I’m excited to share that I’ve officially commissioned the TT-X68 as a "Full Build"! After thorough consideration and planning, I decided to go with Tantan.

As per the timeline provided, the full build will take approximately 25-30 working days to complete. Following that, there will be an additional 10-15 days for shipping, so I anticipate its arrival in mid-end January.

I’ll keep you all updated on the progress and, of course, will share pictures and initial impressions once it arrives. If interested.

FYI, the min seatpost insertion length is 100 mm with the 380 mm. For the original SL8, it is 75 mm.

Edit : Correction of min/max

You mean the minimum insert into Frame?

Can you share prices and specs?

i believe, like others, it s exactly the same frame already sold by airwolf
https://airwolfcarbonbike.com/product/2024-new-painting-light-weight-brand-sw-carbon-road-bicycle-frame-t1100-carbon-disc-brake-sl-bike-frame-bsa-bottom-bracket-with-handlebar/

exactly the same geometry (SL8 copy)-> difference of 3mm on the effective top tube for the 52 (531vs 528) , but is it true when you analyse the pictures?

same BB : BSA
same spacers
almost the same weight and we can say same weight if we take into account the error margin

not verifiable differences:
light differences about the paint or sticker
28c vs 32C
Di2 or Mechanical vs only electrical
headset diameter 49mm vs 52mm

and probably 30 min by car between the 2 headquarters
