I bought directly from ICAN in China, the non-twisted version. Also had a carbonda prior and ICAN is ahead from a overall quality perspective..
Facing will be done? Mine was, but somewhat half-hearted.. BTW, my ICAN X-gravel shipped with beyond fixable bent derailleur hanger and middles components of the saddle mount, better check once you receive yours..
Hi All, I recently completed my gravel bike make over. Brushed up and spray painted that aluminum frame. Documentation and results here: https://youtu.be/IoaJVKx3rYM Cheers Rick
Same here. Very happy x-gravel customer. Great quality. Also have a road frame from ICAN, highly recommended. Alex_C wrote: I ordered the ICAN X-Gravel which is the same mold as the 696. ICAN has US warehouses. My frame…

Did anyone recently ship a 696 to the US? If so, how long did it take and what was the cost? Thanks

Oh wow, this is a clear sign of a poor paint job. I wonder if the blue paint has been painted on top of another layer of paint (a big no-go). Can you take a close up macro shot? Are these blisters elsewhere on the frame…
