i am in contact with the manufacturer but they seem not to be willing to include some threads for bento and or rear boxes....this is really a shame, as we would like to use this as a base frame to work with for our rockairlabs btas, risers we sell for canyon tts...
so our intention is to have a fully equipped tt with all boxes and custom made cockpits...
but the salesperson told me, no cannot do it, not safe?
well, it is always the same with the chinese sellers, they are 95 % there, but keep ignoring suggestion for making the product 100 % perfect and increasing sales..

i will keep bugging them :-)

nice bike by the way...

im not really sure the history of this tt912/tt915 open mould frame and its manufacturer. tt912 has been out for so long since rim brake ver, and later got revised for disc brakes, udh hanger n 32mm clearance.
it seems to me like TanTan and mira-factory might be 2 different factory?

this yr tantan released tt913, while mira(with brand Falco) released 918.

There’s the link to Falco bikes. I’ve had good experiences in communication with them and their products seem good and good quality. Shame that I’d just bought the Velobuild VB-TT literally the day before they released their TT918 frame set otherwise I’d have got that

TT918 looks interesting - aside from the stupid seatstay holes.  It has modern TT bike geo.  If Mira will sell it for their normal pricing directly, it's fairly compelling.

But there is no mention of the TT918 on the mira-factory website so i'm not 100% certain they are supplier for Falco (I haven't bothered contacting Mira or Falco yet).

The Falco TT918 looks amazing, with the deep forks. But the price is pretty steep.

somehow mira no longer update their website n insta.
Falco however still update their insta. and you can see the sticky, theres a booth cert expo with miracle in the name: https://www.instagram.com/falcobikes_/
That TT918 indeed looks amazing (but too expensive. dont know why their price referencing tt912 doubles TanTan's price). the seat stay scoop actually removable, if you check out their insta.

Maybe you should pretend to be not in the know, and ask TanTan via their contact channel about tt918

i saw the vbr Tri frame thread. apparently that factory is more lenient in customizing their frame.
Honestly, even they dont provide extra in frame storage, they should consider making extra boss mounts.

TT-x38 has a potential to be a Tri frame too.. Just need toptube boss holes, and maybe underside downtube ala Orbea ordu, for ppl to mount Elite aerobottle down there, but as storage kit(+functional flares)

I have an X38 and have also considered the conversion. Kienle did this with his Foil for the Norseman. So it should be possible. (He did not win though).

yup.
His Foil got featured on GTN.

On the x38, i had ideas of using the Winowsports or TanTan basebar + riser + aero extensions, with kocelvo internal routing stem https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256805916498018.html 
but as other poster mentioned that TanTan not willing to provide extra boss holes, it means add on storage-boxes is limited
