Any experience of these? A 725 frame for £370?

Re: Seaboard 725
First question is how many of the tubes are 725?
The older I get the more I’m inclined to act my shoe size, not my age.

Re: Seaboard 725
Assuming it is 725 throughout, a good tubeset only gets you some way towards a good frame. If the workmanship and lug quality is poor then a quality tubeset is wasted.

This is probably a better buy for similar money. Genesis is a known brand.

That does sound like a safer option.

Not one of our better exchanges, that one.
