Re: Looking for a carbon triathlon frame
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this build, as I'm currently debating building up a Triathlon/TT frame too! I see ICAN has released the a new TT017 as Serge_K mentioned. I've reached out to ICAN to see if they have any images of what it looks like as a full build. I'm guessing as it's a newly released frame it's likely there aren't many in the wild, but if anyone does make a move on one I'd be keen to see/hear thoughts! January 26, 2025, 02:44:18 AM |

Re: Looking for a carbon triathlon frame
icanbikes has updated its tt017 page: https://www.icanbikes.com/fr/liste-des-produits/cadre-de-velo-en-carbone-tt/ We see more detailed photos and even a video and frankly the bike looks great. We see that the mono riser system is super simple. And (I hope they will) if they provide pieces with different angles (the classic 10/15/20/25° and flat mounting is simple just do not put a spacer angle) it will be a great system. For the plate with the pads and pole holders, I think we could cut out the pole holders, which for me are neither aesthetically pleasing nor ergonomic, and use the holes on the plate (originally used to fix the pads) to fix one-piece extenders. For 950 USD delivered in Europe, this frame is far better value than the velobuild (1250USD) as long as velobuild is not UCI. Triexpress, it would be great if you could make this because I'm very interested in doing the same thing (we can't see the video or the link you referred to at the beginning of your message).

HongFu FM309 - TT/Tri bike
HongFu has a new TT bike on show at the Shangai bike show (saw a picture thanks to a Slowtwitch forum member). It's under their direct to consumer "Avenger" brand Since there is a bit of interest on the forum in TT bikes (with the ICAN, Velobuild and Winow threads). I reached out to HongFu for some more details. They responded with some more pictures and the geometry chart. The bike should be for sale in 2025 via their Avenger brand. What are your experiences with HongFu? Geometry and pictures:    May 09, 2025, 07:16:02 AM |

Re: ICAN TT017 TT Bike Build
Ask ICAN for a cost of an additional plate or ask them if they can modify it. The more people that ask they may listen and change the design. I have asked and they said they would not change the design. I also told them after I built the bike as part of some feedback that this is the major drawback for this bike as its very common for people to fit alternative areo bars to TT bikes. FYI. After a lot of back and forth, they responded that I could buy a extra baseplate for 120 USD. They also quoted me 950 USD for the frameset, which is actually a really good price in my opinion.

Re: Which frame for triathlon? And why?
IMO the ican tt017 frame is dated and there isn't a ton you can do with the extensions unless you replace the whole base plate with a custom one to mount something like the winow or vb extensions. Can’t really say it’s a dated design since it’s the only one with a UDH hanger (besides the TM7, but that one is way too expensive). I understand your point on extensions, but I personally don’t see a problem there. Just go for a custom plate/adapter, you’ll need to design it yourself, and that is a personal quest, best to be able to use custom extensions out of the box right? there’s not a single frame that gets everything right (cost being one of the aspects) October 09, 2025, 08:21:51 PM |

Re: ICAN TT017 TT Bike Build
Some new additions. Very nice one! I can recommend using a hinge and pin mechanism instead of clipping the lid. I probably lost a good 5 lids in the past year on my TT bike until I changed the design October 16, 2025, 01:12:16 AM |

Re: Which frame for triathlon? And why?
It's an open mould frame, not sure who designed it, but MMR (Spanish brand sponsoring ProTeam Caja Rural) has it as well now - not for sale yet I think, but ridden by their team. I'm pretty sure several other European brands will have it as well next year, so must be one of the "usual" larger manufacturers behind it.

Re: ICAN TT017 TT Bike Build
Starting the build...still waiting for my Rotor BB...;-). Winow Extensions also ordered but that can take more time to arrive so will use my current extensions.
