My TanTan TT-X38 build, 2piece stem+bar ACR

[ejump0]

Hi guys,
Documenting the progression on my build here, n hickups/ issue if i encountered something, so can be useful for future builders.

My frame just arrived on 19Dec, after placing order on 18Nov.

Why did i choose this frame?
- inspired by Sebastian Kienle's scott foil Norseman Tri mod. This frame ACR compatible may make it possible to transfer over my tt912 cockpit if i have a hilly race (thus 2piece cockpit)
- my tt912 is a faf to fit into bike bag, as its so huge. its not about weight, but things i need to dismatle
- plenty aero for draft-legal duathlons, n i also already have clip-on stem mounted aerobar system if i dont fancy to transfer over my tt912 cockpit
- big clearance for wide wheels, n big triangle that i can fit big frame bag when i want to do bike touring + training camp


The ordering process went thru whatsapp, just like my tt912.
i did request for toptube boss mounts, it was a no go

What are you using for a aerobar setup? I am in the market and curious about the TanTan ones. You have pics?

this is my tt912 build thread > https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4754.0.html
it has the aero extension pics that came with the frame as package. 
in that thread theres also my green tcr pic that uses the controltech falcon mini mounted on stem with old alu J-bar. 
as im converted to sram axs, my tantan aerobar(with blips) can replace that j-bar

i havent started the build as i realized i forgot to order some jagwire brake cables for my mech disc brakes. also spent time installing sram axs on my tt912.

anyway, some pics of the internals (bb shell, seat tube, top headtube, bottom headtube

im dont have those mini cam. n not sure what im seeing, but the internal of tubes looks clean/no wrinkles with exceptions at the intersections.

the chainstays can clear my 28ew rims (gp5k 28mm blown to 29.3mm) with plenty of gap. d50cu-33 should be no issue. im removing the fd gromet n will use electrical tape to have more wheelwell clarance for chonk tires
