My question is simple :: is there a "spreadsheet" of sorts that shows the Chinese frame name as compared to its brand name counterpart?

For example -

Dengfu FM098 = Specialized Venge
Dengfu FM028 = Trek Madone (I think)
Etc.

There are so many FM model numbers and the pictures are always so horrible resolution that I can't tell.

Any help would be appreciated.

not that i have found, i owned a FM028 and it wasnt a trek maddone, i lined it up to my friends identical sized maddone and there were subtle differences, the closest match we got was to a canyon a few years ago. If you find a spreadsheet with the details please post it, would be a great read!

Whatever is created, for clarity (on both sides of the "chinese frame" vitriol) we should write "looks like" not "equals"

This thread will not end well.

Looks like is a better term to use i agree.
