There's always an itch to buy something new, but I still love mine. Picked up some KOMs on short sprint segments, so plenty fast for me

That's strange about the speed wobbles. I don't have big mountains in my area, but on short descents above 45kph I have no issues with the bike shaking. I have not been faster than 60km on this frame.

It is flat where I live, but I wanted something more comfortable than my Yoeleo R12 on 3+ hour rides. I have no problem hanging on to fast-ish group rides (33km/hr avg, 600m elevation, 85km), I also set a few KOMs in my area already with this frame. I don't feel like I have lost any speed going from the R12 (aero-ish frame) to this one, but I am not A grade material with insane watts, I'm just a 42 year old weekend warrior, mostly riding solo, at 2.9wpg. Definitely not an all out aero bike and it's no Cervelo S5, but I am happy with it for what it is. I was looking at an Specialized Aethos but I came across this and I was able to get it custom painted for a fraction of the cost

I give it a proper look over - it's flawless. Didn't see any overspray into places there shouldn't be paint.
I had a look at their painting process video before so I was somewhat confident it would turn out nicely:

Here's my FL1 aka the Pikarello. I designed some decals, picked the paint colour and ICAN took care of the rest. They sent design mockups and numerous photos throughout the process regarding the paint colour, sizing and position of the decals and followed up when I forgot to reply to their emails. Very happy with the service.
Painted 52cm frame weighed 875 grams. Build quality according to my untrained eye is well above the Yoeleo R12 I'm coming from which had many issues I was never happy with. Internal photos - see for yourself. I appreciated the faced brake mounts. I have done several hundred kms on it so far and it's a ripper of a frame. Stiff yet comfortable, I've smashed plenty of Strava PBs so far.
No problems with the T47 BB and the Magene PES P505 crankset.
