Marionis are more well known in Up-state NY, lots of Canada stuff is. Many shops in the States for the past twenty years have carried the bikes. Cervelo is not an Italian company, the owners aren't Italian or Spanish, they made-up the name. Many Cervellos are made in China,mainland , NOT Taiwan. I'm leery of China-made.I think some newer bikes are made there, not all THAT many though. When Companies keep a close eye & good quality contol, there's potential (I hope)
Well I've been happy with my custom Marinoni Ciclo.
And yes, I know that Cervelo is not an Italian company. It is a Canadian company. But the fact that they outsource doesn't surprise me ... most companies do that.
