Alternativ frame like ICAN GRA04

[ArchM87]

Hi guys,

I need some help. ICAN is not able to send my GRA04 Frame. I ordered it 3 month ago, and now I dont have any patience or trust, that ICAN will send me the frame. It was ordered with a simple 2 colored paintjob. I definetly

Now I need a similar Frame. I ordered it in size "M" - 53. Is there something like the GRA04 out there?

- lightweight
- storage space
- integrated cockpit
- UDH
- Tire size up to 50 mm
- similar geometry

best regards

The Carbonda CFR707 doesn’t have a down tube storage compartment but fits your requirements otherwise. I’ve been happy with mine.

Personally I haven’t felt the need for more than a top tube bag and jersey pockets will carry but I don’t do long rides on my gravel bike very often; it’s just for quick casual rides out the door on days when I’m not riding MTB/DH.

Oh boy, another "ICANT"-story. Hope you at least get your money back in full?!

Might wanna look into the GV201/GR201 from Tideace, Tantan, or Longteng (all the same frame just different shops/manufacturers). There is a lot of info into this frame on the forum already if you wanna deep dive: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4724.0.html

It's not the exact matching geometry but fulfills all your other needs. Depending on your size (and where that M from ICAN sits for you), you wanna go for a 54 or 56:

Aside from the storage, the Carbonda CFR707 is practically identical to the GRA04 frame.

Hi,

thank you for the recommendations. I think getting a little mad, also via facebook/instagram, helped. The frame is now finished with painting, and ready to be send out.
