Now! It is Miche who is providing material for the lower end Mirage and Veloce, Cassettes/hubs/cranks/bbs. This was passed on to me just reccently by several others who buys Campy in bulk form for their in house brands of bikes. As to where some of the Miche stuff in produced, no idea!
Since Campy subbed out all of their steel hardware. It would be nice to know who they were? Always looking for small parts!
BC......Baron Corpuz....Holland!
