Hello everyone!

My TT-X21 bike is finally completed, It's missing the handlebar tape and some adjustments... But overall it's done, I road tested it yesterday (just a 1 km ride to check if nothing falls or breaks).

I will try to post a video soon about the process..

Thanks !

Who is your contact person and email at TanTan ?
I'm looking to build a couple of hardtails, and could start working with them.

Sorry for the late replay...

I talked with Rose Huang, email: sales@tantancycling.com
I ordered an extra derailleur hanger the was not shipped initially but she send it later very quickly.

She was very nice, have no complaints so far.

Thanks again. I didn't see it on their website. Good news, to motivate me to paint a next build.
I'll ask my sister who's art teacher some advice  ???

Buy/use some metal pipes and practice on that.
But not just paint, do the whole thing: primer, paint and clear coat...

To get the basics right, check out this video:

Very nice result. Congrats!
Did you consider ceramic coating ? It looks to resist better to scratches and hits.

One day I will paint my frame :)

Thank you  :)
I will have to check on that. For now I really want to finish the paint job and get to build the bike.


Highly recommend spray.bike. Had some great results with it, very easy to use.

My original idea was to use spray cans, but I ended up buying a spray gun. I have a friend that works at a professional paint store, he sourced (and advised) on the paints and clears...

Hello all, this thread turned up to be very diverse. A few of you already completed their builds and my I still a work in progress...

I'm in the process of finishing the paint job (it was harder then I anticipated, of course :P).

In the pictures the frame is still glossy (and not very good of that...). The finished thing will be matte and hopefully the clear cote quality will be higher  ;D

The cable guides came already installed. I think they have two handlebar models.

Thank you for your fyi FHS :D

I will post my progress. Unfortunately, here in Portugal the pandemic is out of control, I don't know if I can get the things I need to paint the bike.  :-\

So far, very happy with tantan service.

She said it would be shipped in 7 days. And from that, 35-40 days to delivery.
