LOW bicycle lookalike i

I told my friend that my next build will be a LOW and he told me that instead of paying $1200 for the frame that there is a frame that looks just like their pursuit (decals and all) for a cheaper price. Anybody else heard of this ?

Meh on LOW.
The truth is, there are many framebuilding workers in China with decades more experience than Andrew Low.... yet earn a modest wage and ego.

There's ton of aluminum track frames out there, have you actually ridden that frame to make sure you'll be comfortable riding it for whatever your using it for? Just google searching should yield some results. If I was going to spend $1200 on a frame, I would get one made custom. You can look at the Dolan Pre Cursa, Fuji Track Pro, Mash Histogram, Unknown LV1, Pake French 75, LDG Aero MK2. Not sure about any frames that have identical geo and look as the LOW. Why doesn't your friend tell you which model he's talking about? People can say a lot of things and the only thing that comes out of their mouths is bs.

Yeah, but it LOOKS like something nicer, and I think that's really the point here, isn't it?

Oh, so you wanna be Marc Marino? Just kidding. I don't know much about Low frames, however they seem to look like just about every other high-end aluminum track frame.
