Ican S3 XC Frame

[HAYDENBRO]

Just adding the finishing touches today.

[HAYDENBRO]

32.1 pounds with a dropper, Chinese cassette and inserts. Like to get a Sid if the frame holds up, and drop the weight more.

Interested in how the frame holds up, lovely bike btw, your stem is upside down though

[HAYDENBRO]

I know the stem is upside down. Don’t intend on changing it.

To get a different angle or something? I've a p9 btw, been faultless so would definitely buy an Ican again

[HAYDENBRO]

Thanks! And that’s good to hear! I’m a big 6’5 295 lbs guy so if this holds up I’ll be tickled pink. Have hit the trails and some jumps and small drops without issue so far! And it is slightly dropped with the stem upside down but more or less to cause chaos lol!

I’d love a better fork, the Judy was a good deal and all I could find, but am going to keep eyes open for a 110-120 Sid, Sector or Pike, or a 34!

I literally flog the piss out of mine. Early on I had a small chainstay issue which ICAN sent me a new one - but I never changed the old one out. Regularly race enduro on mine, great frame.

I'm 6ft 220lbs so not a small guy either, plenty of jumps and drops done so I'd be confident enough in quality of their frames

I see they have a new paint color frame on their website, has anyone tried this color?

New Fork. The Judy was awful, but found this 100 mm XC 32 Stepcast and rode it on local enduro trails/park today and it’s really shinned today on natural hand built flow vs the machine cut trails.

Well, put my order in for a XL, unpainted....
We will see how long it takes to get to the UK, and how much I get stung on tax....
Also had to order some parts from germany, as there is no UK stock of anything worthwhile at a sensible price....
Its going to have a mix of spares and new bit build....
Rockshox Dulux 165*40
SID ultimates 120mm
GX/XT/XX1 mixed drivetrain
DT 240/EX511 wheels

Hopefully it holds up to the rocks in the peak, compounded by my inelegant line choices.....

[Ben78]

511 is an odd choice for a bike like this but you do you! I recently went to 471 on my S-works Enduro because I was sick of breaking wheels and they are proving strong. Have carbon on the S3 and have been very happy with how they perform. XM series rims are lighter build than EX but are still quite strong. I put a couple of thousand km of rocky riding on a XM401 with no troubles.

It's been 3 weeks now, did your frame arrive ok?

What headset type does this frame use? If it's ZS it could take -2 deg angleset right?
