Any particular reason why one would go with this TanTan frame over a VeloBuild or Dengfu?

And isn't TanTan part of one of the larger brand conglomerates?

Well, what sparked my interest was that it pretty much is a SL7 (seems to be pretty popular :) ) geo wise, without looking like a copy of that frame. Which I kind of like. That, and the fact that I previously owned a TanTan frame and was pretty pleased with the quality.

But I have to admit i´m leaning towards ordering a VBR 177 frame and slap on some 50/60 mm wheels combo, maybe Superteam.
Look forward to your review of that bike with proper wheels, if you find the time :)

Re: Tan Tan GR040 Build Hi all!

Just got my GR040 built up, well everything but the brakes is done :) so no riding for a couple of days until the brakes arrive.

Bought this frame instead of the more popular Carbonda frame due to it has a lower stack and is geo wise more like a road bike (wheelbase apart).
I plan on using it as a bike for faster gravel rides and some road riding as well. No adventure riding  :)

I found an older, used Sram Red group and will use Juin Techs for braking. Wheels are a pair of Elite Wheels with 40mm deep and 29mm wide rims. Scwalbe G-one Allroad 622x40 tires. Lots of space for wider tires.

Frame is painted by me and with some custom decals. Totally stole the name from an other guy who built up a VBR 168, sorry for that if you see this :) Also sorry for the cell phone pics

Weight is unclear at the moment and of course how it actually rides, but i can update that later on if anyone is interested.

Ordering process was straight forward and the frame shipped out with DPD within a week. Took about 1 month from payment to delivery at my door.
