Anyone use a power saddle replica from AliExpress? I have 3 drop bar bikes and I think it’s time to break up with my Fizik Airone saddles.

HAHA I was waiting for someone to flag. I sent this to a buddy who is all about aesthetic and knew it'd be the first thing he said too!

Noticed it after mounting and din't want to peel it off and fuck with sealant and all that nonsense when it doesn't actually have any real impact on slicks other than aesthetic.

I'll probably flip it when I swap my bars since i'll be back in 'get liquid everywhere' mode bleeding out my brakes.

while you are at it, you also need to line up your logos with your valves ;)

Got this all setup and have only ridden on the trainer, but it really feels solid.

Anyone using the bar above with mechanical shifting? The bends seem rather aggressive with the 11 speed sram shifters.

Eddy, do you have any photos of this frame with bigger than 45-47mm tires on it? I'm just making sure this will actually clear the tire size that your sheet says it will.

I guess at some point it has to be a certain length to clear the rear tire width... hoping for something shorter. 415-425 range.

I have built one:
http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4012.msg42529.html#msg42529

Only have a few hundred miles on it as its my wifes, can confirm the geo is much more "race" than my 696.
Frame is a bit rough around the edges, but appears to be structurally safe.

Also, does it look like it clears 45-50mm tires?

that is good to hear, I still want a racey bike but dont want it to be totally like riding a couch. It seems that its hard to find this, i want the 50mm clearance!

Apparently BXT has a pretty bad rep in Brazil, especially for not honoring factory defects, etc. Their gravel frame doesn't seem so bad, if not a bit heavy (though it does have big tire clearance). This lady on YT built one up and made a video:

watching this now, lets see how this goes...

Anyone rolling this frame? Looking for a racey bike with 47mm clearance. Currently on a Large Exploro. I like the regular seatpost of this frame.

I'm looking for one as well, with a longer reach. 130mm stem length with 75mm bars is what I'm after.

Only one I found so far was this:

Haha I'm almost certain I will sell the TanTan mainly for geometry reasons. And redundancy of road bikes.

Like it’s tooooo aero and harsh?
