I'm assuming "made by Cr-Mo"

means

"This is just hi-tension steel, not in any what related to the chromium/molybdenum alloy you are used to in half-decent steel bikes. We say it's Cr-Mo, because we like to lie."

I'm actually being sincere, I would be stunned if these frames were chromoly.

I'm also guessing "weight about 2.5kg" means "weight 4 kg".
