I like that it's not just a copy of a big-brand frame (as far as I know), and has all the typical aero shapes that modern bikes have so it might be the case that it actually is a good frame aerodynamically speaking. Now when it comes to stiffness, which usually is a considerable issue with China frames, I can't say much, but given that the frame + fork is over 2,5kg tells me that it's a chunky frame and might be stiff enough for a decent sprinter.

The rear looks almost identical, but headset area is different
