Oooh... Interesting. I have never, not even once, had a firmware update show. I'm super curious.

Tried both their website and Google but nothing. Think I'll just pass for now.

Got notified of a new firmware update when I connected to my RD today. Anyone know what it does? Very happy about how the groupset is working these days.

That's unfortunate! That frame is toast. You could probably get it repaired but not worth the hassle. I would ask them to send out a new one.

They gave me the run around. Claiming it happened during shipping which is obvious bs. Ended up having it repaired. Cost me about $200, was given a good price by a guy that was interested in the frame and my build, having only worked on high end stuff. Seraph (TanTan, whatever) offered me $60 as their part. I've ordered lots of stuff from China but this was a let down customer service wise.. I get that their margins are very small but still, I payed for a non damaged frame (and shipping twice) so you assume they'd deliver. You live and learn I guess.

In the final stages of building it up now. Will post photos and a review (of the process) next week.

So the saga continues. My frame was initially shipped in April, arrived in my country in May but due to a fuck up by the norwegian postal service it was shipped to the other side of the country, and when they finally realised what they had done they managed to return it to Seraph instead of sending it to me. Super annoying and it resulted in me having to pay twice for shipping as they (postal service) said only the sender could request a refund. Shit, ok I'll pay again as Jessi said this would be a big hassle and I just wanted the frame asap.

Cue to today, I finally got the notification that the package had arrived and was ready for pick up. Drive straight to the post office and my heart sank when I saw the package. A huge hit on a corner. I hoped for the best but when I inspected the frame there is severe damage in the head set, and the frame is likely just garbage now. Sent Jessi an e-mail right away and am hoping for a quick reply as it's been four months since ordering and I really don't want to wait until the season is over before getting a new one.

What do you think? Bearings won't even go in and regardless I wouldn't dare to ride it with this crack. I feel it inside the head set too, so it's probably worse than it looks too..

Tideace sends 52x40x7 for top and bottom. But I would not recommend these ones as bearings and screws likely start to rust.

Any recommendations for better headset?

Anyone know how long it normally takes when going with custom paint? Put in my order around two weeks ago. Hoping I get the frame before going on a bike trip in Italy in three weeks.

Also, anyone have any experience with the HB012 bars? http://tantancycling.com/index.php?_m=mod_product&_a=view&p_id=1070 They look a lot like the 3t Superghiaia's, which I would love but are way to expensive. The HB012 come in at 1/6th of the price.

I just ordered and was told 169 was the correct lenght. Jessi sent a photo of it too, with 169 printed on the axle.

That combination works perfect. I am running X01 T-type derailleur, GX T-type casette, GX T-type chain, SRAM DUB BB, Sram Wide Road Rival Crankset.
I had the same concerns with chainline, but some of it is fixes itself as a road/gravel rear axle is 142mm while a MTB is 148mm.
So the chainline difference is "just" around 4,5mm in reality and the shifting is absolutely flawless. Can backpedal in all gears.

Have attached a few pictures from different stages of the build process.
Have had it on the road a few times but still haven't decided on stem height

How is that stem for you? Considering going for the same.

Just about made up my mind for this frame, down to the custom paint job. Before I pull the trigger I have a few questions.

I'm a tall dude, and still a little heavy, 193 with long legs and about 100 kgs now (though aiming for 95ish before the season starts up here), and size 47 shoes. Kind of worried about toe overlap so am considering 165 or 170 mm cranks (always rode 175). This should also help with my angles, not having my knees bump my stomach while riding in the drops. Are there any negative consequenses I should keep in mind? The frame should have no prolem with 125 kgs I assume? (Bikepacking during summer).

Can anyone recommend a good BB from Ali (around $50 tops)?

I have that one in 11-46 11 speed actually. Ordered during a sale this fall but never got to install it before winter (Scandinavia).

Recived now. Works flawless straight out of the box. We'll see when I install it. Still deciding on frame. Same breaks as Garza, same mounting as the GR9 ones. As long as they fit confidently on the fork on the new bike, no problem. Think I'll try findiing replacement charge and connection cables, would suck to f one up and wait for weeks for a replacement.

Any suggestions for replacement pulley wheels? 11 speed gravel cassettes?

Can recommend the Speeder Cycling gravel bar with FSA ACR. You just need the change the top bearing because of the different angle (36 degrees). C ring sits nice and flush with the top cap. The gap is about 0,5 mm and retaining collars from bar to the c ring so nothing can move.

Thanks. Looking for seperate stem and bars but integrated cabling. Will probably go with the Superbox and my current bars.

No, 1,5" to 1 1/8". See the Deda Specs here: https://dedaelementi.com/media/wysiwyg/dcr-tech/DCR_D-SHAPE_Fork_Technology_v1.pdf

Sorry, 1/8th is what I meant. Ok, thanks!

I would suggest a DCR Superbox as you plan to use a Deda Bar. You just need the c ring: https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/de/deda-kompressionsring-fur-dcr-system/138244301/p?srsltid=AfmBOopIZXGT-u7D2k-0OMeY5cQ_thyeEufLTwOtE90FNPyjLvG7m4O_

Thanks! Ok, so that means the steerer tube is 1 1/4"?

If they're anything like my GR9 then they're neither but Ltwoo's own standard, to avoid paying Shimano. 73 mm (I think). They came with mounting hardware but not one that would work on my current fork, and several others have also had the same issue. We'll see. I would not be that annoyed having to get some Ultegra calipers used or something like that.
