Have you ever ridden a Colnago?
Their low end ones might be made in Taiwan but they are open about it, unlike so many other manufacturers like Pinarello or Cervelo, and they charge lower prices for those frames. That aside, they also invest heavily in R&D and build bikes that are perfect for racing.
The Croix de Fer is a perfectly adequate bike but it weighs over 10kgs, which for cross racing is a major impediment.
