Has anyone else been waiting for their GR-201 ordered from tantan for a long time now?
I ordered mine on november 19th. Still no shipping label or tracking information received.
I asked for an update from Jessi a few weeks ago, and she said I would receive the shipping label the week after. Sadly over a week has gone past that moment as well...

Just wondering if I'm the only one or they really can't keep up with demand.

I was ordering my GR201 frame from Tantan on 24.11.2025. I was in contact with Jessi as well. The frame was shipped on 12.12.2025, so the production needed roughly 3 weeks. Shipping with DPD to Europe needed around further 3 weeks and the frame arrived finally on 05.01.2026. So, the complete process was not longer than 6 weeks from paying.

For me everything went smoothly, I can't complain. Did you have any special request for the painting or anything else?

My GR201 frame has also arrived, so the build can finally begin!

I know this topic has been covered a million times, but I’d appreciate some help regarding the headset.

I’m planning to use the stock Tantan integrated handlebar along with the provided headset.

I’ve read that I should avoid the aluminum compression ring because it can cause the fork to wobble. However, I’d rather not spend €50 on an FSA or Deda headset since I’ve already paid for the Tantan one. Is it possible to just swap the compression ring for something else (like a plastic one) to keep the fork stable? If so, could you recommend one (perhaps something available on AliExpress)?

You’re all very helpful. I think the two photos (from Er7ik and vdt) perfectly illustrate the answer. Both the 52 and 54 frames can work for this height, but with size 52 the position becomes very aggressive. In vdt’s photo you can clearly see that even with quite a lot of spacers there’s still a big height difference between the saddle and the handlebars. In Er7ik’s photo this difference isn’t as noticeable. Both builds are great, but I think I’m already too old for such an aggressive setup that the 52 frame gives you.  ;D

What ultimately helped me make my decision was the fact that there’s only a 4 mm difference in reach between the 52 and 54 frames, which you can easily compensate with a slightly shorter stem. However, the stack difference is 20 mm, which is a huge jump, and 20 mm of spacers is very noticeable. This means that if you choose the larger frame, the bike won’t be significantly longer, but it will be much taller.

Anyway, I’ve ordered the 54 frame today, so now I’m waiting.  :)

Hi there, I'm 180cm, same inseam. Got a size 54 with a Lexon 420/80 mm handlebar. All spacers installed. Works good for me, handling is stable on fast descents.

Thank you for both replies. It's a very nice build, and the picture really helps with my decision. Based on the photo, the 80 mm stem doesn’t look “weird” at all. With that in mind, choosing the size 54 frame with an 80-90 mm stem might be the better option for me as well. I think I will move on with the ordering. (:

Thanks again for your help!

Please help me out with the sizing of this frame, it's difficult for me to decide which size would be right for me.

If I choose the size 54, then all the sizes are perfect, but the reach is too long. To compensate this, I would need an 80 mm stem which is very short.

If I choose the size 52, the reach is fine with my originally used 100 mm stem, but the stack would be very low and I would need at least 30–40 mm of spacers, which I think wouldn’t look good.

For reference, I'm 178 cm tall and my inseam is 82 cm.

Which one do you think would be more ideal?
