I have just seen one of the Carbon Airlites in my LBS and to my eyes the frame looks identical to my PlanetX road bike. In every way, from the diameter of the tubes to the ridges in the down tube and seat stays, the rear drop outs and the cable guides. Has anyone else been able to look at both? What do you think?

    I've only seen them online, but I'm positive I've seen that frame elsewhere. I think it looks like the Torpado Celeste, amongst others.
    I would want one that looks like Nicole Cookes though. Or like this:

    German market oddity ;)

    There are lots of products you can find under different brands. For instance the Outland saddle that's the same shape as a Fizik Arione is also identical to the PlanetX Arione style saddle. Factories in the far east must have their own designs and manufacture them for different suppliers.
