Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: ICAN GRA04 Gravel Frame
« on: November 25, 2025, 09:22:20 AM »
Yishune G015 is the frame.

Thank you, but the ICAN Frame arrived long ago as you can see in the pictures ;)

And after, nearly, 2000 km I´m still very happy with the frame and the whole build :)

Ordered one today for < 60,00 €, with coins and code, to germany. Even if its crap, it will not really hurt for this price  ;D I´m pretty happy with my IGPS 630 S, so I´m hoping i will be happy with the lw10 too.

I ordered the IGPS 630S last week. Should arrive today. Planing a gravel tour this weekend, so I think I can give you a first feedback at saturday evening CET.

Ican is a great manufacturer, their Graro is excellent quality. I’ve made an enquiry about the GR04 to see if I can get one in the UK.

The quailty of the GRA04 frame is excelent. Same for the integrated cockpit, the fork and the seatpost.

I have an ICAN GRA04 Frame. So its possible to get one. But I've heard from other whom asked for it, and were not able to buy one. I dont now why they sell it to normal customers sometimes, and sometimes not. But you can give it a try. But I have to warn you. It took ICAN more than 3 month to deliver it (simple 2 colored custom paint job), and the storrage in the downtube is just a hole with a cover. You have to build/3D print something to use it properly. Otherwise everything you put in there will fall down to the BB.

I build my first bike last month. A ICAN GRA04 "Race" Gravel Frame (there is a thread in this forum). With bottle cages, pedals and a toptube-bag its about 8.6 kg. I installed the Wheeltop eds gex. The wheelset is the elitewheels ent gravel carbon with 45mm hight. The frame have 50mm tire clearence.

So I would say it "fits" your criterias. Without the tools it costs around 2300,-/2400,- € including shipping, tax and a custom paintjob. I used some non-Ali products, like the chain, the tires and the bar-tape

The build went smooth. Watched some tutorials before and during the build. There was no problem I couldnt fix myself.

I did weight it, really quick. With tubeless milk, a toptube bag and a little dirt,  its 8563.  But just with a cheap luggage scale. So there is a little +/-.

After the first rides, its time for a little feedback. You can find my buildlist in the attached picture.

The paint:
I´ve choosed a custom paintjob in dark green and matte black. The paint looks really good. I´ve found just one speck of dust below the paint. And they have done everything exactly like I told them.

The carbon quality:
Nothing bad to say. Everything looks well made and I found no loose carbon strings, holes or anything like that

The build:
Went really smooth. It was my first build, so I´ve done some mistakes, wich took some time. But beside that, everything was good, even for me as a newbe in bike builds.

Positives:
- The build is a blast to ride. It is so much fun, no matter wich underground. It feels safe and it feels fast
- The beginning process of communication with ICAN was fast, friendly and they have answered everything I asked them for

Negatives:
- The weight. It´s more heavy than expected and more than they say on the website. After my feedback, they changed the weight on the website from 1050 to 1100. So they accept criticism, thats positive.
- The production and delivery time and the communication with ICAN in the later process. 3.5 month from payment to delivery is way to long. And they lied multiple times about the estimated delivery time.
- The downtube storrage. Its just a hole in the downtube. If you put something in there, it will fall down to the bottom bracket. No bag or anything. I will print a solution for that, but its really disapointing, that you cant use the storrage from the start and you have to build something on your own.

So I´m happy with the build and, mostly, happy with the frame. But I'm not happy with ICAN. And for my next build I will go for another brand.

How did you manage to get this frame? I contacted Ican about it but they refused to sell it b2c

I just asked for it directly with "get a quote" at the homepage. I´ve done nothing special. From that point it was the normal process:
Choosing the size, color scheme, pay for the frame, and waiting far too long...
I asked for it in January. Maybe they stoped selling the frame to normal customers.

Not that happy with the bottle. There are a lot of scratches on it, just from pull it and put it back from the cage 3-4 times.
Drinking from the bottle is ok. Nothing special or bad about drinking. They are cheap (3 for 8,-€), but I wouldnt buy them
again...

hi guys,

just some quick shots, from my first ride with the GRA04. I will share my experience later.
But as a short feddback:
The build went smooth, without any problems, and I´m pretty happy with the bike.

Hi,

thank you for the recommendations. I think getting a little mad, also via facebook/instagram, helped. The frame is now finished with painting, and ready to be send out.

Hi guys,

I need some help. ICAN is not able to send my GRA04 Frame. I ordered it 3 month ago, and now I dont have any patience or trust, that ICAN will send me the frame. It was ordered with a simple 2 colored paintjob. I definetly

Now I need a similar Frame. I ordered it in size "M" - 53. Is there something like the GRA04 out there?

- lightweight
- storage space
- integrated cockpit
- UDH
- Tire size up to 50 mm
- similar geometry

best regards
