TT-X42 Full Bike with Carbon and Wheeltop

Asked Tantan about whether there's a different seatpost with less offset, there's not.

Asked about what offset the seatpost has and just got sent a photo of the bike.

To add, I asked for a general torque spec for the carbon parts, and they said "just tighten it". I really do hope that it's a translation thing. Might ask them again with a translator.

Hi.
What size did you order? I'm in doubt, I'm 182cm tall and have an inseam of 86cm.

For what it's worth, I ordered the plain black finish, and ended up at 1.101eur with shipping to Denmark, using a 60eur off coupon, few days ago. That's also including the DPD shipping where 25% VAT is included.

I'm in the same boat as you in terms of value-for-money. For Europe, I don't see how that can be beat doing a self-source build when VAT is added on top. See raisinberry's example. The kocevlo bars is priced at 60USD, but the price i see, because of VAT ends up at 74USD. Applying that to the entire build, it ends up being 1460USD instead.

Nice list! Any chance you have this in a spreadsheet with links to product purchase pages?  :-)

I am 178cm and an inseam of 82cm. I got the 53cm.

In hindsight, i could have gotten a size smaller however the toe overlap would be an issue.

I bought one of these.

Maximum clearance is 30c, 32c is dependant on wheel and tyre combination.

I paid $1800 delivered to Australia.

If I had my time again I would have just built up a bike from scratch. If you start replacing parts it will end up costing a lot more.

The wheels are really heavy, 1900 grams. (I got the carbon wheels)

I have replaced the following: Crankset, axles, saddle, tyres. New wheels will be the next purchase which will take the bike to around 7kg.

Hi I'm in Australia also, and it seems like an awesome deal still. I would want to get the weight low, are you sure you were able to get it to 7kgs? That seems perfect. I have rim brake light bikes at 7.2, so if accurate that would be very cool. I would also want to change to 38cm bars.

You can but it doesn't make sense financially. Get a more modern frame and build it up. Otherwise you're replacing wheels, crank, handlebar and saddle.
