these carbon frames have been around for at least half a year,
Built in Asia, and branded as AD,
I dont think there is anything wrong with them, imported just wants to sell them on ebay
"test the market"
I think he has like 10-20 he bought.
this is one built up in austria.

I didn't think I'd ever see the AD brand on a bike that had a sloped back TT!
The world is over!

I'm with you, it does not look bad. It's the loud graphics that usually turn me off. This one looks nice and simple.
However, I don't really like the name being brought back by another company for recognition.

Reminds me of poor Indian Motocyles. It's been revived again & again, always overpriced & substandard. Or in the case of the Indian minibikes from the 70s, completely off-base.
Yes, it's "motocycles" That's how Indian spelled it in 1901.

I asked the seller about the name-
"Its the brand I used to ride."

The white paint and simple, but classy graphics make it look pretty decent compared to most cf bikes out there. Too bad, if they had to bring the name back, they should have done it with a classic geo and lugged cf tubes. Something along the lines of what Look does.
