Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Experience with TT-X8?
« Last post by Serge_K on Today at 02:48:37 AM »
Thank you, that is valuable information for me. Then I'd better not buy the frame and look around for an alternative.
VB is still liquidating this very popular model with users on this forum:

XS / XXS only, idk the size you need.

A week ago I also ordered a frame in size 58. Chameleon white.
In addition, wheels from Peter - 50mm/50mm (1160g), Shimano 105 di2, 3D Ryet Saddle, OSPW Ryet, Titanium SpeedPlay pedals and Magene P505 powermeter. I hope that in mid-may the frame will be delivered
Hi,
by chameleon white do you mean pearl white?
I was also looking at Ryet saddles...which model did you get?
Thanks

At tan tan, they call this "UD matte". That's also what I ordered :) They also sent some exemplary photos, which looked good...

Yep sorted and trigger pulled!

After payment, the shipment will be completed in 20-25 working days.
Shipping to the UK: about 10-18 days.
The factory has been very busy recently, and the orders have increased dramatically.
Thank you.


May get actual RAW frame and get it finished myself as lead in is only 7-10 days fir this but that’s also bars and seatpost

So how long have you been waiting so far?

Well I’m almost there just trying to explain to Vivian I want a RAW/naked Matt carbon finish not an actually raw unfinished frame  ;D
Appreciate English is not first language but trying to explain is hard work!
But will get there in end!

Question about the DAO Wave wheels.  What is the deepest wheels that you have in the wave version?
The maximum depth can reach 60mm

I payed March 13th. So 18  days which is ok and as I said it is really ok for me to wait a bit. Based on the times which I have read in this forum I expect it to arrive at the beginning of May. And yes the language barrier is real.

I wanted to order the frame in dark matte blue (like RedBull F1 Car/ Pantone 296C) but even Tantan said that they would not recommend the matte Finish because it scratches very easy. I am not sure right now. I have a Matte Black Rose Bike which does not have any scratches after 1 1/2 Years but I don't know if the paint quality from Tantan will be as good. My Airwolf frame seems to scratch more easily even tho it is glossy.

Maybe ask for only a matte clearcoat and no paint and leave out the "raw" part?

Any decent options that would suit a 31.8mm / 1 1/4" steerer? Thinking about updating the bars on my Grail.

Did some searching, but all options coming up were the smaller diameter.
Farsports has some good integrated handlebars. I have one as well. They have both for 1 1/8 and 1 1/4. I think it is the same handlebar, but you can get sleeve to fit 1 1/8. So originally is for 1 1/4. And they have lots of spacers matching for diferrent bikes.

I also got told yesterday that my frame has a delay of 5/10 day in production. Was kind of expecting it really. Im not in a hurry and for what I pay to wait a 1/2 weeks more is ok.
