I saw this at the weekend and it seems very cheap.

With a new groupset and some Kinetic-One wheels you could build a brand new full carbon bike for under £1k. Seems like a bargain, and also a nice little project for those dark winter nights.

It seems worryingly cheap (I know, I know....)

Are these really rubbish ?, or is is just that it has no branding ?

Does anyone know ?

    Been mentioned on here (and other places) numerous times, cheap unbranded chinese carbon frame, do a search.

    You could assume that the frame is the exact same as the branded ones, however, you can't be 100% sure that they use the same materials or layup as the branded ones.
