About 8.5 kg. My scale isn't very accurate.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: TT-R18 new frame 2024 from Tantan

Hey guys,
Airy for the long wait.
Shipping went absolutely smoothly without any issues. The packaging was excellent - you can tell they put effort into ensuring safe transport. Particularly noteworthy: The wheelset arrived in a separate, well-protected package. Everything arrived undamaged.
The frame/bike makes a very high-quality impression right out of the box. The workmanship looks clean and the components used appear solid. The hoods are probably the updates ones from wheeltop. Shifting is smooth as well.
Wheelset
The wheels deserve special mention:
∙ The stated weight is accurate - no unpleasant surprises
∙ Rim model designation: D58TU28UD20XSL (same identifier logic as some XMCS rims - see pictures) Hub: Probably AinekaSports CS04
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to take it for a test ride yet - current weather conditions and lack of time haven’t allowed it. I’m planning to test the wheelset on my Scott Foil. Not sure if I keep the bike. On the pictures I mounted some other wheels.
For the price (1200/1300€ all in) it's a good choice in my opinion.

The bike is shipped and will arrive sometime in December (hopefully). I‘ll give you an update after it arrives.

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if it's okay to post it here. But I ordered the Twitter/Cyctrac R18 as full build - https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Factory-Price-New-Models-25-Year_1601596145409.html?spm=a2756.order-detail-ta-ta-b.0.0.6fe9f19c71nHEo.
At first I didn't recognize that it's the same mold as the TT-R18... but i pulled the trigger on it - 1280$ DPD shipping included to Germany for a full bike with Carbon Spoke Wheelset + Wheeltop GEX 13 one by.
Weight does not matter so much for me. It's probably easier to loose some weight on myself....
Main reason for the bike was the wheel set. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/New-Carbon-Wheelset-58mm-1230g-Light_1601518421727.html?spm=a2700.shop_plgr.41413.3.45067121MzskYf
I attached some pictures from the assembly which they provided to me and the detailed specs. Shimano options were in my opinion too expensive, +200$ regular 105 and DI2 +700$.
