I want the workstand!

Tacx Cycle Motion in case you're interested...

I have one, I'd recommend it. Though it can be a bit more of a faff than the usual type it's nice and sturdy

The crude rear cable hanger suggests to me it's a very low-end frame.

Eh? Fastback stays are not found on 'cheap' bikes either so, erm, er, um...?

And quality frames don't have such crude cable hangers

The welding on the main tubes looks quite neat, but then the cable hanger & top tube cable guides are really cheap. It's almost like an order was cancelled when the frames were half built (it does look quite like a MF), and so they finished them off as cheaply as possible to try and recoup their costs.

When did you last see a decent frame made from PG pipes?
- a nice looking, stylish, very low-end frame I reckon
