Probably a dumb question, but is a Medici Pro Strada an American bike? Chuck was quoting from a list of awards at last year's Lars Anderson shoe. "Best American Award went to the Medici Pro Strada". Doesn't sound like a Yankee Doodle Dandy to me, but I am often wrong in such matters. Were they made here as some Masis were?
