"Super light" 1050g

What a joke

It is full T1000... At least 1%  ;D.

Ignoring the obviously false T1000 specification, it does seem like a pretty interesting frame. T47 bottom bracket, UDH, 32C tire clearance, full internal cable routing, decent geometry… It’s going on my list of potential frames for sure

I do like the look. But 1052gr in size S is not that light.

I'm looking for a sub € 700,00 frame that is sub 1000gr in size M. I also prefer open mould over a blatant copy :) Looking forward to all the new 2025 frames that a being announced this time of year :)

You have lightcarbon lcr017 which easily falls into that. Mine is 58 and painted was under 1050g

It looks a bit like the BMC team machine R. I am tempted.

This gives me Cervelo Soloist / VB-r-099 / LTK 268 vibes personally.  much lower stack vs those others though, more "aggressive"

I do like the shapes and all the details for this frameset.
What makes me hesitating is weight definitely.
But actually you can't find actual frame weight sits below 1000g on this forum except Aethos inspired ones.
So maybe this is not that heavy.
But biggest problem is you can't expect superb customer service.
I've been communicating with Jessi from Tantan for last 3 weeks, got only 2 replies.
Which means you have to pray for flawless product to be delivered in front of you.

You can definitely find frames which weight under that 1kg.

This frame gives me mixed feelings. It seems pretty good looking, however weight seems quite high especially for an S size, and geometry is quite a bit on the aggressive side (more aggressive than the SL8 at least in 58).

Somehow Tantan currently seems to be releasing a new frameset onto the market every week, which is a deal breaker for me...
