Hey guys,

Just saw on TanTan's Instagram that they've teased two new frames with 57mm tire clearance.


Frame 1 - https://www.instagram.com/tantanfactory_bike_frame/p/DYl3k9xDrl4/ - propably the same as FM346

Frame 2 - https://www.instagram.com/tantanfactory_bike_frame/p/DYlf9z_jUo-/

I've already messaged them asking for the geometry charts, but they are keeping it quiet for now and won't share any info yet.

Wow, wow, wow! That's really cool! We didn't have any chineese gravel frame for mtb tires just a month before. And now we can choose from 4-6 of them! That's really impressive!😱

This frame is already discussed in a thread about the new Mondince 57mm tire clearance frame. They are basically the same.

That's why I wrote that one of these frames is probably the same as Mondince. ;)

So now the question is: WHERE TO BUY I mean, is it better to order directly from MONDICE or go with TANTAN
I have & ride 23 bikes
Also I ride a lot, like a lot lot

I have not experience with TanTan, but just got a FM336 frame delivered from Mondice, and I can say that communication with Jack via WhatsApp was very good and after a first inspection the frame seems to be absolutely carfully made.

I am interested in Frame 2. Hard to tell what the Geometry will be look. definetly looks more racey and aero. I really want something like the Fara GR4. The new aero XMCS seems a lot like the Fara but is a bit expensive for me.

Same, hope it's something like LCR018-D with 57mm tire clearance  :D.

anyone found a similar "modular cockpit" to Fara's?

Mondince just announced the frame with the same geo as the second Tan Tan model https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,7318.0.html
