Just wondering if anyone from BNA knew or personally got these cheap frames off ebay? I read the seller ratings angd it seems only a handful isolated ones had issues but thousands were happy. I see a lot of AUS buyers too. I'm thinking about getting one as it's cheap alum frame but not sure.

Hmmm.... if you look at neutral/negative feedback, seems they have some quality control issues.
And given the frame sizing, the shortness of the head tube in the larger sizes seems a bit unusual.

I ride, therefore I am. But don't ride into harm's way.
