Ebay MTB frame Question

Anyone bought or know someone who has bought a frame like this from China? Are they knockoffs or the real deal?

Hi Giles,
These frames you speak of have been selling for a few years now, i have known 2 people who have bought them,( they both bought them as 2nd bikes in case of being ripped off, both bought xtc frames) both of these people had success with there buys, and one person a few years ago bought a reign frame and loved it, i dont know about warranty issues, but i think they are the real deal, you get the booklet, shock pump( with duallies) and it comes in a box, i think you will be o.k. though mate!

I've been looking at these too and wondering, if you get one tell me what you think.

Their own site certainly look legit, and they have a carbon frame that ain't that cheap.

I work with a couple of chinese engineers, one who's ex hubby was out here recently and brought a couple of cheap Giant MTB's for her and her son. She mentioned the bike was much cheaper in China. I'll see if I can find out where they came from and if they sell OS...?

Sounds like they might be okay Todd.
Just looking at the moment - just nice to have a cheapish HT to take away on holidays etc
I'll certainly let you know Mog if/when I get one.
