got the following information for Mondince "FM296" and "FM306" --> It is T800 fiber

I´ve ordered these two frames last week --> USD485 per frameset, USD180 for shipping cost, USD48 Paypal charges, USD55 for painting, USD1308 in total;

I´ll keep you updated regarding shipping time (to Germany)

is this the price excluding handlebars I assume? Do they send both in one box for 180, that seems like a great deal! Why did you also go for the FM306?

thanks a lot :)

Read a few posts in the whole thread. Those running Ltwoo erx or er9

I wanted to go with the er9 groupset. So it's mainly the front brake calliper that won't mount? And then there is a work around to fish out the battery from the seat tube.

Looks like the rest mounts up ok. Front and rear derailleur, shifters.

Its probably then better for me to buy it all separately rather than a full kit and go with some different callipers. And if this is the case, it's getting a little closer to a shimano 105 di2 cost, seems a better option.

Many thanks for your help.

If you get the 105di2 on alie with the 90usd coupon, it is basically the same price once you add chain crankset and casette

Hi there everyone  :)

I have been reading a lot of threads since I am looking for a new frame. Mainly I was close to pulling the trigger on Tan Tans x-68 but now there have been several quality issues with the frame and fork recently. By reading all the threads I have gotten a little lost about what frame from which manufacturer can be considered high quality. It seems that with every lightweight aero frame on the forum there have been several serious issues, is that just what to expect with Chinese frames? I don’t mind the price if it is +200 than others as long as I feel it safe.

Maybe you’ve got some good experience or a better overview over the forum and know what manufacturers to look into.

Cheers and thanks a lot

I have both the 50-31 and the 60-31 wheels.

With 28mm tyres (as shown in the photos below), they measure around 30.7mm once mounted.

I also have another wheelset with a 25mm internal width. With the same 28mm tyres on that setup, they measure 31.7mm – leaving about 5–6mm clearance on both the front and rear.

So, based on that, I’d expect a 26mm tyre to come out to around 32.7mm.

I’d be comfortable running 26mm ID wheels on the X68s, but I’m unsure about fitting 30mm tyres – 28mm would definitely fit, but in my opinion, that’s a bit narrow for a 26mm internal width rim.



Unless anyone else here is running that combo?

Really nice, how do you reckon compare the 50mm and 60mm? I am still unsure which of them to buy, I wished there would be be a 55mm haha

Alright, thanks a lot :), I think it looks super great just not an everyday look for me, I like it a little more “tidy” but thats probably quite personal preference ;). Did people here get the CS-RDW-50-33 wheelset (26internal 33/34ext.) of peter or the one CS-RDW-50-31 with 24internal and 31ext. for the x68? Probably the first is too wide, or has someone been able to fit the with 32 mm tires?

Ok the bloody thing has finally arrived!
A few photos sorry there not more organised but did not have much time this evening.
Comments it looks exactly the  same.
Head tube is not taller before anyone asks its the way I’m holding the phone. 
Roval bar I need to look at it’s not 100% no groove for head cap to sit onto for a nice flat transition and no textured surface on top.
The tops look wider where the stem meets but have to get the calipers on it.
Waiting for some new scales
But frame was 798g no hardware
Forks uncut 399g
But will check with better quality scales when they arrive
First impression well I could have saved £5000k!!

Hi, I'm about to pull the trigger on a x68, but still unsure about taking ud glossy. Does anyone have experience with it, how raw is the look? Coz I dont really like the look of raw carbon, so maybe asking for ud matte with a glossy coat might be an option? The pictures on the thread have been really helpful! Are those edges something u actually see in the ud glossy frame, or is it just here on the picture due to lighting?
