seaboard

[Stravakiddo]

has anyone ever used this brand? (seems like a premium brand of the weapon/tsunami itself).
I wonder if anyone already done assembling a frame.
I was looking at the CT1 (alu, thru axle, dics etc).

i want to know if the frame is valid or if i should go for something else and keep the money.
Also if it would be compatible for a pes515 power meter.
...plus the maximum tyre, they said 45c but i think probably the limit would be a bit highter

have a great day

I haven't run into any CT1 builds but I've seen a number of GR02 alloy gravel frames and they look like a good value. Trace Velo also loves his CR05 steel road frame. All the Seaboard frames I've run into use BSA bottom brackets which should work fine with the PES515. Magene claims the 515 was upgraded to clear T47 bottom brackets as well but I haven't seen anyone try that setup yet.

It’s a flat bar frame, in case you missed it. So I guess take a close look at the geometry if you plan on running drop bars. Brake mounts could be another thing to consider.

It does look pretty neat though. I kind of want to get it to replace my get groceries/haul kids-bike.

They're good frames. I have a few thousand km on my GR02, including 2x BWR events that were very rough.

Yes the long top tube is really letting me overthinking.
But seems the only frame with 142mm hubs. Thru axle 'n stuff.

I'll let my brain overthinkink a bit more lol
Ps. Probably if o go for it the 44cm frame would be the nearest measure of my currently 51 BMC ☠️

I'm another happy GR02 owner. The welds and paint look really good and I had no issues building the frame up. Mine is mostly a commuter but I haven't had any problems with it.

Care to share pictures of the bike?

Here's a picture of my gr02, I had lying around. I use it as my commuter.
LMK if you want side photos. Frame is pretty good, fork seems a bit cheaply made.

Can you fit 45 or 50mm tyre?

I firts built it up as a 1x11 with Sensah brifters, GRX crank (40T), and an 11-34 cassette I had. I wanted a larger gear range so I upgraded it to Microshift Sword 2x10. The brakes are the Tektro versions of the TRP Spyres. They're OK but I need to get some better housing. Most of the other parts are from my spares or were purchased cheap.


It's primarily my commuter but it's too much fun to just be transportation.

No. They claim 42 mm is the maximum. I have WTB Byways that measure just shy of 44 mm and that is very tight. I wouldn't ride tires that wide if mud is a possibility.

Lovely bike, I like a lot the combo orange-blue. Once I did the same with a vintage bike.

Btw I did not make the order yet since there are a few options. For example the cx07 or the twitter G2.
One is supercool since steel don't need reason but the other one seems cheeper. Also both seems to have 45c as limit
