just because the bike is made in asia doesnt make it a knock off or inferior. when you pay for a premium for a well known brand you're paying for r&d, quality control, design and marketing. whether its made in the USA, italy, germany, or taiwan, the chances of getting a good product vs a dud has very little to do with where it was built.
