Title: Tantan FM639 (you have to see the paint)
Post by: Takiyaki on June 28, 2024, 02:58:57 PM

When I pulled it out of the box I was speechless

Going for a semi weight/watt weenie build; build sheet says it should be about 6.5kg with pedals but we will see.

Very nice frame. What components do you plan to use to reach that weight?

I have the ~1350g Elitewheels G35S (kind of wish I went for the 45s)

Main weight weenie parts are:
- Xpedo Ti pedals
- Chinese WW power meter crank set
- Light weight calipers/rotors (TBD)
- Aliexpress carbon/ti seatpost & Ryet saddle (should be about 200-220g cut)
- 36cm bars (preferably integrated + aero)

Going to run Ultegra shifters/derailleurs and GP5Ks but I feel like everything else will by China DTC.
