I just had a crash with the old X68 and the top tube was damaged.
So I'm looking for the new X68.
TT approved the seat post will stay the same.

What I'm wondering is the weight increase of the frame.
My old one in 54 was about 770g.
I found pictures on the TT side of 837g and 984g on the Seraph side (all without paintwork).

Makes me a bit nervous.
Does someone received his frame and can state the real weight?

Thank you

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.
