I didn't receive any grommets either,  I had spare grommets so I used those instead.

Hi all. I've ordered the frame in July and received in september. I started building it this weekend and noticed I am missing the di2 grommets. I contacted Rose from Serpah/tantan and she told me this parts are no longer included in the packages. However, checking Patrick's video, you can see that at least the rear grommet is among the parts sent to him. Has anyone else had this issue?

I received the rear grommet for Di2 with my frame recently. I wouldn’t worry if that was missing. Easy to get one online for a quid or two

Seraph 56 cm Frame Order Update
Rose stated the frame has been shipped yesterday as promised with tracking details.  Delivery ETA about 2-3 weeks to USA. (Ordered and shipped in 1 week)
Thanks

I recieved all grommets on both of my X68's. It's weird they don't give them anymore?
But in any case, as others replied, just buy them seperatelly at local bikeshop.

How happy are you all with the provided integrated handlebar by tantan? Is it any good or would you advise to buy another one?

Thx!

I have no issues. But I'm only 60kg. Suspect its like all the other Roval Rapide clones out there.

Now that we're pretty much at the end of the season in a lot of north america, how has this frameset held up so far? Any longer term reviews?

Full season on mine. No issues other than paint scuffing under the topcap. Its been my daily ride despite having a couple other bikes available. I have the "early" fork and no issues there either, despite some light gravel use.

Hi Sander,
One season in, how does it compare to the real one?
if you did a ride review / comparison, i missed it.

I'm thinking of using SRAM force 2x12 egal with x68. Can someone recommend a good compatible cassette?
