Yeah... From a geotechnical standpoint, that one seems pretty interesting to me too—but you probably won't be able to order it for another year, once the kinks have been worked out, unless you want to be a test driver

Are there any updates to the A9? I own the A40 from ICAN and am extremely satisfied with its performance.
However, it does not have UCI certification, which will be a greater focus here in Germany next season...

This model has been around for a few years now. Have there been any notable updates?

What do the long-term tests say?

I would build this bike specifically for crits.

Yes, I've just found a few others that look pretty much the same.

Except for the branding and color of the screws and accessories.

for Example:

I'll be honest... if I showed up at a race with a KOCEVLO-labeled handlebar, there could be trouble because it's “the” AliExpress brand

I'd rather have something unlabeled or unknown than branding

I rode it in the Eifel (flat / hilly / slightly mountainous).
But I also spent a week on Mallorca with it. tramuntana mountains - Sa Calobra etc... But of course also flat routes.

A great bike.

But of course a different application than a thoroughbred aero bike or criterium bike.

I've just replied to reckonair privately and don't want to withhold it from the thread.

I built the LC for rides and/or road races, I think it's in the same genre as an SL7 or SL8... All-rounder...

The landscape here is varied. I can ride flat, hilly and mountainous. It's perfect for that.

But in my opinion not necessarily suitable for criterium races ... Geometry somehow doesn't suit me.
I ride licensed races (circuit and criterium - so both 1-3 km “in a circle” ) For this I had built up the ICAN A40 (identical in construction to the Cinelli Pressure). It's stiff! and it really moves forward!

Due to my promotion I got a place in a racing team and we got Merida Scultura for the next season - meanwhile also an all-rounder... That's why I sold my LC with a heavy heart a month ago, as I didn't want to let it sit in the cellar for 1-2 years. We also get wearing parts replaced, so pragmatically it wouldn't have been clever to keep the LC.

For crit races and fast road races, I would definitely prefer the ICAN.
Outside of crit races, the LC.

Before I sold it, I took a few pictures for my souvenir album

I was looking for one early this year and ended up with deda Vinci.Great looking stem.

I also like the da Vinci stem - above all it looks very clean and allows me an even lower position.

Instead of a Vinci handlebar or handlebars with a DRC system, I think you could also use any other suitable handlebar that has an opening in the middle of the stem, because they say something about DCR compatibility...?
Or am I seeing this wrong?

Same question now.
