RahmenTanTan TT-X68
Erstellt: 10. Oktober 2025The reviewer provides an unboxing and first look at the TanTan X68 frame set, which is a clone/homage of the Specialized Tarmac SL8. They discuss the price point of approximately $800-850 USD including custom paint and shipping, the weight of 895g for a painted size 56 frame, and the overall design which closely mimics the Tarmac SL8. The reviewer examines the frame's construction quality, hardware, and compatibility features, noting both positive aspects like good bottom bracket threading and concerning aspects like past reports of fork failures. They plan to build it with premium components to test its performance against the genuine Tarmac SL8.
