I think a similar question was posted recently, but no replies came.

The Masi bikes currently represented by the website http://www.masibikes.com/ are billed as "Faliero Masi" bikes. I don't know where these are made. Bikes are also sold in the US from Alberto Masi in Italy under the "Milano" name. Performance catalog had some Masi frames for sale rather cheaply, but these had "Alberto Masi" on them. Where were these made, to what quality standard, and how was the trademark thing skirted?

Thanks for any comments,
