GV201 / GR201 from TanTan / Seraph, LongTeng, Mondince or Tideace?

Mondince got back to me with pricing and seem really responsive - and are also cheapest. Have updated original post.

Have taken a punt and ordered a frame Mondince. Will keep the thread updated on progress!

To further stir the pot - Mondince claim their frame is 100% T1000...

which is interesting as the following is qouted from their FAQ:

Which carbon fiber you use?

1.For normal weight frame, we use Toray T700 and T800 carbon fiber.

2.If customers want to get lightweight bike frame, we will choose T800 and T1000 carbon fiber.

All frames will be passed 130% ISO 4210 test standard. If the customers want to get certificate from EFBE, we can do that for them.

Did the same today, also delivery time was shorter than the other three vendors. Hope our bikes don't get mixed up

Nice, what colour did you go for? I've gone with a colour from another frame order I saw on Reddit:

That's CJ's bike. He presented it on this forum in Mondince topic. The color is PANTONE 7536 C.

Ah, thanks for the heads up - will take a look. Yes, he confirmed the colour on Reddit, I was going to go for a Warm Grey 5C which was similar but thought it was safer to order one someone already had seen in the flesh!

Went for Pantone 454C. Curious how it turns out in the end, really difficult to find a color on non-calibrated displays.

Frame is ready to ship and got a QA video from Jack earlier (screengrab below). Looks good I think!

Have they changed the storage box? Looks like a new generation compared with CJs bike?

They're not the same frame models

Got the same video also on thursday - the color differs slightly for me, but this is most likely due to the lighting conditions, camera, and my display.
Have you received a shipping link yet?

Hainesy · December 29, 2025, 03:20:59 AM

Yes, got tracking details, was on a flight over the wknd so expect I'll see it in a week or so.

I've been extremely happy with my GV-201 from LT. Alisa was easy to work with, I picked a green over carbon and it looks great. I think I paid $769 to get it into the US back in August, was about 28 days from payment to delivery.

Hainesy · December 29, 2025, 08:02:49 PM

Nice, do you have a picture of it built?
