Re: ICAN triaero A9 Ok, it has been a while but my A9 is doing well. I worked out a few issues with other components (Ultegra 8020 not shifting that well with the 11-speed Durace chain until I replaced the chain for a 12 speed Durace/9100 model), handlebar tape and a wider/shorter saddle.

It's a lovely bike now. The XL model works for me (1.96cm) running 175cm cranks. Seatpost has plenty of room left still. Pretty stiff where I want it to be, but - helped by the 32c tires - plenty compliant, am using the standard headset, and there is no play. Having this bike now makes me a little more observant when I see other brand-name bikes and I started to notice a few look alikes. i.e. Polygon Helios looks almost identical, to some of the Scott models - it might just be a popular shape?

Added a few pics for the interested ones just after build, before any fine-tuning.

TanTan/Seraph TT-X69 - The Real SuperSix EVO Clone? Alternative to LC017-D? Not much info as of right now. And TanTan's website is currently down.
They seems to be on a roll with their latest clones. Thankfully this "interpolation" of the SuperSix EVO doesn't have bus like aerodynamics.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) 990g is the weight of the frame w/o the metal storage cover.
frame seems very sturdy on the frontal area, more than the BB area (but i'm by no means a carbon expert)
fork seems also robust.
love the handlebars design, construction seems ok.
saddle looks comfy, very well finished. can't wait to take it for a ride.

I've finally ordered my frame and just added a complete SRAM Rival AXS XPLR groupset.
This is going to be a wonderful experience  ;D

Nice. I tried gray color when playing around with AI-tools.

I made a AI-summary based on the full content.
Hope that is helpful. If you consider it spammy, than I will also delete it, but it's hard to navigate 34 pages already, and also hard to link back to the answers :)
