I think I understand what you are saying, but what would a volare or traveller be? Japan or Chicago? If the frame was made by pioneer, it's a subcontracted Wisconsin schwinn. Where it was chromed, painted or put together doesn't change the frames origin. This reminds me of the cadillac allante'. Body by pininfarina Italy, built in Detroit. Is it italian is it american? Is it both? Yes yes and yes.
