Hmmmm, i guess you will only find out once you have ordered one.

It could be a strong well built frame, but on the other hand it could crack/snap on your first ride

The seller has a decent feedback percentage so could be worth the risk, but good luck sending it back to Hong Kong if you have a warranty issue

Yep my thoughts exactly. its really to replace the frame on my hardtail which i built in jan to commute and will ride in the depths of the winter mud to save my best/summer bike. i need to make it lighter, may even race on it. i'm also thinking as most frames and parts are made in that neck of the world it could be out of one of the big brands manufacturers but in the raw, so to speak. Than again it could be a pile of s%&t!
Thanks for your comments.

cheers.

Fair bit of info on peoples experiences with these

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ebay+c ... =firefox-a

I looked into them a while back and generally people had good experiences with them - just make sure the geos right for you as with most of the big makes you can count on the numbers making sense these days - with these u will have to check for yourself.
