Hi All,
Does anyone know if the fork needs a crown race to be installed? When I try and slide on the bearing, it doesn't sit flush so I am curious if a crown race is needed.

Guys any idea how to instal this little plate? It's inside seatpost tube and keep the front deraillure hanger up. When I was trying to mount di2 cable this plate fall down 

I’ve been a silent observer on various forums discussing different frame options, and eventually decided on the TT-X68. Unfortunately, I now regret that choice—here’s why.
I placed my order on March 13th, selecting the matte black frame with a glossy black Seraph logo. I was quoted a lead time of 15–20 days. Communication was handled via WhatsApp with Rose.
Aware of potential production delays from others’ experiences, I reached out on April 9th and was told to wait another 7–10 days due to a backlog. I followed up again on April 23rd, only to discover—after several unread messages and eventually emailing Tantan—that Rose had changed her number. I reconnected with her on April 30th and was informed my frame would ship on May 6th, after the Labor Day holiday.
Throughout the process, I remained polite and patient, knowing delays can happen and because I wasn’t in urgent need—I have other bikes to ride. However, on May 6th I received no response. On May 8th, Rose finally replied, saying the frame was ready and she’d send pictures for my review. That’s when I was told the 100/400 handlebar size I initially ordered wasn’t reserved for me. I agreed to wait another week for it to be produced.
Upon reviewing the frame photos and video, I noticed a defect: the middle line of the letter "E" in the logo was missing. I raised this with Rose immediately. On May 10th, she responded that the package had already shipped and claimed the missing line was just hidden under a sticker film that I could peel off. The package arrived on May 23rd—71 days after my order, far from the promised 15–20 days.
Unfortunately, there was no film to remove. Instead, I scratched the paint trying to find it, leaving the logo looking like "SCRAP(H)." Rose’s solution was to send me a new logo to stick on, but that’s not viable—the original logo sticker is embedded deeper in the frame and paint and varnish layers around the logo are rising around the logo. I’m not willing to experiment with DIY fixes on a brand-new frame.
Her latest offer is a $30 refund and a replacement logo, or I can return the frame at my own cost—something I won’t accept. She also mentioned they didn’t charge me for the logo in the first place, which I find irrelevant. I’ve proposed two fair solutions: either they cover the cost of local repainting or handle return shipping.
We’ll see how the conversation continues tomorrow when she’s online again.

I purchased a Spcycle R088 frame, I asked them directly if the R088 frame is produced by them, or if they commissioned it from another manufacturer.
They replied that the mold of the R088 is theirs, that it is made in their factory and that they have not authorized dealers to sell their frame.
Then I told them that TanTan advertises and sells a frame (TT-X70) that seems identical to theirs... they replied that TanTan took only one sample from their factory and that they would not provide any more samples in the future.
I replied them that TanTan took a sample to copy the frame exactly and sell it as TT-X70...I was taken aback by their response: "Yes, this is very likely", as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
They confirmed what I have read on this forum: in the East they have a completely different mentality compared to the Western one and copying the frames of other manufacturers is not (evidently) seen as something unseemly or forbidden/sanctioned and that (except for "premium" brands that try to establish themselves with their own name) wanting to differentiate themselves from other manufacturers is not a priority for them.
Well, I honestly have not understood whether Spcycle is really the manufacturer of the R088 and TT-X70 frames, but I would say that it changes little in practice: it would be like buying a Bottecchia (Italian brand) 8Avio Ultimate, a frame produced and sold by Workswell (WCB-R-316).

Hello everyone,

Here is my update on the X68 build.

The frame arrived pretty fast and seems to be of good quality.
Unfortunately, the screw for the headset top cap was missing, and my request to TT for a replacement was not answered positively.

The build itself was not difficult.
The only issue was the alignment of the rear brake. I wasn’t able to adjust the rear brake so that the pads were not touching the disc. Finally, after using a 0.25 mm washer, I could adjust the brake caliper in an acceptable way. However, this should not be the standard, especially because you can’t insert the safety pin for the brake assembly screw.

The first rollout was fine so far.
Only the seat post slipped a bit, which I need to monitor during the next rides. Also, the headset play needed to be adjusted twice.

Overall, the first impression and experience aren’t that bad.
But hopefully, I’ll never have a serious issue, because I don’t think TT would take care of it.
