Trident Thrust...

Hi, just wondering if anyone has bought this frameset yet.  I recieved my frame in 27.5, but haven't built it up yet.  I'm now going to order a 29er also.  I believe this has got to be the best deal going right now for the price and free shipping.  The frames I received seem to be off good quality.  Does anybody know the ride quality?  I currently ride a Trek Superfly, but since I can't just have one bike and want to move up to a 29er also I would love to know others experience with it.  This is my first 29er after moving racing all throughout the 90's and early 2000's on 26" mtb.  I just recently got back into the sport on the 27.5 since I liked the transition better the a 29er.  Any comments on this frameset appreciated.  https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/THRUST-mtb-Bicycle-29er-China-mtb_60643554726.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.1.586e241dwVHrjd

It looks like the Tideace M009 design, which is a nice frame.
But I never heard about the seller Thrust.

I've seen a few mention that the Tideace and Thrust are the same.  They do look identical and the geometry are pretty much the same.  The only difference is that Thrust you can get BB30 or BSA, and Trident only in PF30.  I may purchase a PF30 as I already have a BSA Thrust frame.  It is pretty cheap, I may build up another in the PF30.
