Hello all,

Have a look at the following URL:

http://www.biketaiwan.com/TBC/tbc_en.asp?cs_no=C07429

a Taiwanese bike manufacturer. Up to 200,000 frames per month.

Then take a gander at the US distributor:

http://www.leaderbikeusa.com/newLBweb/ldweb/LB.htm

Have a look at their road bike section. Compare some of the specs. The LD715R looks very much like a Pinarello.

Someone once told me that this company is the real maker of today's "tomorrow's classics".

Comments?

P.S I have no connection to the above other than I have bought one of their frames.
