Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer discusses the Tantan X38 Aero frame set extensively throughout the video. They highlight its super aero profile, lightweight construction (approximately 1100 grams unpainted), and affordable price point of around $700 including shipping. The frame is described as unapologetically aero, resembling the Scott Foil RC Pro, and offers a comfortable ride despite its aggressive look. The reviewer mentions the frame's geometry is suitable for most people but notes it lacks refinement over rough roads compared to more expensive frames. They also discuss the frame's compatibility with various components, including a T47 bottom bracket and hidden cable routing.
