Re: TanTan TT-X21 frame I went for a size 56. I am 187cm tall and I felt like i was in between a 56 and 58. I went with the smaller size and got the longer stem and it fits perfectly. Its possible to make a smaller bike fit bigger but its not possible to make a bigger bike fit smaller!

I wouldn't buy off any website, Email the companies and discuss the bikes and what you want before ordering the pay via paypal. The stock available might help you decide what bike to get. For example I wanted a 38cm wide bar and they were out of stock, the wait would have been an extra month so instead i went with the 40cm bar that was available immediately. Ask lots of questions and make sure they have everything in stock. The speed of the replies and honesty of the sellers will help you decide which one to go for.

HI All
I ordered a TT-X21 on the 18th November. It was shipped on the 15th December.
I just got a notice that it it is at custom clearance having traveled via train from China.
Nearly there

Do you see where that train started and where does it stops?
And how many days is the trip?
Are you in Europe?

Re: Tan Tan GR040 Build Only update I have is that the frame seems to have got stuck during the "Last mile" delivery phase.

Hasn't moved since 5th Jan.

Got the mech etc. All AliExpress parts. I do know I need a different BB to the one I have but I'll wait until the frame arrives before buying anything else.

The frame finally arrived. It was well packed and the quality looks excellent. The lower fork bearing fits.
I ordered an extra derailleur hanger and handle bar spacers, but these were not included.

I have a dilemma. I got a Ztrace press fit Bottom Bracket with the groupset, I ordered a ZTTO BB86 threaded press fit bottom bracket, but ordered the 24mm instead of the 30mm. I am waiting on the replacement. Do I build the bike with what I have or wait for the better Bottom Bracket? I am concerned about removing the pressfit bottom bracket.

 The frame is 1160grams.

I think I have the same groupset from Zrace store.  My cranks were 29mm spindle, were yours 30mm?

Re: TanTan TT-X21 frame I think Token makes a DUB bb86 option that is similar to the ztto

Re: TanTan TT-X21 frame Got my frame last friday. Quality seems to be realy good. The stem clamp system looks great and works perfect for me. I'm wating for the bottom bracket to arrive to finish the build.

TanTan (Lisa) are sending out the spare derailleur and handlebar spacers via EMS. I might wait for spacers to arrive. China Post are predicting 2 weeks. We are in 5km from home lockdown, so I wont be able to do much cycling until 5th March.

I was wondering which headset bearing is on the top and bottom of the Fork? the wider one or the narrow one?
The internal wiring is very difficult. I am waiting for a better bottom bracket than the Zrace one.
I assume that you get the internal cabling working before inserting the Bottom bracket. The front derailleur is tricky with the wire protruding from the frame. There is a small allen key bolt on this. Do you tighten it?

Here is an early picture.
Not familiar with this particular frame but what helped me on one of my frames was using a strong magnet to guide the cable(s) to/through the hole. I know Park Tools also sells a internal routing kit that looks like it can be potentially helpful- a shop that I worked a couple of shifts at had one and I can definitely see it being useful depending on the particular situation/application.

5km from home... you must be Irish!

This guy has done a series of how to build up a bike with similar cable routing to yours.

Re: Yishun R014/ Light Carbon LCR015 Vs. Velobuild VB-R-079 Finally my bike built is finished. It takes longer than expected because of shimano parts were out of stock or incredible high price at shops locally.
But yesterday was all done and made a short ride on the beach side. Very happy with final result and hope quality will remains the same.
Most of parts are used is shimano 105 R7000, the handlerbar is a ritchey wcs ecocurve.

Re: TanTan TT-X21 frame Hmm the zrace hybrid hydraulic disc brakes are not an optimal solution together with the internal cable tt-x21 handlebar. You have to pull on your brakes really hard to get an acceptable braking power. Shifting withe the sensah empire would be fine but for me the brakes are a nogo. Had to order a full hydraulic setup.
