I am looking for a budget steel gravel frame and came across the Tsunami brand of cro-mo frames. Clearance for up to 45mm tires. Anyone have any experience with these?

$250 on Ali Express. Kinda heavy, not elegant. It's never going to break but I don't think you'll ever really enjoy the ride.

If you don't mind cantilever brakes, I think you can find a much better used frame for a decent price.

They make a nice looking 26" touring frame too, but the information about it on their advertisements is inadequate and there's no discussion about the brand and frames on public forums.

Tsunami differs a little bit from the typical Ali express no-name Chinese frames in that they are an established brand, but their market territory covers like literally Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Their frames are sold in LBS’s, have a (somewhat barebones) web page (www.tsunamibicycle.com) and are active on social media sites. They’re far and away known for their fixed gear frames more than Cx or road, but they do make them. Generally they have a solid reputation particularly in the SE Asia fixed gear scene.
One of my bikes was built off their Victoria road frame and I’ve had no issue with it after about 2000km riding. Their CroMo tubing is manufactured by Seaboard, not exactly Reynolds or Columbus but it’s a legit operation.
