The name doesn't mean anything here. This seems to be a generic made-in-China aluminum fork. The same factory makes the same fork under private label for a number of bike companies, or maybe to be sold as loose forks.

About the only way you can make a judgement about quality is to look around for bikes using the same fork (though it may be decaled differently).

One thing to consider, and consider this a personal bias, not a proven fact. I'm not a fan of aluminum steerer tubes. I know some companies use them, but I prefer the don't-think-about-it proven reliability of steel steerers. This goes double if you plan to use disc brakes which tend to create more fork stress than cantis.

The awesome sales pitch on eBay is good for a laugh.
And remember "We use either Hong Kong Post and USPS or UPS to deliver the FRESH COFFEE to you !"

Yep, they're ok. I got one and it's fine; seems to be strong. I did notice that one of the canti mounts is about a millimeter higher than the other one though.
