Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
Hi everyone!
Joining the club.

Frame size: 58, weight: 8.6 kg without power meter and pedals, 9 kg with power meter and pedals.
Components:
•   Wheels: DT ER1400 Dicut
•   Tires: Panaracer Gravelking SS R 40 mm
•   Groupset: Mechanical SRAM Rival/Force with Garbaruk cassette, chainring and cage/pulleys
•   Brakes: TRP Spyre
•   Seatpost: Ritchey WCS Carbon Link Flexlogic
•   Handlebar: Ritchey WCS Carbon VentureMax
•   Saddle: Lunje Carbon (looking for a replacement for my beloved but heavy Brooks)
•   Stem: No-name (testing fit for now). An 80 mm was too long for me (my height is 186.5 cm); I’ll switch to a 70 mm Thomson.
By the next season, I plan to upgrade to an electric SRAM Rival and GX T-Type mullet setup and build a beefy carbon wheelset. I noticed Peter being mentioned here, so I’ll check that out.

Pros:
•   The paintwork and carbon finish are excellent (except for the seatpost, which looks so-so).
•   Storage box is cool.
•   The headset is decent.
•   Packaging was great; everything arrived perfectly.
•   Eddie is loyal and responsive.
Minor cons:
•   I don't like the seatpost clamp outwardly.
•   Axles are heavy.
•   Bolts are heavy.
•   The front derailleur mount was installed before the lacquer dried, leaving unsightly marks underneath.
•   Assembly recommendations would be helpful: what plugs go where, which holes are for which cables, etc.
Major cons:
•   The rear axle is too long.
I still don’t understand why; there are no similar reports on the forums, but my 171 mm axle doesn’t clamp the wheel—it leaves a 2 mm play.
Thanks to Eddie for quickly sending me a shorter axle with no questions asked, but the root cause remains unclear. For now, I’ve temporarily solved the issue by using a washer from another UDH hanger on the brake side, which allows the wheel to clamp properly. However, the contact point is now against the painted part of the frame, which isn’t ideal.

I transitioned from a steel Seaboard CX07, and my first impressions are as follows:
The bike is very responsive, easy to drive, but stable at the back. It is quite hard when pedaling, while riding comfortably off-road.

P.S. Magene P505 Spider fits good, there is a lot of space up to the frame

Really nice build!

This is an example of a simple, yet beautiful frame/bike

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Built finished and ready to rumble  :)
Did a small test ride and first impression is GREAT !!!, feels verry solid and stiff but too short to get a real good judgement but is promising  ;D

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 I finally completed the build of my TanTan GR201
The complete build has been 8,670 kg (pedals included) and this is the whole setup:
- TanTan GR201 frame with seat post kit, integrated handlebar and thru axles. Chameleon white color.
- Easedon wheels 40mm front profile / 45 mm rear profile, 27mm internal width and Pillar Wing 20 spokes.
- Sram Red E1 levers and brakes
- Sram Force cranks with powermeter. Garbaruk 42T chainring
- Sram GX T-Type rear derailleur
- Sram X0 T-Type cassette and chain
- Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 45mm front tire
- Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC 45mm rear tire

I am very happy with the final weight, keeping in mind that due to area in which I live (Alpujarra in Andalucía, Spain) the terrain demands wide tyres and high knobs at least in the sides of  the tires.

The mullet development is also something that suits my area a bit, where there are very, very hard and very long climbs. Perhaps for those with more legs or those who live in a less mountainous area, they can opt for the new 13-speed Force XPLR that is supposed to be released in spring.

I can't train because I'm recovering from an operation, but today I went out for a ride with it and the truth is that the sensations are very good. The bike seems agile and is very, very comfortable.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
Hi again,
I completed the build, with the SRAM GX and Rival shifters, and set out to test it around Issyk-Kul Lake (about 450 km), driving around it in two days. The temperature range from -27°C to 0°C. Out of the total distance, about a third was proper asphalt, and the rest was a mess of varying bad conditions (gravel, ice, snow).

Wow, you're in Kyrgyzstan! I've seen some footage of the Silk Road Mountain Race and the cycling there is breathtaking! Not to mention the Kyrgyz cuisine must taste amazing after a long bike ride! Just thinking about it, makes me hungry! The closest Kyrgyz restaurant to me is in Chicago.  :-[

Nice bike as well!  ;D

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Thanks for all the members supporting.

We will have the updated GV202 mold carbon suspension gravel bike frame available sooner.

The private mold we will keep selling only for Tideacebike.

And we will make a groupbuy and choose one lucky guy for free of the new mold in the group on May.

We will show more information on next month.

Many thanks.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201


yet that should do the trick.
This definitely fixed it. Thanks!

I'll take more and better photos later, but this will give you a glimpse of the paint quality on the Noah I received.

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Just came across the pictures of my build and want to share it.

It is already 5 months ago, I finished it and love it since ever. Such a smooth ride! Thanks to the forum for the support and inspiration!

Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201 Finally finished and tested my first ever build. Rode only about 100 km yet, but like it really much.

Frame: Tideace GV201, size 54, pearl white
Handlebars: Lexon UNOX 500-80
Seatpost: Elita One 0mm offset
Groupset: Wheeltop EDS GeX, long cage
Cassette: ZTTO SLR Gen 3 12s 9-51t
Chain: YBN SLA1210
Crankset: Magene PES P515
Chainring: PASS QUEST 40T 0mm offset
Bottom bracket: Token BB47V24
Wheelset: Elitewheels ENT-DISC 40 from my previous bike
Brakes: ZRACE XG4
Rotors: Shimano RT56
Tires: Continental GP5000 32mm
Pedals: Crankbrothers Candy 1
Saddle: Ryet
Handlebar tape: BUCKLOS
Bottle cages: Kocevlo

The total weight with pedals and all the cages and mounts is about 8.5 kg. However, the wheels are quite heavy at 1700+ grams. Planning to build two other sets for road and gravel. Must be close to 8 kg with the road rubber and still about 8.5 kg with some fatties.

The total price is a little more than $1900, except wheels, tires and pedals, which I already had. Most of the components (except chain, tires and pedals) are from Aliexpress, Taobao and other Chinese marketplaces.

I'm 177 cm with 81.5 cm inseam, and size 54 frame with 8 cm stem fits perfectly.

Thanks to everyone on this topic for tons of useful info. And thank you @KopytoNieBladzi for the color scheme inspiration. The handlebar tape might seem a little bit odd on the photos, but it looks so much better in real life, in combination with blue brakes and bolts. Some other blue accessories are already in the shopping cart.

Some component notes:

The ultralight (303 g) 9-51t cassette works flawlessly so far. Had to screw in the tension bolt a little bit more to tension the chain properly on the 9t cog.

P515 crankset requires 2 mm of spacers to fit on the frame. It would work with 1 mm too, but some sand and dirt can cause rubbing. I also added 1 mm spacer on the left crank for balance. There is enough crankshaft length for that.

At first I bought a 44t chainring with 3 mm offset (Wuzei), but it didn't fit. The space between the chainring and a chainstay was a little bit more than 1 mm (with 2 mm of spacers on the crank). I ended up with 40t no-offset chainring.

ZRACE brakes work well but don't blow my mind, considering that this is 4-piston brakes on (kind of) road bike. The pads are squeaking as hell, will change them.
