Just finished my first ever build! I had some issues with a few little things but overall I am really happy with it. The rear brake needs to be adjusted and my handlebars aren't wrapped yet
Edit: I have attached a table with prices and weight if anyone is interested

My Frame came in on Saturday. I am currently building it up but I'm wondering how to lay the shift cables (mechanical grx) around the bottom bracket.
I layed them under the BB but I'm not sure if this is right? Under some tension it might be too tight an kind of saws through the crank??

My frame is now painted and ready for shipping. I think it looks quite nice

Does the frame come with round or aero spacers? I much prefer the looks of the aero/square spacers. But if theyre not included, have to order them separate. Most I see with the square/integraded spacers but some also have round.

You can order both. Just tell them what you want.

Maybe the TanTan GR201 / Tideace FM-GV201 is something to mention.
"For the single Chainring MAX size is 55T." It also has UDH Hanger and 50mm clearance.
There is already a thread for this frame on this forum.

Edit: Maybe the Max size for the chainring is not correct. The user glosscherrybomb just mentioned that he had to use a spacer to fit his 46 chainring

Maybe someone else can say something about the quality?

How is the headset bearing quality? Because getting them out is a terrible task with integrated cockpits. Might be worth to swap straight away for some good quality SKF bearing. Can anyone confirm the size for the bearings?

I dont know about the quality. For the size of the bearings look at page 6 of this Thread.

Hi guys

Have decided to bite the bullet and get this frame. Thank you for all the contributions to this thread, they've been very helpful.

I have two outstanding questions:

- I see that it mentioned that Tantan offers the same frame. Is there a reason other than price to prefer them?

- regardless of whether one purchases from Tantan or Tideace, what's the best channel to buy one from the UK? Should I email someone, or buy from a website specifically?

Hi,
in my opinion you could easily go with both.
I have only heard good things about TanTan and also their service and reply time is excellent.
I think Tideace is also a good choice but I have no experience with them.

You can contact TanTan via AliExpress etc. but the best way is via e-mail.

Is there any difference between the frames?

No I don´t think so. But TanTan does not offer a frame bag.

I don't know how TanTan can offer that frame at such cheap prices. Maybe I don't wanna know LoL.
My TanTan X38 (Scott Foil clone) cost me about $600 and the design had be released for a while.

Apparently I'm part of TanTan's email newsletters for newly released products. When they emailed about the release of their new GR201 I asked the price. They replied with "Whats your MOQ? This for OEM buyers only."

Okay, i just ordered one frame from them and this was also my first order from TanTan, so i think you can also order one for yourself.

I've been eyeing this frame for months now. Hoping TanTan will sell me their OEM version for a bit cheaper and so I can paint it myself.

My prices at TanTan were 470$ for frame and fork, 20$ for ThruAxles and 150$ for shipping. (110$ for a two color paint job)
Just for your information. Should arrive in 2-3 weeks

I ordered this frame aswell.
But I dont want to use the standard handlebar.
Where can i find a stem that fits the unusual 1 1/2" headset?
Or can I use a 1 1/8" stem??

I was very impressed with the quality of the bag. Its very big. You could fit 2 bags in the frame. 1 downwards 1 upwards. 

I'm 182 and went 56  with 90mm stem. Happy so far. 500 kms on it now

Thanks for your reply. I didn´t mean the bag itself, but the cover. Is this kind of loose? Or could this lead to problems in the future?

Hi,
I am about to order this frame as well. Did you already have problems with the tool bag cover? How secure is it? Do you think this could lead to problems in the future?
Maybe there is a possibility to order a spare cover.
Thank you!
Edit: what size would you recommend for 187cm and 88cm inseam length? 56 or 58?

Is the 505SL still available? I can not find it on their page?
How much did you pay for it?

The only downside for me is it's aero seatpost. Wonder if my concern with its proprietary aero seatpost is overblown?

Thanks for your Input!
I would also go for a standard seatpost.
Normally nothing will ever happen, but if it does happen you have quite a big Problem.
