This frame looks to hit the sweet spot for features and price. It has a round seat post mount, UDH, threaded BSA and internal cables for that clean look. Also has a round seat tube if you want to run 2x with an FD clamp.

Have to replace my canyon endurace frame since i cant find a replacement fork. been looking at this frameset you sent. price is amazing but i'm missing the mounting points on the fork, which almost all of the other gravel frames on AE have these days

If I needed another gravel beater frame, I'd definitely pick-up this frameset. You can try asking the seller if they have forks with cage mounts. Also they do sell aftermarket forks if you shop around.

Here's one with internal routing. Semi-internal gravel forks are usually cheaper:

Really just looking for a city commuter, the odd bikebacking trip and the odd winter ride where i dont want to take my tt or road bike. Thanks for the idea to ask for cage mounts on the fork

It's around 250$ for me on this store:

Seriously considering this for a commuter as well.

The cheap store comes to 280€ with the tax free shipping (and coupon included).

The expensive store 240€ but with free shipping.

VAT rate 25%, don’t know if the ”you won’t pay tax” is guaranteed, and I don’t know how likely it is that I need to pay the taxes.
But all in all the price difference for me isn’t massive.

I was just eyeing the GR02 from Tsunami/Seaboard but this frame is basically half the price.

But is it even a Twitter frame or just branded as one? Nothing on their website about it and very little online in general.

They're selling the G2 as a completed bike build. I presume it's fairly new, hence not much info about it.

I would message the seller, but I’m guessing anywhere between 1700-2000g for the alloy frame only.

[Jim.de]

thanks, I asked them.

Are there any buildthreads/ -pictures yet?

Weight: Frame approximately 1.53kg, Fork approximately 0.43kg

Even better! That's quite reasonable for a gravel alloy frameset. 

[Jim.de]

I doubt the weight a bit. Crux DSW Size 56 for the set is around 2kg.

Does anyone know if these ship with with headset and seat post clamp?

[Jim.de]

At least one buyer did mention, that he got it with headset and other spare parts.
