Is the Madone frame made in the US or simply painted here allowing them to label it as "Made in the USA"? The Pinarello is a work horse and the one I would want if I were in a crash. Tough frames made to handle the demands of racing. I bet the Madone feels quicker and more lively.

There was a time not so long ago that Schwinns were purchased over foreign brands because they were made in the USA. I can still remember the looks of folks faces when I would show them the "Giant" sticker on the right dropout. Of course they were embarrassed by their ignorance, but that is because the Schwinn dealer neglected to educate them. Of course this was to his advantage!

Now the top frames in the industry are manufactured in China. They made good stuff.
