looks fake, given it from taiwan i wouldnt touch it was a barge pole

supersonic

99.9% of the worlds frames come from Taiwan, China or the far east in general!!!

cavegiant

WTF is that about!?

ralph1471

looks dodgy as fook to me

MountainMonster

It's aerodynamic!OL

bentes

Looks like Batman's mtb!

Maybe a "batbike"?!

Tank-slapper

Bit heavy at 1610g.

I've been watching the chinese carbon frames on the bay and that one just doest not make sense.

Any frame without a seat tube is going to be either weaker for same weight or heavier for same strength and that is very heavy for a carbon frame, not to mention expensive.

It may look funky but what is the point??? :?

Search for carbon frame and you can get one for around £ 200 to wiegh in at around 1.2 kg .... unfortunately a lot are listed as 19 in or 20 in but have really sort top tubes (I am looking to top tube of around 600 mm).

and as ^^^^ says, most of the carbon frmaes are made in same place - I have not come any bad comments about these frames but then there have not been that many - the full suspension carbon frame has got good comments.

yeah I saw that the other day too. I kinda like it, kinda hate it. pretty sure there is no point to it. It was made so someone with more money than sense would buy it

supersonic

Just people showing off (badly) with carbon. Seen it with alloy too:

bearfraser

Fugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jairaj

is that alloy frame not a good one then? should I send it back?

They said it the latest zig zag technology! :P

supersonic

I want one!
