ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame

The reviewer praises the ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame for its excellent value, UCI approval, high stiffness, and confident handling, but criticizes its maximum 42-tooth chainring limit for 1x setups as a significant drawback for fast gravel racing. He notes the frame is stiff and responsive, well-suited to fast gravel and mixed terrain, and recommends sizing down with a longer stem for agile handling. At $899 for the frame, he considers it a great deal, with a complete build costing around $6000.

However, he mentions some limitations: the frame only fits up to 45mm tires, the proprietary D-shaped seat post prevents dropper post installation, and there is a tendency to wheelie on steep climbs. He also mentions that the clear coat on his custom paint job scratched easily, but suggests that stock frames might have a tougher clear coat.
