Them's local AZ folks... might have to go about's and tour their factory 
seeing as the bikes are most definitely not made in China and distributed here. [wit clarified]

Probably much the same as most mass produced carbon frames. Probably from similar factories.
it must be said though, that many fantastic frames com out of those factories. Do the homework, but dont discount it just for being Chinese or Taiwanese.

k....that was funny.
I like what you're trying to do here, but I think you also missed the point - the vast majority of all carbon frames are from Taiwan. Good and bad. It would have been a much less xenophobic statement to have said, "but don't discount it just for being generic".

That frame seems to have a really tall head tube.
Pedal Force also sells house branded frames and has more variety for different geometries. Also, people on this forum periodically do group buys from them.

"Dear FortitudoCycling:
This is an excellent bike. In my city in Brazil, there is an 18 km (11.18 mile) round lake. With this bike, it is easy to ride twice the lake in 1h10m. (The bike road is outside the photo).
The bike can go even 60km/h (37mph), but there is no road here for that.
