Having done a bit of research into which are the more reliable of the chinese carbon suppliers I'm thinking of this:
Many of the chinese offerings are straight lifts from the designs of western brands, sometimes even from the same moulds, and as the design is quite distinctive around the seat-stay, seat tube, top tube junction I wondered if any of the assembled wisdom could hazard a guess as to what this might be copy of?
And yes, I am fully aware of the pros & cons of buying direct from the P.R.C., and whilst I am interested to know if this a copy, I am not going to be buying on the strength of that knowledge, nor will I be getting it painted to resemble a branded frame.
