What was the shipping time for you?

Took around a week for me to ship to where I live.

A lot of mainstream brands don't even bother to clean up the alloy welds. Though I prefer a detachable FD hanger as opposed to a welded one. If that Twitter C6 FD hanger breaks, it'd be a pain to attach a new one.

Same. a riveted FD hanger would've been nice for longevity, but seeing its a budget frame can't really complain.

So quick update; Managed to get the bike together. It fits pretty well for me aside from the shockingly short 250mm seatpost. Thankfully after some sleepless nights scouring AliExpress and other local Online stores (namely Lazada and Shopee here in SEA), I've managed to find a longer seatpost. I've also found the seatpost on AliExpress, and I'll update the original post with some links.

Basically, just transferred the parts I had on my "Gravel" bike onto this one. I'm trying to save up for a hydraulic groupset so the Ltwoo R3 would do fine for now. Tires atm are Continental Ultra Sport III 28c. I'm planning on going for 32c in the future for a bit more comfort. I'm planning on getting a longer stem as well so i wouldn't be finishing the build anytime soon.

I'll wait for the new seatpost and stem to arrive before doing the final setup.

Those aero/D-shape seatposts sadly are all a pain in the ass to replace. Almost all of them are proprietary and you can only use the one that came with the frame or replacements directly from the frame's manufacturer.

I wish you luck though finding one. If this is a re-brand from another frame, you might be lucky but usually it's a dead end :/

Thankfully I managed to find one after scouring around AliExpress. I'll post the links on the original post when I can

Always have been interested in AL frames from china, what was the cost?

Around $200 w/ shipping. Alloy frame with carbon fork. Took around a week to get to me since I live in SEA.

your seatpost is short, as it looks like xs frame? 
try to ask for  L/xl frame.
is that post alu?

i cant recall, if twitter frame a rebrand of java, os sava bikes

yea according to their Geo charts, I'm a size extra small, my bike before this was a size small Sunpeed Kepler, and the XS C6 has a little longer reach compared to the kepler. 

I'll look around for a java/sava seatpost. It's kinda hard since no one really puts the dimensions of the post with D-shaped/Aero shaped seatpost. I'll just keep digging.

Managed To grab myself a frameset only of the new Twitter C6.

Frame looks solid so far; my only gripe is that it came with a 250mm seatpost and it's an aero shaped/D-shaped seatpost. I want to look for a longer seatpost preferably around 300mm to 350mm. I've asked the seller if its possible to get one but sadly they said that they only make that dimension for the seatpost.

I was just wondering if the shape and size of the seatpost a standard for another frame like a Giant is or a Specialized, etc.; the dimensions are 34.5mm x 24.9mm (I'll get the profile of the D Shape tomorrow after work)

I've also asked the seller if it's possible to buy a longer seatpost elsewhere, but so far, they haven't gotten back to me, so I'll wait for their reply.

It looks like a pretty solid frame so far. Can't really build it up yet but i will update the thread when I can
