    The head tube looks quite different to me - more angular on the Dolan - but the forks do look very similar. I think it's a bit like washing machines and dishwashers: all made in only a handful of factories, then badged up for different 'manufacturers' with some minor tweaks.

    Suer it will be same/v. similar to a.n.other chinese frames but the Dolan has the cables going internal in the top and down tubes.

    Seat tube on the Dolan also appears to taper a bit. Lovely looking bike anyway.
