i think it matters if they are misleading consumers to believe the product originates elsewhere. I briefly went to the website and couldn't really find any mention of where the bikes are manufactured. there are plenty of italian flags though and talk of "great craftsmanship", etc.
i know this is the norm, but i think more companies should just be forthright with it.
