Thinking that it all sounds too good to be true and that buying one would end in tears .......

looks good, and its really cheap.
but if there was some type of problem with it you have no rights as its purchased outside the uk.
if you could afford to lose 235 quid, then go for it.

Pay using PayPal, and you'll get a bit of protection.
I know someone who raced on a road frame last year. He survived.
That is either a tiny frame, or that seatpost clamp is waaaay to big
It's like the snap on tool boxes on ebay for a bargin price, people buying them not checking the dimensions and getting toy ones !
That's so ugly it makes the On-one carbon frames almost attractive...
(Oh, and a mate has a TT frame from some Chinese ebay site - nice, for a tester machine).
I'm about to push the button on a FM015 frame and fork from DengFu FM015 direct from the factory which I organised via alibaba then email. They've been very good to deal with so far and the prices are lower than eBay if you go direct to the factory usually. Check out the HUGE threads on roadbikereview for lots of great information:

Looks like the On-One 456?
It's not a million miles away. There's a LOT of spookily similar carbon frames about right now!
not really
Surfr - please post up how the deal goes and what you end up paying with customs and so on, i've been contemplating ordering one too.
What length forks is it designed for?
Go for it! UK distributors buy from China or the importers of that product so why shouldn't you and save a packet instead of having to pay well over the odds!
My 456 Carbon is available on the classifieds-proven track record-UK company-known quantity-as new with extras and only a little more expensive with NO risk!
So your riding along at a steady 20-25 mph with heavy traffic all around, hit a drain cover and the frame snaps in two.............
Buy cheap buy twice...... once your out of A&E!!!!
I've bought a road and MTB frame from China over the last 2 years and have no complaints, they are usually delivered within 7 days as well, all components fit and the finsh is superb.
