indeed just one of those me-too Bikes.

But have a look at the seat tube, it has same curved seat tube like specific Gary Fisher or Alpinestars Bikes to have a reduced to the max rear triangle lenght. Intresting that even those exotic concepts have been copied.
 
The downtube has an interesting profile too. It looks ovalised with a 90 degree switch in the ovalisation halfway down (to get bigger weld areas on both head tube and BB?)
Could it be a decent enough frame hidden underneath humdrum components?
