Hello, guys. Did you route FD cable above or below BB? I routed above and probably it was a bad idea. Shifting are not so good without a cable stop in the frame

I have Force Etap, so I can't give you an advice  :D

This is very different from my experience. I set the order up, i paid, said it was a 28 day lead time and it was shipped out in like 2.5-3 weeks, but its also that red and black fade color scheme, so it mightve been mass produced, but they seemed friendly and had no “excuses”

As for the NM torque of the seatpost, thats so freaking high are you sure about it being 10+ nm for rhe seatpost? I was thinking 5-6.

I placed the order at 14 may and recieved it 16 july.

Here’s the mail from Rose:
Hi,

seapost clamp max torque is 12nm
Please try 10nm first.

Best regards

Rose

Hey guys  :)

I was also thinking about buying the 218. But then I ordered the TT x34. So here are some intensions:

1. the buying process and contact to Rose was nice
2. then it took a long time till the frame was produced, painted and sent. excuses like: the painter is on vacation, the shipping agent forgot the package...
3. the painting and everything was fine. I finished the build and after 3 I had a strange feeling with the handlebar width. I measured my handlebar and it was 440/100, but I ordered 400/100. I had a long discussion, because Rose said that I have to pay for the handlebar, but it was the mistake of Tantan. After one week Rose said that's I will get a handlebar, but I have to sell the false handlebar and send her the money. Because 400/100 was not in stock I choose 400/110
4. I also had problems with slipping seat post. I asked Rose she said that the typical torque is 10 Nm and I can go up to 12 Nm.

But all in all im very happy with the bike 8) 8)

Hi there,
After i built a GR029 with my boyfriend a couple of years ago, I am looking at Road Bike Frames this time.

I am wondering if any of you has experiences to share about the TT-X34, FM639 or FM619.

What is important to me?
Disc Brake
Thru Axle
Clearance for decent size of tyres (minimum 28 mm / ideally 32 mm).

Officially the TT-X34 has 30mm, maybe a 32 fits? What I don't like too much is the fully integrated Handlebar (means that you can play only with the spacers) and the specific seatpost.

From a frame design point while I like both, I have a preference for the FM639/FM619 (same geometry only a bit different weight so I don't know what is the difference...).  Anyone has one of these frames?

I have the TT X34 and can Measure the tire clearence

Just saw on tantan website the x34, seems to have been published on 05/05/2022

The geometry is the same like Trek Madone. Looks a bit like it

Whats your current bike and size? Do you like the position or do you want to change something?

Right now I have a BMC Racemachine 2011 in 53. it feels like it’s a bit to big, but not much. So 515 and 530 should both fit..

Think you'll need to wait a month or two for many reports.

You’re maybe right ;)

I will order the frame this week. But I don’t know which size. I’m 173cm and 80 inseam. What size do you suggest? (515 or 530)
