My frame is painted and ready for shipment. At least on the pictures on Instagram, my color combo works out pretty well imho 8)

I hope the quality meets my expectations on arrival.

Do you have a link to your Frame on Instagram?

Seraph has a pretty nice portfolio of their frames on their Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tantanfactory_bike_frame/?hl=en

I'm impatiently waiting for a few more reviews of the X68.

Not with this handlebar, it's the same on the real sl8 with roval rapide cockpit.

That’s crazy value.
Personally, Building the bike myself and sourcing components is part of the fun for me. Also, I like the piece of mind of knowing that everything is in check. But I’m pretty amazed at what you can get for your money from TanTan.

I wonder what an Ultegra build weighs and costs. That's impressive. I wish they'd start doing some more original lightweight designs.

and i can see a benefit of having tantan prebuilds. 
if theres something wrong with hole, clearances or odd niggles or defective parts, at least the 1st level fa/sorted out at tantan side. 

tho it takes away the fun of building your own bike from scratch

The Ultegra DI2 Groupset was about 1240$ without BB and Disc's. The weight difference is about 375 grams, when comparing the 105 DI2 and Ultegra, but only when not upgrading any 105 part.

Well  I emailed Tan Tan and asked some questions in regards to frame prices shipping times etc.
I did ask do Tan Tan manufactur the frame and I was told
‘About the manufacturer of TT-X68, confidential. Thank you.’
Hmmm so not sure about it.  They sell a frame that is obviously and SL8 label it an X68 and then will not confirm if they manufacture it which is strange I think.
