I finally joined the club, I ordered this frame from TanTan! I got matte black, and I’ll be adding some gold anodized accents for some color
The build is going to be
- TanTan frame, size 58
- TanTan bars, fork, axles, headset,
- 50mm deep, 26mm internal width rims, tubeless, from Peter
- GRX 2x12 groupset
- front and rear derailleur, 11-34 cassette, 160mm ice-tech rotors, cranks
- (ZTTO bar tape)[https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKAZEHZ]
Things I’m still deciding on:
- wheels manufacturing T47BB (seems like a good balance of price/performance)
- (bucklos 3d printed carbon saddle)[https://a.aliexpress.com/_mL9n5p5]
- some spd pedals? Probably just shimano
This is my first full build, and first road/gravel bike. I have a few questions though if anyone can help me out
Will the TanTan seat post clamp accept 7x9 oval carbon rails?
What is the seat post clamp diameter? I want to get a new anodized seat post clamp
For the flat mount brakes, do I need a mounting bolt length specific to the frame? If so, what is the right length?
Are there any parts I’m missing that I’m going to get stuck on during the build? I think I have most of the tools I need already just from taking care of my MTB, but with this being my first full build I might be missing some small parts that some of you take for granted
