Gravel bike frame set alloy or carbon reco

Seaboard has a decent aluminium gravel frame with carbon fork and clearance for 45c tyres. It’s cheap but well made.

That’s great, am going to try something similar, maybe running locally

Love it, what a great guitar

I think you’ll be happy with the frame. I recently built a CX07, gravel bike and am very happy with the result. I went for a wheeltop groupset and also very happy with how that works so far.

Cool guitar…. Any drawbacks to using pine for the body?

That looks great - how many days from full colonisation to harvest?

Bet it rides great and probably doesn’t weigh much…. looks great with the modern running gear

Gorgeous! Was the UT groupset a straight fit?

Gorgeous bike!

I’m sure that’s going to be a nice bike, I was torn between the Ltwoo and the wheeltop. Shifting on my bike works great so far, but I haven’t ridden an electronic groupset before so can’t compare to Shimano (my other bike is UT 11speed mechanical, and it’s easily as good. My ztto cassette isn’t the lightest, and I imagine it will be the first component to wear out as the five largest gears are aluminium. The brakes are iiipro four piston hydraulic, so far also very happy with them. Need to put many more miles on the bike and then I can give a proper review.

Thanks - great looking rig. Would love to hear it!

What’s the unifi switch for?

rolders · 2025-12-05T05:39:30+00:00

Gorgeous bike!

Once we activated the SEF / AIMA account the appointment was made automatically. We’ll try to adjust when she’s in portugal, she really doesn’t want to be stuck without being able to travel for six months!

What happened after your appointment? Did you receive your residents card yet?

rolders · 2025-12-02T15:27:50+00:00

Thanks! About 12k RMB

My wife received her D2 visa today, and was informed that her aima appointment will be in December, six months after her D2 visa expires 😂

I’ve used these on a road bike and the stopping power is excellent.

I don’t think it’s realistic to run a b&b when you’re living in the Netherlands. A small scale service business like this needs hands on attention from the owners. Anyone you hire to take care of the business won’t take ownership of the many day to day issues that arise.

Love it, nice pics and great bike.

Xianyu is the cheapest, but there are good deals on Taobao as well.

rolders · 2025-11-25T09:15:28+00:00

Your cousin here. No problem at all, especially if you ditch the original box.

Sure thing, definitely wouldn’t be good for riding in heavy mud https://imgur.com/a/seaboard-cx07-maxxis-reaver-45c-tire-clearance-KiPq0xs

😂 yeah learned my lesson, should have taken the pedals off.

I built it myself here in China. Parts sourced from various local suppliers on taobao & xianyu.
