Rotor Stern - 'one assumes to evaluate the bicycle frame market, but it was never pursued' seems to imply partial knowledge on the part of the seller.

Out of mere interest I thought someone here might be able to fill in the gaps. How wrong of me to think I wouldn't just get a reply from some clown trying to correct people on the internet.

racefaceec90 - Yes, it does look a lot like a Kestrel MXC, but is slightly different. The Kestrel looks less sculpted on the head tube and seat tube to me.

Isnt that really heavy for a carbon frame?

If you get off your high horse long enough to do the research yourself you'll find that Foccia Engineering have a picture of that bike on their own website.

Signed some clown trying to correct people on the internet.

... and here it is:

with more info here:

This is called being: h.e.l.p.f.u.l ๐Ÿ™‚
Rather than: g.r.u.m.p.y. ๐Ÿ˜

Incidentally, that eBay advert looks fairly dodgy. Zero feedback! And lots of inconsistencies in the advert, such as

[i]"I've never been very into cycling"[/i]

Followed by..

[i]"I recently decided to swap parts over from my old bike to be able to use it"[/i]

Something doesn't really add up there..

I saw that but forgot about it and therefore forgot to bid. I would have quite liked that
