I would probably want 4-6cm spacers on the GR201. So yes its all what you are fine with.
For a race bike i think the stack is ok. But not for gravel - even though its a gravel race bike.
Geometry-wise the 520 size has the best seat-/headtube-angles also. Then it gets worse for each size larger.

Regarding painting, its usually quite crappy from chinese manufacturers. No personal experience with TanTan, but Spcycle usually does so-so looking paint jobs when i have bought from them - especially around mounting holes of the frame.


You seem to have a pretty strong opinion on geometry. Knowing it’s a mix of matter of taste, physical preconditions, riding style, etc., what Frame would you recommend/ride yourself?

I just bought the Tideace and I can confirm that it is a sporty/race seating position but I think it’s quite nice to ride (tested it only for 30km so far.)

What's a good option for an integrated handlebar for this frame? Lenox one?

I am happy with the Lexon.

I have just talked to Eddy about the handlebar issues. He was not fully aware of general problems yet, since he did not receive a lot of negative feedback from customers. I think it would be good, to report back to Tideace so that they can offer a better solution in the future.

Here are some more pics. Really happy with the ride. Need to get to used to the new position (much longer than I normally ride) though.

Edit: since I am apparently not able to upload pictures here, you can find them at this link: https://imgur.com/a/gg5WnTE

How difficult or easy is it to setup Sram transmission derailleurs? Eagle or Red 13sp.

I haven't even ridden my finished build because Ive been waiting to swap the groupset. It's a shame really.

The frame has arrived.

I like the color. Looks live even better than on the pictures. Will protect top tube and other areas with protection film.

Now waiting for Wheelset and groupset so that I can start assembling it.

My Tideace frame is on its way.

No bolts in fork

Lexon Unox Gravel Cockpit and Wheelset (Nextie SGX with DT240 Hubs) is ordered. Hope it does not take too long (I was told 5-7 weeks).

Looks like Tantan is not so reliable when it comes to paint jobs?! Hope my Tideace will look like expected. Should be finished tmrw according to Eddy.

Finally...we are live on the channel. After a month in transit. I am freakin' PUMPED.

Size 54 came in at 1338g with both hangers and all 14 mounting bolts. 3g each
110mm cockpit. I'm 6 feet tall / 183cm and ride a 56 Tarmac SL8 with a 140mm cockpit. Yikes.

Love that champagne gold color.


I am 189cm with 90,5cm inseam and decided to go with the 58. Since I see a couple of you guys with only a few centimeters less going with 54 I am starting to question my decision.
