s weird that ICAN would be able to sell a Flybike frame for less than Flybike’s own consumer direct operation (Carbonda). One has to wonder if it’s actually the same construction or just the same mold, potentially with a different mix of carbon or layup process. Is that price comparison for both frames shipped?
ICAN has two web sites and only one of them (not the one people normally buy from) lists the X17. I wonder if that has implications for availability at that price, like it’s only for wholesale customers or something.
I haven’t weighed my size large FM1003 frame separately but it can’t be all that much heavier than the 3300g claimed for a medium.
The trend in the bike industry is to have a longer dropper post with a shorter seat tube. For example the ibis Ripley and Ripmo, two of the best selling bikes in the industry, have ST lengths of 418 and 432mm respectively. It allows for more customization via different length dropper post and is much nicer as you can move the seat way out of the way when you are descending. With dropper post reaching lengths of 240mm, it shouldn’t be a problem accommodating longer legged riders. Additionally, droppers are starting to have shorter and shorter insertion lengths, which can make up somewhat for a short frame insertion length. If this seller wants to sell the most amount of frames, he should try to lower the seat tube length. As it is, it will deter buyers looking for a frame with modern geometry.
Did you have issues with the cassette?
The front crankset has the 40T x-sync chainring that comes with sram rival crankset 12sp. The cassette however is a sunshine hg hub 11 speed cassette. I was thinking of trying a 12spd gx eagle chain and seeing how that works with the 11 speed cassette.
There has been some bikes built. Me, my wife and my son has been upgraded quite a few times.What frame is this bright orange one? That looks slot like the new lcfs948!!During the pandemic it was easy to sell a used bike so I could build a bike, ride it for a couple of months and sell it for component costs. Now things have changed, its very hard to sell a home built bike so I have to many bikes and therefore no space for more builds
But I am looking forward to the new LCFS948 frame, moste likely I can not resist to build one.
the size M is on testing, size L have no make the metal mold, need more time, so we have the time for seat post,
but one question is if short the length of seat tube, it's hardly make sure the enough length for inseart parts of dropper post. the seat post only can be between the two red lines,
