Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[AFE]

I have just talked to Eddy about the handlebar issues. He was not fully aware of general problems yet, since he did not receive a lot of negative feedback from customers. I think it would be good, to report back to Tideace so that they can offer a better solution in the future.

What's a good option for an integrated handlebar for this frame? Lenox one?

[Uberflo]

For example although the Lexon top cap is about 1 mm larger than the headtube, so could be a nicer fit with the headtube. I can recommend the Speeder Cycling, its plug and play with no gap and nice fit to headtube:

I am happy with the Lexon.

Built one up

Hi again,
I completed the build, with the SRAM GX and Rival shifters, and set out to test it around Issyk-Kul Lake (about 450 km), driving around it in two days. The temperature range from -27°C to 0°C. Out of the total distance, about a third was proper asphalt, and the rest was a mess of varying bad conditions (gravel, ice, snow).

The frame performed excellently: solid and responsive. It absorbed vibrations well, even though I used 40mm tires. The only drawback was that the glove compartment lid rattled slightly, and the storage bag wore through to holes due to the lower bottle cage mounts inside the frame.
As for the drivetrain—an absolute delight. Fast, smooth, precise, and not a single glitch the entire ride.
Yes, the weight went up a bit—now 8.8 kg without pedals.

Hi @Lupus can you say which handlebar/stem/aero bar you are using? I’m looking to do a setup like this. Thanks!

Hi,
I've been riding for a long time with Ritchey WCS Carbon VentureMax 440mm, it's a great gravel handlebar. And the stem is a Thomson Elite X4 70mm: heavy, but durable and cute.
Aerobar is carbon noname from tao https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?_u=l20fqh5rlla088&id=534419206970&spm=a1z09.2.0.0.3c282e8dJHrV44

Was looking to place an order with Tantan for a size 54, but Jessi told me they're out of stock, and the wait will be two months, depending on how many orders they got. Quite funny how she asked if I could go for a size 52 or 56 instead. I could deposit 30% now and pay the rest when it ships.

Will try to contact Tideace and see if they have any stock.

Edit: miscommunication from Tantan, and the frame is in fact in stock in size 54.

When I ordered my frame from Carbonda a few years ago there were some things that would be nice to have, such as extra derailleur hangers etc. Is there anything you guys recommend adding to my order from Tantan? Will not be getting handlebars as I have bars from Kocevlo that I'll use for this build.

Since the frame does have UDH it is in fact a standard, you can find it everywhere. This is great for us consumers since you don't need a hanger specific for your frame. Then only think you need to look out for when you buy a new UDH is that it is correct thread pitch for your axle.
M12x1.5p is most common, but i have also had M12x1.0p on some frames.

I want to build a gravel bike for my wife using this frame, but I'm a bit worried about the sizing.
She is 158 cm, do you reckon 49cm frame is ok (even with 70 mm stem), or still too big and I should look for something different?

I am 99% sure that the bike is too large for her.
The bike is almost too large for me, even though I've built it as short as possible, and I am almost 10cm taller.
See more info in my build notes.

My YouTube video is live. Super happy with the riding dynamics. Proper gravel roads have yet to be seen.

That's a beautiful build! What's the total weight with the new groupset?

Seriously, you really need to do a California trip, that bike would tear it up in the desert!
