Hi there,
Surfing the web and looking for a new bike, I just found this one but cannot any info or user review. Does anybody know about the brand or the frame?

Haven't seen that frame before. I like that it's a 27.5+ compatible frame, but I'd have no need for a front derailleur mount or the ISIS mount on the BB. Also, BB92 wouldn't be my first choice. Other than those things, it looks pretty good for around $800 US.
This one is a copy of the latest Scott Spark, closest I can find to the one you posted:

The one I posted seems to have a very good trail geometry with less extreme real seat angle than P8/P9, and 4bar rear suspension is a plus too.
But I just lack any feedback about it. Price seems fair and inline with others.

That looks awesome! Think its 29er capable?

Has anybody else had issues running the rear hydraulic brake hose from the rear? I can get it past an obstruction in the down tube and have tried almost everything I can think of or google has. Any advice would be great, it is the last part to the build and it is making me angry.

Sometimes yes :-\.
But after trying harder, it finds its way in general.
The hose has generally a curve, so you can use it to try to run it on the top/right/bottom/left of the chainstay and avoid the obstacle.
Did you try to run a cable( brake or shifter ) with a magnet to see if it goes through?
Or you can try with another hose from the bottom bracket to the back, just to find/force a path.
Good luck !

The mechanic who assembled one of my Chiner bike run into a snagging problem routing the hydraulic hose from the rear, I suggested routing it from the front to rear and it got through much easier.
