Another Seaboard GR02

Nice build! Have you weighed it yet? I'm surprised these Seaboard builds aren't more popular amongst the AliEx crowd.

Maybe because for a little more you have a carbon frame? I went to their website and it would be about 525 eur for the frameset.

Yeah same here. I'd like to try one, but because of EU import taxes for goods over €150, the price is a mystery (I've seen anything from zero to over 35%) and could go as high as €500. In that case, I'd rather pay a bit more for a carbon frame (for which I can get prepaid tax shipping, so no surprises).

Nice Build!! I almost pulled the trigger on this frameset, but wanted a little more tire clearance. I was also looking at those ryet wheels. What are the hubs like? Are they their own design or just rebadged chinese hubs?

True! Though they do sell Advanced Mountain AM framesets both in alloy and steel on AliEx. Geometry-wise they look almost exact to the Tsunami/Seaboard frames, but they sell for much cheaper. In the US there's a company called Poseidon Bikes that periodically sells their alloy gravel framesets for $299 USD and they include a lifetime warranty for the original owner as long as it's not crash damaged.
