Tsunami Seaboard GR02 Budget Gravel Build

...I've been happy using the ultra lightweight cassettes from AliExpress...

Which ones did you try? From ZTTO?

Yes the ZTTO/Sunshine, etc. cassette with the alloy big cogs. They've worked fine for me for the past year. I've been tempted to try the SROAD lightweight steel cassettes, but for the price I could probably buy two ZTTO cassettes.

The Seaboard frame comes with a carbon fiber fork: https://tsunamibicycle.com/product/gr02-gravel-frameset-alu-alloy-disc-brake-thru-axle-black/

Some of the build pics and videos online show a smooth fork without attachment points. Most Ali listings however show forks with mounting points. I wonder if the one with mounting points the new stock fork or do you have to specify which one you want?

Good point, I didn't notice this before ordering, but I see it now. I ordered the pearl white model from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003753585988.html and my fork has two mounting holes on each side. Bolts were included for the mounting points on the frame, but not for the fork.

I'm sure if you ask, the seller will make sure that you get the right fork.
