Title: Anyone recognize this frame?

I know they sell the 036 branded with their name, but not sure what this one is.  Was hoping someone might know.  The owner of the bike is a friend of mine.

The frame looks like a IP-256, but seattube/toptube junction is different, maybe due to small sizing.

An IP-256 is a hard tail frame, that frame just looks like an IP-036 in a smaller size.  The smaller size doesn't have the gusset between the seat post and top tube.

Just to be clear, I meant whatever you mentioned here (http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,48.msg389.html#msg389). An honest mistake.

IP-036, see the difference on SMALL vs XL in this pictures.

Yup, I think you guys are right.  It is a small and that one pic of the 3K finish bike looks EXACTLY like it.  It will be interesting to see how it holds up. The owner is a team rider and she rides the piss out of that thing!  She has the bike up north now, but I'll tell her to keep an eye on those rear bolts that hold the chain stays to the dropouts.
