Wait so TanTan lurks this thread, never chimes in or engages its customer base, but steals photos for Instagram?
I've emailed plenty of my official photos to TanTan for usage and promotion. It's just not great optics to grab photos without tagging. Especially incomplete builds  ;D Sorry @Sander2177

Perhaps others also email their photos to TanTan for usage and promotion?

On leg length, inseam/inside leg measurement can be confusing.

I had a bike fit about 6 months ago and when the fitter measured my inside leg, he pushed his measuring tool very firmly up into my groin, very different from the way that I can remember a tailor rather more delicately and diplomatically taking my trouser inside leg measurement!

The result was that my inside leg according to the bike fit was around 5cm (2 inches) more than the tailor's measurement. I hadn't realised before the bike fit that these 2 measurements could be so different so I'm just sharing this in case others aren't aware of it.

For reference, my inside leg for trousers is 31 inches (79cm), the bike fit inside leg measurement was 84cm. My height, also measured in the bike fit, is 175.5cm.

The bars at the Aliexpress link posted by @greengoblinbean are still available to me. I'm in the UK though so it does look like Aliexpress sellers are  removing the links to products for US based customers.

Those bars are currently 92 GBP for me (roughly 120 USD) so at 80 USD, they were a great deal.

Really sorry to hear your story, it sounds like an awful experience. In these situations, it's not just the money, it's also the stress and aggravation it causes, and all the time you have to spend trying to sort it out.

Thanks for sharing this on the forum, it's really helpful for others to know what Winspace are actually like to deal with.

I contacted Ican to enquire about the FL1 a few months ago, I was in contact with Melody. If it's any help, her email address is - melody@icanbikes.com

Love the colour scheme!

I was thinking just last week that I'd like to build a bike with that kind of colour scheme. I have some of the La Vie Claire cycling team kit in the same style (as worn by Lemond and Hinault back in the 1980's).

Look have a frame in a similar style as well.
