I meant the comparison between a Cinelli and a Leader or State not being unreasonable. The OP already acknowledges that his bike is not in the same league as a Cinelli, State, Leader.

Sorry, i shouldn't have really quoted you, i guess. Don't get yer lycra sausage casing in a bunch.
I was simply saying that neon yellow makes it look like a cheap BikesDirect type bike. I think that's an older non China(probably Japanese) bike, so if it was painted differently could be really nice(er), but that's just my opinion.

Unfortunately that is the way of our multi-national world today and comparing Cinelli product to other crappy far-east makers coz they both were built somewhere in Asia is a false equivalency...
edit - BTW, willing to admit I have owned some Bikesdirect...uhhh...stuff(?)...myself

Ok - I think we accept quite some time ago that a lot of Cinelli (and majority of everybody else's) bikes are now made in Asia. But please forgive me if I wait to to hear from a non-Bikesdirect source what they may or may not be doing in China?

So, what's the difference ? Either way, it's full of a bunch of foreigners.

Wut?
Really? WTF are you insinuating? I thought my bike was made by industrious Chineses? Not some lazy Eyetalians? Always taking siestas after lunch?
Thanx alot for your compliment but why would you want something that those guys just told me was made in Italy, when instead you could have a dozens of Asian Bikesdirect crap bikes for less?
Yesh, no reason to post pics of bicycles in this thread, right? So much better to...uhhh...do whatever is being done here...
