Why doesn't it say that then?

 

[MadoneRider1991]

Why doesn't it say that then?

it does , just uses crafted instead of made lol

 

[Happiness Stan]

It sure does

Sorry to crush your illusion Martyn, but the Gran Fondo is made in the Far East.

 

[martynrg]

I know Stan. So to correctly answer your question, what does 'crafted in Italy' mean? I have know idea, as it's come from Taiwan

 

[Happiness Stan]

You just contradicted your previous post but so long as you aren't labouring under the illusion that you have a bike that was made in Italy then thats fine. In fact it's even fine for you to labour under that illusion.

What gets my goat is a bike displaying half-truths which might decieve potential buyers or admirers. Not your fault of course.

Heres mine..... picked it up today

 

[martynrg]

I was playing along with Mr Madone

Pretty much all frames are made in China/Taiwan aren't they? Even the big names.

Still, it is misleading.

Nice Boardman l4dva!
