This has become my full time frame. I built a Tideace frame , FM-R185 bought on eBay, they were very easy to deal with , i got XL frame , 59 cm, fits perfect, came with bb 386 and headset both fit well. I had it partially painted with decals to match and all shipped to USA for $500.00 which was $425.00 for the bike and $75.00 for painting and decals, all in matte. And no tariff in USA. Took about 30 days from order date to receive.
I have TRP hy/rd flat mount brakes on it, 160 mm in front and 140 mm in back, these are cable actuated hydraulic brake, love the brakes. Set up 1X11 , 50 11/28 right now.
It also has toseek carbon stem, toseek carbon bar 440mm and Light Bicycle 56 mm wheels with schwalbe pro one tires 700X28 running tubeless with Pillar bladed spokes 28 hole and novatec 791/792 hubs, both are bolt thru and cable with the thru axles, 12X100 and 12X142. I haven't weighed it but its light. All the rest of drive train is shimano 105. I use shimano spd pedals and have a Fabric Cell saddle.
The only issue to date has been the aero seat post. I found by putting a layer of thin tape once around the frame that gives removes any play and slippage coupled with good fiber grip paste, i like both Park tool and finish line. Most bikes both big manufacturer and open mold with aero posts deal with slippage problems.
