They seem to be cartridge bearings. I would suggest using blue Loctite (or other brand stuff) on every pivot bolt. They can come loose while riding.

do you have photo bearing?

I'm having trouble finding photos of bikes with this frame online. I'm really interested in buying it. If I understand correctly, it's been out for quite some time, about a couple of years? The seller also offered me the handlebars, they look really nice, hb005

I ordered a large from TanTan via WhatsApp for $733 shipped (headset and thru axle, UPS air shipping, paypal fees). The frame received some sort of impact in shipping on the top of the head tube and is visibly cracked. TanTan was quick to respond, requested I file a damaged item claim with UPS (they did as well), and they say it should take about 20 business days to get another front triangle ready to ship to me.

Can someone take the frame apart and show the bearings, bolts, axles?

Hopefully they pack the frame(s) better. The headtube just had a layer of foam wrap and bubble wrap so it's understandable how the damage occurred. I would say thoroughly check the frame when you get it.
