Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro
Quote from: bus4@207 on November 22, 2024, 11:13:49 AM
Did your frame not come with the C ring as part of the headset?

If not then I suspect that Ican dont want to be selling the frame without the bars in which case they should state that!
I purchased the frameset without handlebars. It included the crown race and two headset bearings, but not a C-ring.

It is odd, but I figured it would be easy getting one somewhere else. And as stated, the Ritchey Logic E-comp headset didn't require one as it is build-in with the headset cover.

Re: New Gravel Frame Ican Graro Hello, I just finished my build this weekend, I'd like to share some thoughts with you. The frame quality is very good, no sharp edges or other imperfections inside, headset fits well, seatpost, BB all OK. The paint quality is good too (I mean the colour paint itself, not work), I ordered pearl white + clear paint in some areas. This year I raced Addict gravel and I liked the "road" geometry, GRARO has the same geometry. I also considered NOAH but I did not like the weight and the geometry was completely different from what I was used to. Communication with Peggy was good until the moment the frame was delivered, we fine tuned all details. She only did not understand (or did not want to understand) that I wish to have the frame faced so the brake mounts and BB were not machined after painting and she did not accept my complaints about paint quality. I also ordered with road handlebar 110/420 (420 = size at hoods, almost 440 at drops), the gravel handlebar is too much for me. I preferred 110/400 to be more aero :-) but it was not available, on my Addict I had also 420 mm, so it was not a deal braker.

POSITIVES
Weight (1007 g in size 56 painted)
UDH (the frame is supplied with standard UDH hanger, I purchased direct mount UDH on aliexpress for Shimano)
Geometry (for me)
Frame quality
All fits well, no problems during assembly
Delivery term was kept and shipping was fast

NEGATIVES
Thru axle head on front fork looks awful, the fork surface is flat, no cone inside, should be hidden in the fork IMHO
The bolt rivets in areas with clear paint were painted black without masking = terrible black circles around it. Peggy just told me I should start liking it when I complained...
Obligatory 15 mm spacer under the stem to cover the brake hoses increases STACK but I normally removed it, it just does not look so smooth
Not all sizes of stem/handlebar combo available
No facing of brake mounts possible
Not all decals under the paint (the one inside of front fork is gone as I wanted to removed the paint from the brake mount and I covered this area with masking tape to protect the paint and when removing the tape the decal was removed too)
The computer mount is useless, made of weak flexible plastic material, moves all the time up and down, better no mount than this one
No FD hole plug for Di2 cable

TO CONSIDER
If you wish to use larger chainrings (50x34 oval in my case or 52x36 round), then ask for the FD mount higher than standard - I did it thanks to one previous posts here
Do not order clear paint...
Spacer under the stem is 15 mm
Ask for removing the bolt rivets from the fork if you do not need them

If you wish to see more photos or need to measure something, just let me know.

Re: Mondince FM336 Put in an order with Jack yesterday after a year of no riding since my CWind GT30 was stolen, looking forward to a new build!

$1400 NZD ($817 USD) for frame+handlebars+seatpost+paint+shipping to NZ. I asked Jack if they would also paint the handlebar (wanted to paint stem but he said it's integrated) and seatpost and he said they could. Never had a painted seatpost or handlebar so curious to see how it goes, guessing I'll just sand down the post so it fits into the frame.
