Any idea what is it then?

I'm not sure but I think the manufacturers name begins with V and sounds Italian. The frames were then adorned with names of various producers.

It's a Verlicchi Bromont, Sintesi, Kona, and Iron Horse had them as part of their range in the early/mid 90's

That was the word I was looking for, Verlicchi.

Were they much good?

By the standards back then, yes. There's still a fair few that pop up now and again on eBay so they must last well.

Still a bit naughty of the seller - should be listed as a kona replica.
