I’ve seen this up for sale and I’ve sent the seller a message, does anyone know about them? @joglo I’ve seen your post perhaps you could shed a little more light on this particular brand?

The seatpost clamp and cable routing caught my eyes.
 
Cool thing is it has replaceable dropouts so I could perhaps get someone matching some horizontal ones so I could do single speed
 
I've heard of the brand, I do not know this model and I don't know whether it is any good, but what is obvious is they put some effort in it to make something special. With this routing it deserves gears imo.

I think it was a rebrand from a different company. It seems there are others like this but this seems to be the most common.
 
Hi, yes the Bogner carbon bike was a frame from someone else.
Created by Graphite Technology in US and sold in particular in Europa with many different stickers on. I think there was a specific French guy, Didier Louis, involved acting as re-distributor.

Please have a look here, especially in recent months we have found more and more similar bikes from different brands.

Bogner itself was/is a fashion brand in Germany.
Still around https://www.bogner.com/de-de/bogner-world/

The former boss Willy Bogner was also doing a lot of outdoor movie filming (e.g. skiing scenes for several James Bond movies)

He also started a to sell Mountain Bikes early do mid ninties.
We do have a thread in the German forum
