Cro-mo MTB 26 Red Frame - Overstock™ Shopping - Great Deals on Bike Parts & Accessories

We don't know anything about frame building, but looked askance at the odd reinforcements(?) at the head tube. A triangle underneath and a plate above the top tube. Then we saw in the Q & A that the head tube angle is listed at 56.1. Which from what I can tell would be unusually straight.

Made us wonder if this wasn't a manufacturing defect requiring the crude reinforcements. Which rendered them unsuitable for regular commercial channels.

But we're relative neophytes and wondered what the pros thought.
