Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
Hi folks, BIG NEWS! After Carbonda sold the CFR505 to Thesis, they were working on a new gravel frame set. It seems to be finished now. It's code name is CFR707 (FM1186 is the flybike name) Common sizes will be available very soon. The uncommon sizes like XXL will be available at the end of this year most likely. The frame set is like a combination of 505 and 696. It has a more appealing design like the 505 with its lower seat stays and the big tire clearance like the 696. Its wheelbase is pretty large to make room for big tires, so it's not like the 505 with its pretty short WB. So right now Carbonda is not offering road based / short WB / low stack gravel frame as a 505 successor, which might be a downside for some of you. Still, this new frame will be the right fit for a lot of you guys. I like the sleek integrated seat post clamp and the 505 front end and seat stays. And I like the big tire clearance. If you want to run 700c 32mm on it, it might look odd with that big space between rear tire and seat tube. Also the very high stack values are appealing. Top tube length is a little longer than the 505, but could be compensated by shorter stem. Here are two pictures with 700c road wheel set, the frame drawing and the geometry sheet. also check out the riding gravel thread, this forum get's a lot of attention. https://forum.ridinggravel.com/post?10652655&pid=1312663477 Source: Carbonda staff August 27, 2020, 01:01:15 AM |

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Frame arrived today. Here is a quick picture. So far I am very impressed with the finishing quality. I have internally routed a few cables which was a lot easier than I thought. I am still waiting on parts to arrive. I will continue to update as I build.

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Hello. I just got an ICAN A9 the other day and assembled it. The accuracy of the frame was very good. I won't go into impressions as I haven't run much distance yet, but the flats are as fast as the Bullet Train. The routing took a lot of time, as did the FSA ACR. FYI. Size: 52 (I am 177cm tall, and 82cm inseam) Group set: Ultegra 8020 (crankset with power meter 6800) Wheels: Carbonal Tubular Wheels 50mm deep Weight: 7.3kg (without pedals and bottle cages) October 04, 2020, 07:08:20 PM |

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Very nice bike! The painting is great. Thank you carbonazza-san, Matt_C-san, The weight Frame : 1176g(with hangers, without TA) Fork : 408g(uncut) Seatpost : 270g(uncut) Handlebars: 360g(witdh 400mm, stem length 100mm) Headset : 153g(without spacers) Fron TA : 64g Rear TA : 75g The TA has a lever, which I thought would be a disadvantage in terms of aerodynamics, so I changed to a flat type. The flat TA was approx 40g. October 05, 2020, 09:11:59 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hi, as far as I know, the frame left China last week and it would take between 10 and 35 days to be in France. I also ordered some wheels from Light Bicycle with DT240EXP hubs. The groupset will be an Ultegra R 8020. I bought a cyrano R1 handlebar and I expect the complete bike to be around 7.5kg. I will post some photos of the components and the assembly.

Out for a ride with a mate today. Does it look like there's nearly a 10k price difference? Definitely doesn't perform like there is.

Re: ICAN triaero A9
I didn't have the problem with my original r8000 hanger, definitely the OSPW for me. I think we have our derailleurs on differently (not sure which way is correct. Take a look at the angle of or hangers, yours is straight while mine is at an angle. I just had a look at a mates bike that was built by a professional mechanic and his is also angled. It may be something for you to look at. Remove derailleur, rotate backwards and tighten it up again.
