Re: My TanTan FM199 they are fine, My wife and I both prefer full suspension bikes.  35+ years of riding mtb since 1984 is hard on my body.  I decided a hard tail road bike and a hard tail fat bike is fine, everything else is full squish.

Winow FS030 / TanTan Seraph FM038 Builds Finished two the Winow FS030.   Same as TanTan Seraph FM038 Builds, in fact - I think  TanTan Seraph FM038 does not actually build these direct based on my interactions.  These were designed to be "Trail-XC" bikes, 120mm front and back.  We're on test run #4.  Really only one bug with both builds.   Here's my wife's medium.

Curious If anyone has sampled one of these yet
Looks a shameless fox knockoff wondering if that goes for the internals as well?

Anyone test pilot one?

no way is it going to be a fox knockoff internally.  You will get what you (we) pay for.  Not knocking it, I may try one on my next 140mm build  It's getting too expensive to keep funding 5k~6k bikes.  I need a heavier bike for slow family rides, this may do the trick.

That's why I use centerlock :) I forgot to mention that my rotor offset differences were on CL hubs.

over 20 carbon wheelsets here - most all all DT350 hubs - all 6 bolt.  Never stripped out one even after repeated rotor swaps.

TanTan'd again seraph cs197 fat bike frame brake mount out of spec TanTan'd again.  My fifth TanTan build, my seventh frame in total (sold two new unbuilt) since 2018.  Four frames have had issues - not minor ones either, including one cracked frame. 

This one takes the cake.  I should have learned my lesson with this china crap and bought a name brand to replace my cracked Borealis crestone but I figured I'd roll the dice since I badly wanted a frame to accept a 5.05" rear tire.

Well, my seraph cs197 fat bike frame brake mount out of spec.  The hole pattern is 27mm on center where the standard is 34mm. 

Throwing this out there.

Good luck to you all, in your builds, I am absolutely done with dealing with TanTan for any frame needs - after they fix my issue.  Any money I "saved" by going cheap on a chiner frame+fork+paint vs just getting something "name brand" even if it was made in china, is now out the window in lost hours of specifying, ordering, and assembling and dealing with issues.  There's a definate lack of QC/QA over at TanTan and it shows.  It's been that way for me since 2018.  Highly recommend you pass.  You might get lucky with your sample, but for me, 50+% of the time, you'll come up snake eyes.

Re: Best "Downcountry" 120ish-mm Frame for Long Climbs and Rough Downhills well let me just say Winow FS030 is not recommended as durable.  Did this last night on a 2' drop at speed.

Re: Winow FS030 / TanTan Seraph FM038 Builds Dead Winow FS030.  did this last night on a 2' drop at speed.  Going to end my ice bike season a bit early this year.  Pieces of junk most of these china bikes are.  There's no overtravel limits like all other commercial brand carbon bikes I own.
