Hmmmmm.... not at hand and seeing it was 3 am when I posted it I should have maybe kept my mouth shut.
There is however a lot of this stuff going on in the bike trade in general. Never any hard proof but if you go to the international bike shows, talk to people and keep your eyes open you'll figure it out.
Fact of the matter is that close to 90% percent of all the bikeparts that you buy (new not vintage) come from Taiwan or there abouts these days.
Not talking about very small firms but the big ones.
