Title: Seraph / TanTan X-22
Post by: Mikeyblue on September 26, 2022, 08:44:35 AM: Hi All,

I have been doing some digging and found the below frame set.

https://www.seraphbikes.com/2020-new-flat-mount-disc-carbon-road-frame-bicycle-frameset-t1000-new-eps-technology-disc-carbon-frame-tt-x22-p3435714.html

It seems to tick most of my boxes. Looks quite aero, 28mm clearance, T1000, relatively lightweight, complete integration etc.

I like the look of this frame. Looks similar to the SystemSix frame although geometry is quite different.

I was just wondering if any members had any experiences of this frame. I have seen some posts stating that Seraph’s after service is sometimes not the best. I will keep digging for information on here and other pages.

Kind Regards,

MikeH.

It remains on the shortlist though along with a whole raft of others......

The search continues!!

I tried to purchase this frame a couple of years back, but they had no stock. I ended up with the TT-X21 instead. After a year or so, I felt like the frame I did have was probably a size to big so I reached out to TanTan again to ask about the X22. Again, no stock.

Just an FYI, I guess. If you want one, gotta be persistent I guess. And, it looks a lot like the old Venge VIAS, which is why it caught my eye.

I have emailed Seraph and they have some available currently. Tempting.....

Seems like...They are trying to ~~get rid~~push of the x21 and the x2.... They must have a huge stock
