Hello all,

I think for those that enjoy biking and it's various aspects they are not really worried about the economic model that brought their bike to their doorstep. Economically companies do what they need to do, to survive.

What may worry many, is that the expensive shiny new bike they spent hard earned money on, was not hand crafted by "Luigi" in his small workshop.

If I were to list a number of manufacturers, how many would actually be made by those manufactures, or rather, not contracted out to a Taiwanese manufacturer?
