What does anybody knows about TanTan X67 ?

Considering between X67, X68 and X69.  I'm also considering the XMCarbon Speed CS-R01. Any thoughts about XM Carboon Speed or TanTan ? I prefer to get the wheelset together, and Peter seems to be a better option.

Thanks !!

Tantan sent me a geometry chart of the X67

What is it a clone of this time ? I cannot decide if I want to build a new bike and which frame... the price added up, shipping, tax, painting...

Can't say I recognise the aesthetic. I like the seatstays, could contribute a bit of compliance. The geo is a bit too relaxed for my taste and the seatpost has a disgusting amount of setback. Downtube looks a bit square, but the viewing angle isn't great

Stack and Reach are identical to the Factor Ostro. Angles not quite. Also the shape is not identical.

Not even close to ostro or aeroad

Could be the Canyon Aeroad CFR. Also a similar geometry as the Factor Ostro VAM.

Looks nothing like a Canyon Aeroad.
Geometry quite similar to X68 at least in 56

So , TT-X68 is a clone for SL8 and TT-X69 is a clone for SuperSix Evo ?

TT-X67 looks like a Specialized Shiv TT. Not sure which one but the shape looks the same.

Seems like it, the geometries are the exact same and the tube shapes seem identical to the naked eye

Trek Madone Gen 7/8 clone coming next lol "X70"

They already have a Gen 6 clone, which I built for a buddy of mine  ;D

Could it be Seka Spear although that would be a strange one to imitate..... but I couldn't find geometry for Seka Spear...

I'll be honest, this doesn't look anything like the spear... Different seatstay-seat tube connection (no wind-eye), the lower part of the headtube where the fork connects is also different compared to the seka, you can see that the "edge" on the seka starts right where the fork connects, while the edge on the X67 is quite a bit lower down on the down tube

Besides the fact it's not remotely similar, why the hell would they want to copy seka?
