Re: Another Seaboard GR02
I finally completed my Seaboard GR02. I built it up as a cheap commuter using parts from eBay, AliExpress, my parts bin, and hand-me-downs from upgrading my road and gravel bikes. This was an incredibly easy frame to build up. No issues with alignment, and cable routing was simple, even without any guides.


It's 1x11 with a 40T ring and 11-34 cassette. That's not much of a gear range, but it's about the same as the gear range I use currently on my commute. (I already had the cassette.)


Without pedals, it came out to 21.6 lb / 9.79 kg. I spent a little over $600 building it up.


The Sensah brifters shift pretty well when pared with a Shimano 105 derailleur. I'm not enamored with the Sensah ergonomics because it I have to be more deliberate when shifting to a larger cog than I do with my Shimano drivetrains, but it works.


Brifters: Sensah SRX Pro
Derailleur: Shimano 105 R7000 GS
Cassette: Shimano 11-34
Cranks: Shimano GRX FC-RX600, 40T
Brakes: Tektro MD-C550
Wheels: DT Swiss E1850 Spline
Tires: WTB Byway, 700x44 (currently tubed)
Saddle: WTB SL8 Comp
Seatpost: Carbonda (from my CFR707)
Handlebar: Easton EA700AX, 42cm, 16 deg flare
Stem: UNO 110mm
Tape: Blackburn thick EVA covered with Rocktape kinesiology tape (Experiment - I had this lying around. I Like the feel better than the Blackburn tape, but I'm not sure how it will hold up. I commute without gloves.)

Re: Another Seaboard GR02  I've recently build up my seaboard gr02, in the special Blue/Purple glitter color way they have. Tbh the color is a bit too much for be, but oh well. This will be my main commuter, do any of you happen to have found fitting mudguards for the rainy days?

Build specs:

9.2 Kg
Cockpit: canyon h18 and stem (Had as spare, used an adaptor for 1 1/4 to 1 1/8)
Bartape: Og-evkin (Actually feels really good, paid 8 usd)
Wheels: Koozer cx1800 (Build seems pretty impressive for the price)
Tires: GP Urban 35C
Groupset: Sensah Team pro shifters, 105 r7000 rear derailleur, Shimano Cues u6000 42t Crankset
Brakes: Illpro flatmount semi-hydraulic, 160 illpro disc rear, sram centerline 180 in the front
Seatpost: Tooseek super light
Saddle: Ryet ultimate full carbon eva finish (Only 110 gram, and feels really comfy)
Others: 105 cassette, dura-ace 11 speed chain (Acutally bought a kmc chain from ali, but turned out to be a fake :/ )

Overall really happy with this frame

hello guys, do you have any tire removal tools to recommend for carbon rims?

I've always used Pedro's Tire levers.

Re: Koozer XM490 Pro hubs - Two years impressions Thanks for the long-term review! I have been happy with my Koozer 450 hubs on my MTB but don't have enough time on them for a full review. When I do I'll post my thoughts as well.

Seaboard GR04 - an updated GR02 with UDH and bigger tire clearance Has anyone seen or tried this frame? i have only found one seller on aliexpress and there is only one reddit thread about it where it is claimed to fit 50c tires.

Re: Chinese Titanium Frame - T47 Bottom bracket (thread) issue - advice needed They have agreed to a new frame, unfortunately I need to pay for the shipping, which is NOT cheap at all. I still feel this is not fair, seeing I paid to get a working good frame!
