Only thing I would suggest is going to a pathfinder pro in 47 if it fits. Wider, almost always, is better for off-road applications. Check out BRR for more info.

Thanks for the tip, I will look into it.
I live in an area where there is an overall great bike infrastructure (i.e. I don't need to ride on car roads basically ever) but a lot of the bicycle routes are actual gravel so I'll mostly ride on non-smooth surfaces but don't actually plan to go off-road.

Does ICAN also sell frames without decals? I don't like the strange TRIAERO branding.

I have now all the other parts gathered, still waiting on the frame and wheels.
Just today I got a confirmation that my frame is ready form the paint shop and will be sent out later today. Wheels are somewhere in transit.

That is nice looking frame. Is this black or something different?

HyperD

The colors should be LCB-07HS for the frame and YS 3003-1 for the text and logo

Do they offer spare rubber damper pieces?  I think I would want a couple on hand in the event they go bad and who knows how long the company would keep stocking them.

HyperD

From my interactions with them it seems they are happy to offer pretty much whatever you want so I'd assume spares should be fine. Haven't asked that though
