hello, could you please confirm what frame brand is this and a link to it if possible?

I am 157cm and currently riding a CAAD10 in size 44 and this frame looks similar in size and geo.

thank you!

that's a TanTan X68 - basically a Tarmac SL8 clone. seraphbikes dot com.

This is a Tantan x68. If you're interested in this frame, be quick to buy it, because it looks like there isn't much stock left.

Excellent, I will check these out! We currently use a HUP 37cm CX bike but was hoping for something lighter and maybe more aerodynamic for the next build!

Thanks :)

Daughter has a HUP straatrace and I looked at bigger bikes as she is 150cm tall.  She still fits the HUP and going up to a 44 isn't really worth it at the moment. 
second pic is older with shorter cranks and a lower saddle.

the weight is unpainted with all the attachments removed but those frames are shockingly light, the fork is a featherweight too. I pondered grabbing one before i got the SL8. if, or more appropriately when, your kid drops me on this new rig, i'm gonna be hella embarrassed and have to get an unrestricted e-bike!


Haha.. and yeah even if it’s 650g with paint, that will still shave 600+ grams from his current frame. I will go all in and see how close to 5kg I can get.

His current setup is around 6.8kg

Got the frame in and overall I’m very impressed. Quality looks great and weight was right at 650 for the frame with dropout and fork was 310 uncut.

I’m doing the maths and even with some heavier wheels, I will be close to sub 5kg. The picture is with a cut fork, headset, spacers, stem, and handlebar at 1220g.
