More gears, less tears

redeye cheers smeear!
I didn´t mean anything negative by it, was just a little surprised to see that top-end bikes are being made in Taiwan, not that it means anything these days, as long as the quality control is there AND as stringent as it would be in the US or UK, its all good.

Most of the prestige and not so prestige (Giant, Spesh, etc) brands are built in Taiwan. £5k "Italian" frames can be labeled as such because they are painted or "put together" in Italy.
