Looks like the same generic taiwanese aluminum frame that just about EVERYBODY'S using these days. If the prices are good, it should be fine.
From the vid at the link below, they look strong enough.

Low end frames don't have sanded welds, unless you're really bad at specing options from founder-land or wherever.

At $700 for the frame these things better not be "that generic Taiwanese frame everyone is using".

If you read the blog, I think you'll find they are not "that generica Taiwanese frame", but are made in Italy. Italian made frames aren't always super expensive. Btw, a decent alternative would be the Marinoni Pista Crono.
