You should get the actual frame instead of the china! But man, this bike is such a beast!

Hah. Well, I woud've had to pay twice or thrice what I got this frame for. So I took some risks with unknown quality control and questionable warranty but I've been riding it for 3 years without a problem now.

The whole front end is super stiff, very responsive steering. No complaints, frame is holding together :)
