Quick question: on Tideace site is marked that seatpost is 27.2 x 300.

I will install Elita One but most of them are 27.2 x 350.

Is that a problem buying 350?

EDIT and Reply Myself after seeing anothe member had it installed on his frame. Yes, you can install 350

Question 2:
Could you please confirm the quantity, thread size and length of all mounting bolts supplied with the frame and fork?

I made a Mockup of the colours of my possible future bike. And I think I will go for something like this:

I have a raw carbon frame with a clear coat if that’s what you are asking?

Exactly. By the **Raw Carbon Frame** finish, that's what I mean. The frame has an exposed carbon finish covered with a transparent clear coat, so you can still see the carbon weave and patterns underneath.

Sometimes that clear coat has a slight tint, which means that instead of seeing the carbon weave in black, it appears in a different color. In this case, I believe they offer two shades of blue and one red option.

My **Orbea Rise** has the **Blue Raw Carbon View** finish, and the color is absolutely stunning.

I noticed Tideace offers "Transparent Colour". I guess it's some kind of "Raw Carbon View Colour"

As per Aliexpress site indicates: B002 / B003 / R004)

I guess it's available in 2 blue and 1 red

Anyone with a frame like that?

I’m 183cm/83cm riding the 540 FM296. Fits perfectly. 170mm cranks. 100mm stem

Thank you for your feeback. My dout is 54 o 52. I guess I'll pick the longer frame and add a shorter stem if needed.

Is there a contact for the sales person for Tideace?

Hi! I have a doubt regarding sizing.

My measurements are:
- Height: 177-178 cm (5'10")
- Inseam: 81-82 cm (31.9"-32.3")

I am currently considering both:
- Mondince FM326
- Noah platform frames (Mondince FM296 / Tideace GV201 / TanTan-Seraph GR201)

My goal is a comfortable endurance / all-road gravel bike rather than a race-oriented setup.

For those who own any of these frames, which size would you recommend for my measurements? I usually prefer a slightly more comfortable fit for long rides rather than an aggressive racing position. For reference, I currently ride an Orbea Rise size M and feel comfortable on it.

Any feedback from owners with similar measurements would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all!

I'm currently planning a custom gravel build and doing a lot of research before buying the frameset.

The bike will mainly be used for:

Commuting (20 km + 20 km, mostly gravel paths) Road riding with a second wheelset or fast tyres Long all-road rides Light bikepacking / Camino de Santiago type trips

I already bought a Shimano GRX Di2 825 2x12 groupset with 48/31 crankset because I want the bike to remain quite road-oriented while still being capable on gravel.

At the moment I'm comparing several Chinese frames such as the Mondince FM326, FM336, Carbonda CFR696 and this Tideace frame.

Maybe a silly question from a newbie:

I noticed this Tideace frame is referred to both as GV201 and GR201 depending on where I look.

On the Tideace website it is called GV201.

Is there actually any difference between GV201 and GR201, or are they exactly the same frame and just different naming conventions?

EDIT: I reply myself as found GV correspondes to Tideace and GR to TanTan/Seraph. Cheers!

Thanks!

Wanted a fast, lightweight daily driver with flat bar ergonomics and MTB shifting. Nothing like that exists off the shelf at a sane price, so I built it.
Why Flatbar on an XL frame?
Swap a drop bar for a flat bar and you lose ~80mm of effective reach — the hoods just aren't there anymore. To compensate, I went one (massive) size up to XL and paired it with a 130mm stem. The result matches my drop bar bike's reach almost exactly: same aggressive, stretched position, but with upright sightlines and the ability to run a full Shimano XT groupset off the MTB shelf for a fraction of GRX pricing.

The build:
Frame & Cockpit
Mondince FM316 XL (wanted purple, but got midnight-blue - ok, i´m fine with it haha)
Carbon rigid fork (just clearcoat)
Toseek Carbon Flatbar — 660mm
Kalloy Uno stem 130mm
Kactus Tech Ceramic T47 BB

Wheels & Tyres:
Elite Wheels Gravel Pro Carbon — 24mm inner width, swap to MicroSpline freehub
Tufo Thundero HD 44mm Tyres - love them!

Drivetrain:
SRAM Rival E1 Wide crankset — 165mm (cheaper than GRX)
Alugear Oval 42T chainring — 2mm offset (chains the chainline to 49.5mm for the 142mm rear axle)
Shimano Deore XT 12-speed — shifter, derailleur, 10-51T cassette (crazy cheap! 180€ total + 3 XT chains waxed)

Brakes:
Shimano XT M8100 levers + Flatmount calipers (for 120€ total)
180mm front / 160mm rear

Total weight: ~9.1kg with pedals, mounts, everything / Price: ~1800€ in germany
Happy to go deep on the chainline math or the geometry sizing logic if anyone's interested. Attatched a pic in comparsion with Tideace GV201 size 54.

What frame is the green bike behind?

Hi everyone!

Mikimono here from Spain. I'm getting into gravel cycling and, after checking many different models, none of them fully matched my requirements. Most of them would need further modifications, or simply became too expensive.

So I finally decided to start a project and build my own custom gravel bike from scratch using an open mould frame. Let's see where this adventure ends... 😄

Thanks to the forum for all the valuable information. I hope to learn a lot from you guys and, hopefully, also contribute a little along the way.

Cheers!
