Hi all, I'm curious which country or make of bike in general has influenced the modern USA frame builders the most? I know some builders apprenticed over in England, some at Masi USA, etc. As an example, do the older frames from say Italy produce todays favored geometry and the frames from England the fancy lugs?

cheers,
