I would consider this during the 11.11 sale if the description werent this confusing. For starters its stated 2.6kg for a magnesium frame and the fork is 1.45kg. Second, i couldn't replicate the geometry in geometry calcualtor with the given numbers. Third, for the frame its only 130€ and with choice shipping. Fourth, the store looks like a wholesaler.

What do you mean by legit? Its a bike frame.
The paint looks terrible. BB and brake mounts look like they're painted over.
It could work fine as a tight budget build, but keep your expectations as low as the price.

Buy it and try lighting it on fire. If it burst into flames, then it's definitely made out of magnesium! ;D
courdacier:
did you see the picture that shows it laying down on the side?!
it's got a massive seat tube cut-out w/some reinforcing baffles. wild design.
UPD I've looked at the photos in the description and it's sadly a hard pass for me - the bottom bracket cut-out will be impossible to keep clean, let alone be stiff enough. I've never seen a fully cast road bike frame, so kudos to them for trying!

This looks too good to be true. I'm on a tight budget so this frame would be perfect IF the sizing info is correct. It looks good but heavy af.
