I completely agree. Add to that:
High end stock bikes are made in the USA or Europe (the cycling meccas). Yay!
High end stock bikes are made in Asia by US and European design companies. Yay!
High end stock bikes are made in Asia by companies that work closely with and supply US and European design companies. Yay.
High end stock bikes are made and designed in Asia. Yay?
And that's how Chinarello becomes the equivalent to a Pinarello in just a few short years. Companies have sold overseas production quality so well that consumers are starting to believe that no one knows bikes like the Chinese.
