Test ride pedals fitted”

I’d say so.
I would be a bit cautious about the frameset (just for QC) but the price is solid just for the groupset + finishing kit alone!

As far as Chinese frame sets go, the ICAN ones are decent. I’d say this is a good deal.

Seems like a lot of bike for the money, give it a ride and see how it feels

I don’t know if that drivetrain’s setup correctly. The fd’s too high and the chain’s too short. Maybe it rides and shifts fine but looks a bit jank to me
