$625 without handlebar. Crystal couldn't give me a lead time today, but i'm ordering one as well if its not weeks out.

Their available handlebar options are not great (max stem 110mm, minimum width 40cm). What other handlebars would you guys consider running?
I'm trying to get 130mm/36cm ideally with some flare.

I just received my new Graro gravel frame from ICAN. And yes, the available handlebar sizes are absolutely atrocious. I'm gonna have to get creative and use my own separate handlebar stem combo.

Careful as some measure in the drops and some on the tops, same thing with the stem measuring. Best to ask for cut sheet.

I tried to overlay ICAN A54 againts Speeder SC-R55D and it seems that A54 seatpost is much more forward even if stated STA is only 73 vs. 73.5 on SC-R55D

What would be your estimates on "actual" STA on A54?

I still can't get over the massively long reach. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind reach, still young and flexy enough to be comfortable... But the reach is so similar through all sizes, the small sizes seem ridicilously long. Are you guys just taller to get the bigger sizes and have a relatively normal reach? The reach is turning me off this bike

It looks like the true STA makes the reach a good bit shorter

Anyone looking at this frame is gonna need to find some kind of geometry tool to account for it to dial in fit.

matqobee: Take a look at picture that I posted on page 1. I put bike geo chart to fusion f360 and tried to align it to real world measurements, it is not perfect but from my experience pretty close.

on size M from what is geo chart picture I calculated real STA 75.4°

Does anybody with experience with ICAN custom painting know if this design would be too complex?

The frame in the photo isn't the ICAN A54, though, right?

They can and will do anything as long as you are willing to pay for. Their paint quality is pretty good to be honest.

I am really struggling to see the reason for ppl to be going for these VERY aggressive frames. I mean for the pros, sure, but for the rest of us????
