I want to build a gravel bike for my wife using this frame, but I'm a bit worried about the sizing.
She is 158 cm, do you reckon 49cm frame is ok (even with 70 mm stem), or still too big and I should look for something different?

Way too big, I'm 170 and have a 49

I am happy with the Lexon.

I flipped the Tideace bars and just received the Lexon. The compression ring seem to fit quite nicely to the diameter of the head tube, but I have ~1mm gap between head tube and compression ring - is that the same for you?

Also, I would prefer to slam the stem, but seems like it need the spacer with two "hooks" to fit - does anybody imagine any issues in removing two of the dots from the compression ring so the handlebar can fit directly without spacer?

I have the same 1mm gap

 I remove those dots with a craft knife. Have done this on the few builds with 3rd party bars, they're not really necessary just help to line everything up.

Does anybody know the difference between PU+blow molding vs EPS molding? Is Tideace method better than other suppliers of this frame? Maybe they don't use EPS at all and standard bladder instead?

I finally joined the club, I ordered this frame from TanTan! I got matte black, and I'll be adding some gold anodized accents for some color

The build is going to be
- TanTan frame, size 58
    - TanTan bars, fork, axles, headset,
- 50mm deep, 26mm internal width rims, tubeless, from Peter
- GRX 2x12 groupset
    - front and rear derailleur, 11-34 cassette, 160mm ice-tech rotors, cranks
- (ZTTO bar tape)[https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKAZEHZ]

Things I'm still deciding on:
- wheels manufacturing T47BB (seems like a good balance of price/performance)
- (bucklos 3d printed carbon saddle)[https://a.aliexpress.com/_mL9n5p5]
- some spd pedals? Probably just shimano

This is my first full build, and first road/gravel bike. I have a few questions though if anyone can help me out

Will the TanTan seat post clamp accept 7x9 oval carbon rails?

What is the seat post clamp diameter? I want to get a new anodized seat post clamp

For the flat mount brakes, do I need a mounting bolt length specific to the frame? If so, what is the right length?

Are there any parts I'm missing that I'm going to get stuck on during the build? I think I have most of the tools I need already just from taking care of my MTB, but with this being my first full build I might be missing some small parts that some of you take for granted

Hi guys!
What's the right size axles for this frame?

Jaypayne05

142x12 rear and 100x12 front. If that's what you're asking?

No. I'm asking about actual length and thread pitch. Axles usually longer than 142 and 100.
Would appreciate if someone can measure.

Hi!
The 171mm rear stock axle was a bit long with the usual dh, the seller sent 168, its length was fine.

I read about the State Bicycle All Road v2 (https://www.statebicycle.com/collections/carbon-all-road-gravel-bikes/products/carbon-all-road-v2-frame-fork-set-team-edition) last night.  It's obviously the TanTan GR201 but State is marketing it with 2.2" tire clearance rather than 50mm.  I've seen pictures with 2.2" tires in the front, and the clearance looks ok if conditions are dry, however, 2.2" wheel on the rear is a tighter fit.
