Ok, here the comparison on Geometry Geeks https://geometrygeeks.bike/compare/tantan-tt-x33-2022-54,tantan-tt-x33-2022-56,pinarello-fp3-2009-540/

Then you measured the Reach at 386, you are closer to a 54 than a 56 for the TT33. Only the Head Tube and the stack are lower so I would think it is a more aggressive position. If you take a 56 you may have to take a shorter Cockpit (but I would not go below 90) and maybe you can put the saddle slightly forward but you may be quite stretched... Your fitter should be able to give you a sound advice.

Thank you so much for that. I'll look into it in detail shortly.

Hi there,
After i built a GR029 with my boyfriend a couple of years ago, I am looking at Road Bike Frames this time.

I am wondering if any of you has experiences to share about the TT-X34, FM639 or FM619.

What is important to me?
Disc Brake
Thru Axle
Clearance for decent size of tyres (minimum 28 mm / ideally 32 mm).

Officially the TT-X34 has 30mm, maybe a 32 fits? What I don't like too much is the fully integrated Handlebar (means that you can play only with the spacers) and the specific seatpost.

From a frame design point while I like both, I have a preference for the FM639/FM619 (same geometry only a bit different weight so I don't know what is the difference...).  Anyone has one of these frames?

I have the TT X34 and can Measure the tire clearence

currently I have the x34, I will measure tomorrow. I also plan on posting a review after I put some miles on it.

Re: TanTan Seraph TT-X34, FM639 or FM619 Looking forward to that review Nick!

The X34 is currently on my shortlist. The geometry suits me in a 52cm. Also like the look of some of the Velobuild options so will be interesting to compare your experience with others who have built the VB frames.

Kind Regards,

Mikey.

TT-X34 Build/Ride First ~250 mile impression Hey guys, bought the tantan x34 which looks like a trek madone, different seat post and handlebar setup.

Some of you guys may consider this an endurance geometry, but im 6'7 and I need 600+ stack and 600+ reach, this is about as aero as I can comfortably go.

So here's the review. There's 4 things I'd like to talk about, three are important, one is a nuisance.

1. The seat post is so wide/thick, it won't fit into my clamp-style maintenance stand. I have a stand like the PRS 3.3-1, same exact clamping mechanism. The top tube and seat tube are likely not going to fit either, but I never would try those two personally because its not meant to be used like that.
2. Because the seat post didn't fit I laid the frame on top of the clamping mechanism with towels but during installation they shifted, causing the aluminum to meet the carbon and rub, which hurt the paint job/chipped it, and so forth. Now on a more expensive name-brand frame the paint job is likely going to be better and not have this happen, but this paint job looks solid, but it's not that durable. I hit it lightly with an Allen wrench by mistake moving the wrench from a chair to the handlebar area to tighten it and I chipped the top tubes paint.
3. The front derailleur is slightly misaligned, at least on mine and in my experience. I don't know if mines just a defect. Its probably not an issue if you run mechanical because boomaye on here ran ultegra on the dengfu r12, which I had/have (broken). I, on the other hand, with force etap axs have to use an angled spacer. https://osymetricusa.3dcartstores.com/ANGLED-WEDGE-SPACER_p_47.html
4. The seat post has been slipping, ive been 5+ miles from home where it's slipped down to the bottom and I look like an idiot riding it. The way I remedied this is by putting scotch tape (masking/tan tape) in-between the wedge and the seat post, the sticky part is against the wedge. This can be because the wedge isn't rough, its smooth so there isn't a lot of friction to help it, or the seapost/frame isn't properly made, but the little hack I talked about has been working for the last 100-150 miles without flaw. The seat post also comes with that sandpaper-type thing glued/built into it, but doesn't change the fact it slips. been torqued to spec (6 nm, assuming 6 is the proper tightness, don't feel like trying higher) and with carbon paste.
The handlebar/cockpit setup is just like the dengfu r12, in fact I think the handlebar is from the same exact supplier, nothing proprietary about it. If I needed I could use a spacer from my r12 on here, but I don't need to.
Overall though, bikes held up, it's extremely twitchy, disc brakes line up fine, nothing else to really talk about. Any questions feel free to comment.

Re: TT-X34 Build/Ride First ~250 mile impression Im running 25’s. I got PLENTY of room. Probably could run 32’s comfortably, but i have no desire to find out as its a road bike.

Re: Ok I am picking up the juintechs.. what cables do you all suggest?

I am getting either the juin tech f1 or gt.. I havent decided... what do you all use that you like for that not spongy feeling. Also I am a 100kg rider.

You can go Jagwire compressionless or try some these Risk competition level brake cables. I tried the training level cables and they do give a bit more bite on the brake pull.

Re: 3D Printed Saddles got this Ryet Aircode 3D for 1wk, it's too soon to say anything but initial impressions are good. The brand got me wishing to risk it, because other 3d saddles offering in Aliexpress don't look that trustworthy, this at least got 1yr warranty (at least it says it does...)

I was using a Mixed 5D for bit over 1yr and was really good for a long time, until it wasn't anymore (last 2 months or so), think the padding lost resistance overtime

Re: TanTan Seraph TT-X34, FM639 or FM619 Just bought the tt-x34 from OG Evkin without handlebar. The price was 447 euro including shipping, so can't really do better than that.  Other forum users have reported good build quality from this brand. We'll see what happens when it hits customs in mid-May.
