Foffa Bikes

I know that some factories in Malaysia and Vietnam and Tunisia have rather poor working conditions. The majority of Taiwanese and Chinese factories are better. Also the quality of steel tends to be better from Taiwanese factories.

If the frames are sourced from a crappy factory where the staff are outsourced from some poverty stricken environment and paid shit wages, perhaps I am not be so keen to buy one.

Also, some factories such as the one in Tunisia are set up by places like Walmart to avoid having to pay duty on bicycles to Europe, I am opposed to the huge anti dumping duties to Europe but I am also opposed to large or small corporations bypassing it.

All very interesting, I had serious doubts that bicycles for sale in this country were made in "sweat shop" style factories. You expect an amount with clothing and everyday consumables but bikes are still pretty niche in the manufacturing world.

I didn't know about the Walmart thing.
