Most off the peg bikes, and even cheaper, branded frames are made by a factory in China. The company choose the frame they want out of a catalog, maybe ask the factory to tweek something slightly, then brand them as their own to sell to the masses.
Most of the aluminium and carbon frames, from various companies, on the market now are made in just a couple of factories.
