Hello everyone!

I finally received my assembled bike from the mechanic today. Below I'll describe the entire story, from purchasing the frame to receiving the finished bike.

I started following this forum thread in March 2025. After reading your reviews (thank you so much for that), I decided to place an order and build my first carbon fiber bike.

I placed the order in August 2025. I communicated with Vivian via WhatsApp, where he also generated an invoice, and I paid via AliPay. A month later, the frame was delivered to my home. The frame wasn't damaged in transit, except for a small scratch on the fork. I wrote to Vivian about this, and he assured me it wasn't a problem and I shouldn't worry.

In February 2026, when I had all the components in hand, I sent the bike in for assembly. I asked the mechanic to tell me what he thought of the frame. He said the frame was generally well-made, but there was one annoying issue. The battery wouldn't fit into the seat tube, as if something inside the frame was preventing it from being pushed in. Because of this, the seat post couldn't be adjusted to its proper height. The mechanic decided to leave the battery without the special clamp; he simply left it inside the frame. I don't know how I'll be able to get the battery out later. Do you think this is a bad idea? Will this cause any problems in the future? I'm very worried about this issue, and it's somehow marred my impression of the new bike...

Now I can't wait for the season to try the frame out.

The final setup is as follows:

Frame: TT X-68. Size 56.
Wheels: Elitewheels Aero+ 53mm
Tires: Continental Grand Prix 5000 str (28mm)
Groupset: Ultegra Di2 R8100
Saddle: Ryet
Pedals: Zeeray

Weight: 7.5 kg

Hello everyone!

On the forum pages, I saw that some users have a problem with through axes (the washer remains inside the frame). I want to warn myself against this problem and buy other axes. Can you please advise me which axles are better to buy?Share the link to aliexpress.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the tips. I think I'll leave 160mm-140mm in this form.

I have another question. I want to assemble a bike right away with a pes P515 power meter - https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=jfTbV1S . I will only take connecting rods 172,5. Ultegra 52/36 front. Which carriage do I need to purchase in order for a power meter with connecting rods to fit my bike?

Hello!

I have a question about choosing the size of the brake rotors. Which size would you recommend 140mm or 160mm?

Do I understand correctly that if I choose 160 mm, then an adapter is needed for the rear rotor? Could you send me a link to aliexpress, where can I buy an adapter for a 160 mm rotor?

Will this adapter fit the frame? https://sl.aliexpress.ru/p?key=GgkIVMn

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I'll tell you about my story of ordering a TT-X 68 frame.

I wrote to Vivian on August 14, confirmed the order on the same day and paid via Ali Pay.

I ordered a frame in size 56, matte black with the Seraph logo.

Today Vivian wrote that my frame is ready for shipment. He sent a photo and the tracking number of the parcel.

I'll write later when the parcel arrives to me and I can examine the frame in detail.
