Slightly off point but I always thought Assos were made in Switzerland but I'm sure the last bit I bought was designed in Switzerland but made in Slovakia or similar.
Can you imagine the costs if it was made in Switzerland? Swiss labour costs aren't cheap.
My Rapha merino has been laced by convicted tax dodgers in Swiss prisons.
I thought that was the reason it was so expensive. I guess in reality it's fairly 'cheap'.
