Do you mind sharing price paid for the frame set? And did you ask for weight?

499$ with handlebar and seatpost, 200$ for two frames shipping.

Weight without paint for the frame in 45 is 758g, 928 with paint, derailleur hanger, screws and the horrible metal thingy at the back

Will be following your thoughts closely. Strongly considering this frameset or the TanTan X70 for a new build.

Frame was sent by Tantan, with a gr201 for a friend, looking forward for it ! I hope I'll receive and assemble it before leaving for holidays in two weeks ☀️

Could you send a pic of the front end?

How is the shape of the seat stays? Thickness and general profile. Can't really make it out from the pictures on TanTan's site whether it's a nice aero profile og more bulky - the single picture from the rear does make them look a bit bulky.

I had 3 problems :
- Rear brake mount was not flat, had to face it AND file the connection between the two screw holes (because the facing tool only face on 10mm diameter).

- Seatpost doesn't hold, Tantan says 8-10 Nm but even with 12 Nm, Carbon Paste and alloy foil from can, it slips. I need to find a solution.

-The front derailleur mount is also too much to the exterior, wich leads the derailleur to touch cranks arms. I tried with 105 di2 and ltwoo erX. As well as with ultegra cranks. I had to put a 2mm spacer on the crank axle

Otherwise i only did a 50km ride on the flat, nothing special, i'll see in the mountains.

Edit : the frame with derailleur hanger front and back, rear axle and screws was 853g in size 49, clear coat and black paint

I've had great luck putting a piece of clear bra/PPF on the seatpost whenever they keep slipping

Had to pack the bike in a bag yesterday for a trip but I took some clear sticker with me for that. @Zebenz also suggested that. We will see tomorrow, thanks 😁

Do you have a link to an Aliexpress item like this?

That bike is beautiful!!! TanTan already reposted it on IG! But the issues you have suck. I hope you can resolve them!

Any updates on this frame and the issues you mentioned?

I'm considering buying an X68, but this frame also looks interesting. After seeing the fork problems on the X68, I'm being cautious with this model as well.

Did you manage to fix the seatpost slipping issue and the front derailleur alignment problem?
Also, which handlebar are you using with this setup?

Thanks for your feedback.
