Does anyone try this frame yet?
I am concerned about the rear shock performance.

Frame finally showed up. Looks good to me!
Thank you for the nice comments
@pedaldancer, this was years of continuous blue research, the frame, the brakes, and finally the fork
I'm not really a frame decal guy, the sid logo in chrome could be an upgrade.
@Ludo, it is raw carbon, with a blue tinted clear coat, it looks like it has tiny metallic sequins too.
@arno, it is a size M and weigh 9.52kg
Here is my bling build !
Finally in the blue I wanted...
With the XX transmission + blip box + multi-click blips, this time without 3D printing needs.
Click right for a harder gear, click left for an easier gear, when both are clicked it's for the seatpost.
Unfortunately the wireless blips(no more expensive blip box needed) do not have yet the option/firmware? for the seatpost action.
The 2024 SID fork 110mm and SIDluxe shock, they have 3 positions now.
I was about to start the build, when the 2024 models arrived in the ... matching color, so I returned both to r2-bike, and ordered these instead.
Lightbicyle XC924 wheels, with aero carbon spokes at 1035g
I took off the Piccola brakes from my FM936(replacing them by ONIRII ones)
One special mention for Fire Spider https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1100268111 for the bar, excellent product and great contact with the seller.
Fire Spider are the higher end products of Toseek.
It has all the holes to pass the cables, hoses with internal routing(I know top bearings rust... but it's so cute )
I'll order a longer front hose to make it internal too, and drill the fork steerer.
I did 2 rides of about 70km so far.
With impossible objectivity ... It feels much faster and more nimble than my 120mm FM936
Especially when climbing. Love it !!
Look at how the stack/reach from the aliexpress geometry picture compares to your current bike(s).
You can check with https://geometrygeeks.bike/ too.
Usually gravel frames are more relaxed, but not always.
From memory, Tantan doesn't have a really good after sales service in case something happen.
May be this helpsAt that video, he removed the metal ring (in the open eyelet).
I found this, If I cut it to 30mm, is it ok to use?I will use with RockShox sidluxe.
