We had a discussion on my frame here in this forum, back when I found it. The consensus was that it was AELLE tubing, based on the lack of "rifling" and the seat post size (26.8). It is interesting that a "lower end" CIOCC would have a chrome fork and chrome rear triangle, but that seems to be the case.
At any rate, the chrome fork alone is worth $50-$75 on eBay, assuming it is in decent shape.
