Derosa and Colnago-'supposedly' is right. Not a fan of aliuminum but I am
pretty sure these two are not made in Asia...

I think the Mizuno forks that De Rosa uses are made in Taiwan. I know
mine is. The best fork I have ever owned mind you.

The carbon tubes for many Italian framesets are made by Mizuno, but Japanese,
methinks. Tubes made then shipped to Italia and frameset made there...

I would like to point out that bike frames are not like fine wines and cheeses,
where the soil where they're made makes a difference in the final product. If
Colnago can buy good tubes or forks from Taiwan, then by all means they should.

er, where exactly would all these cheap knock-off companies be if they
didn't have quality stuff to copy???

quality and experience of its work force /are/ a company's "soil". if
/everyone/ just buys cheap generic copies then what happens with the
next generation? the "soil" that used to grow the good stuff has died.
no more fine wine & cheese to copy. only mediocrity remains.

Agree but this thread started as somebody saying that DeRosa and Colnago
ALUMINUM framesets were made in Asia and I don't think those two are.
