I just thought I'd share this. Straight from Bianchi's site...

Bianchi Reparto Corse is the utmost expression of the "celeste" philosophy. At Bianchi everything is home-made, an unrelenting activity of tests and experiments takes place at every production stage, from the design of the tubes section all the way through to the release of the finished product.

Somehow it doesn't equate. This is probably where that guy got the idea of 100% pure Italian. Yet, anything below the 928 and Oltre are outsourced in Asia. I did hear or read somewhere that if you only buy the "frame", it is Made in Italy. I wonder if this is true on higher end Italian frames? What if someone, just for the hell of it, decided to pack an Asian manufactured frame over the Italian made one?
