ICAN FL1

[T1NY]

i've bought a ICAN FL1, so i wanna start a new post and share my new build
will be size 54

Would you mind telling me what finish you went for ?

Is it naked carbon with clear coat? Matte or Satin ?

It looks really nice 

Are you happy with the finish?

Thanks.

[c.etzo]

the finish is naked carbon with clear coat matte, and i'm very happy with it.

Here's my FL1 aka the Pikarello. I designed some decals, picked the paint colour and ICAN took care of the rest. They sent design mockups and numerous photos throughout the process regarding the paint colour, sizing and position of the decals and followed up when I forgot to reply to their emails. Very happy with the service.

Painted 52cm frame weighed 875 grams. Build quality according to my untrained eye is well above the Yoeleo R12 I'm coming from which had many issues I was never happy with. Internal photos - see for yourself. I appreciated the faced brake mounts. I have done several hundred kms on it so far and it's a ripper of a frame. Stiff yet comfortable, I've smashed plenty of Strava PBs so far.

No problems with the T47 BB and the Magene PES P505 crankset.

Big +1 just for the name. Sorry @Serge but it beats your Tractor's name .

How is the paint's quality??

[Tunapuff]

I give it a proper look over - it's flawless. Didn't see any overspray into places there shouldn't be paint.

I had a look at their painting process video before so I was somewhat confident it would turn out nicely:

Just got one.
Really nicely made frame. Clear coat finish looks perfect to me, and everything is going together as it should.
About fifteen days from order to arrival.
Have popped up a build thread on WW.
I would say buy with confidence :-)

Fantastic build and finish. Love the little touches.

I would be all over this frame if it was UDH for a 1x13.

I am almost decided on the frameset. How does the frame feel on flats? How would you describe it in comparison with the more aero frames? Does it feel slower at 35-40 kph speeds?

[Tunapuff]

It is flat where I live, but I wanted something more comfortable than my Yoeleo R12 on 3+ hour rides. I have no problem hanging on to fast-ish group rides (33km/hr avg, 600m elevation, 85km), I also set a few KOMs in my area already with this frame. I don't feel like I have lost any speed going from the R12 (aero-ish frame) to this one, but I am not A grade material with insane watts, I'm just a 42 year old weekend warrior, mostly riding solo, at 2.9wpg. Definitely not an all out aero bike and it's no Cervelo S5, but I am happy with it for what it is. I was looking at an Specialized Aethos but I came across this and I was able to get it custom painted for a fraction of the cost

Hi,

I built a Fl1 last year and got enough kilometers to share my opinion about this frame. (Excuse my poor English) My configuration is Fl1 56cm, Sram Force axs groupset, Avian Canary 130x420mm, Assioma pro rs2, Farsports C3 with Conti GP5000.
The contact with Sherry was really good, the configuration, payment, and shipping were simple and quick.
The quality of the frame is good, the bottom bracket and brake caliper areas have been machined and are absolutely ready for assembly. So building was really easy. I first tried a mechanical groupset, but the space around the bottom bracket is really tight, adjusting the front derailleur is not easy. I recommend an electronic groupset.
Riding is very comfortable, even on bad surfaces, climbing is fun. I've never had an aero bike, so I can't compare.
But I think it's not the stiffest frame. I was in the Swiss Alps and I have to say that descending is not very pleasant. I had big problems with speed wobbling, which started at 35-40 km/h and only stopped when you pressed your legs against the top tube. You have to actively descend with the frame and cannot just let it run.
Maybe it's my fault or the configuration is not good, but these are my experiences with the bike so far.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing and found a solution?
Nevertheless, I do not regret the purchase, it is a nice frame for the price. However, you can tell that the price difference to the big brands is not just due to marketing.
Regards and success for your built ups,
Stefan
