Quote from: crazyravr on November 02, 2026, 01:01:18 PMBut other than my gravel bike, all else is shimano and I already get a bit confused by the shifting when riding SRAM vs shimano one after another lol
I guess I just talked myself out of SRAM. Now I just have to wait for a better coupon and maybe Rakuten to go back up to 20-30%.
i feel u. but progressed the other way around. always had shimano on the bikes, still have ultregra mechanical (which i still love) & dura-ace di2 (sold this week), in came xprl, force and sram red on my too many bikes. and i started riding around with a gazillion mishifts  ;D 

i slowly started to dislike the shimano shifting logic, plus the fidling with the di2 battery, its cables and the charging. fully wireless is the way to go IMO

You dont miss the crisp and reliable shimano shifting? I have no issue with the battery or charging at all.... no idea what the big deal is. I used to have a D2 Rival bike and the shifting was not even close to a 105 Di2.

FYI...... the frame does NOT come with 7x9 carbon rail clamp, as I just found out. Ensure you ask for this when ordering.

Half built. Groupset is coming this weekend. The seat post is at 81cm from BB center and there is 5cm insertion, so just below the post clamp. Just to be safe I also have the longer seat post (which I recommend to anyone) coming along with the carbon 7x9 seat rail clamps. I will also remove the spacer from the stem to be at my height of 92cm from the ground to top of bar at the hoods.
Someone asked me show a photo of the front, to see the tubing... here it is.

Again, ican has been highly responsive and always quickly providing all the info.

It looks very promising... but I don't see the Ullicyc T6 handlebar! ;D

So, in the photo, is the saddle height (measured from the bottom bracket) 81 cm?

I can't wait to see the final result once it's fully assembled and to hear your initial riding impressions.

Yes the top of the saddle is at 81cm from the center of BB as measured along the seat tube. This is not the saddle I will end up with here, I need to wait for the carbon rail 7x9 clamps.
The T6 bar is in the box on the floor lol in this photo.
As for riding impressions, lets see...... rain, wind and just above 0C here for the next while. And after that I bet it will a lot of white shit on the ground.... so there is that.

We'll wait... ;)

Is the frame color pure white or a specific shade?
I can't tell from the photos.

Are the wheels you mounted the 52mm ICAN?

Do you happen to know if ICAN plans to apply for UCI certification for the frame?
I haven't read anything about it.

Last question (for now  ;D ): are there two or three seatpost clamp bolts? I'd say two, but what's the center hole for?

Thanks a lot!

Which frame size are you running? In your picture, the seat angle looks pretty slack—maybe it's your super high saddle, or just the perspective of the photo? In my opinion, the seatpost should sit a bit deeper to give it a cleaner, faster look. At the moment im not sure if i should pull the trigger of this frame...

Ican also send you me a build from one of their clients. On this picture seatpost looks a lot steeper in comparison in my opinion

I think it is the setback on the seatpost that makes it look more slack
