    Got one. It's a Greatkeen FM028. GreatKeen are a Chinese OEM manufacturing for US/European names. I guess the FM028 is a frame they specially make for private sales. The matt black paint finish where you can see the weave through it, like a Felt, is extra. I bought the ISP version. Do not buy this version if you do not know what you are doing.

    You pay your money and you actually get a frame which is made of papier-mache and not carbon fibre. Not.

    I have a focus cayo but this would be a good project build. I have built a mountain bike up before but like the look of this. Was thinking of the isp version as this would be my bike!!! would you recommend?

    I'd avoid the ISP just as its harder to fit in a bike bag. Frame looks nice.

    Dont know much about the frame but the seller Carbonzone is regarded as one of the best sellers on ebay and rated very highly by a number of forum members.
