Never heard of them
Look cheap and nasty to be honest but biggest question, why is the RRP of 19" and above £599 and a 17" only £199?
Certinally wouldn't pay £599 for one, £199 seems to be pushing it
The road bikes have huge supposed discounts, I suspect the RRP's are hugely inflated, is that legal?

Wasn't the SAB brand bought up by Planet X. These are probably remaining stock of the defunct SAB operation being sold off so the offer price bears no resemblance to SAB's original RRP. I'm inclined to think that the discrepancy you have noticed with the 17" frame is simply an error. Who cares about RRP's its the price you pay that counts, I have recently bought a wheelset RRP £699 from CRC for £208 and two £599 RRP cranksets for £139 each. Suits me.

Those frames you pointed to are old with v-brake posts but at £50 a punt will be attractive to some people. These are all clearance offers so RRP's mean nothing.

Just clicked the link. They're all at £50 now. Suspect it was just a template that's been edited.

I think it'll be another template error that's caused them to have the RRP's listed differently.

Might [i]possibly [/i]have been part of a full build that was RRP £600, I suppose. Though would need to be a few years ago even then.
