I have one same mold - Cobra was its name at velodrome.org.uk.
I like it.
Stiff, easy "drivable" etc, but I have problems with too wide horizontal stays near the BB - impossible to use low Q-factor cranksets like Omnium, for example - had to order a 4mm larger ISIS BB and use FSA Carbon Track cranksets. Even with square BB crank options, one would have to buy the larger BB axle option.
Now I have a set of square Campy classic track set on it, but had to buy the 115mm axle, not a regular 111mm.. and it's near like 2mm from the horizontal stays..

If it's as stiff as they make out it could be a smashing bargain for someone. I'm not looking myself, for now anyways.
