Who ACTUALLY makes the frame? Because just because it looks like an Avanti doesn't mean it has the same engineering, testing and features. Frames like this are sometimes called "cookie cutters" and are just pumped out of Asia for a dime a dozen.

No one said it was an Avanti competitor sunshine, READ the post, Its identical to the competitor! And yes, it did come out of Asia, most dam bikes are.....!!!! As far as the engineering and testing etc etc blah blah blah, yeh, prob isn't as good, but then again, its not a DH bike either, this bike is more than adequate for XC and racing, if its not up your elitist standard because it hasn't got Avanti plastered down the side, then don't comment and add crap that's not necessary. Thank you and have a shit day!!!

You will find some companies (like Cervelo i think) who have their frames made in China will also sell "Blanks" for dirt cheap. (You can pick up a carbon road frame for $300-$400 if you know where to look) The only difference between the two is the stickers,
so it could well be an Avanti frame.

Anyway it looks great, and i'd buy it if i hadn't bought a different frame. :D
