has anyone figured out why business cycles brands them as nessuno instead of eai? they also claim it's made in italy while everywhere else has said it's made in taiwan with italian steel. it's obviously the same bike, and the bike is awsome. and by awesome i mean totally sweet. (shocks, pegs, lucky!)
curiously, in italian "nessuno" translates to "nobody". fitting name for a bike with no logos.

Yeah the Nessuno pretty takes the Cake for me. In fact, I had that business cycle pic as my desktop background for a while.
$595 isn't too bad, but whoever sells them on Ebay probably has them for less. Just a guess.

Thanks for your note. The "Nessuno" frameset you see listed on my pages is a
model that was commissioned by California distributor Euro-Asia Imports.
When the first of these frames arrived in the US, I brought in a sample and
hurriedly built one up with a dog's-dinner of parts that were conveniently
at hand. I liked pretty much everything about the frame except for what I regarded as a
somewhat lame model name they had assigned to it (Bareknuckle).
I took some pix of the bike I built up to accompany the web page I was
putting together, and during the construction of the page was fooling around
with fonts and other html whatnots and jokingly called it "Nessuno" (Italian
for no one) since the frame comes with no identifying decals apart from a tubing sticker. I liked
the result much better than calling it "Bareknuckle" and have left it that way.
Subsequently, even Euro-Asia took note of what I'd done and wrote to thank
me for including "Nessuno" in the roster of frames on my pages so I assume
they offer no serious objection.
There is no humbug involved here--those who've made serious inquiry here
about the frames are invariably apprised of the origins of the name
"Nessuno". I just can't get enthusiastic about promoting it as a
"Bareknuckle".
About a month after my Nessuno frame web page went up, someone called my
attention to another dealer's Bareknuckle listing which suggested these
frames are fabricated in Taiwan. Since my understanding all through the
months leading to the actual arrival of the frames in the US was that they were made in or
around Venezia, Italy, I contacted Euro-Asia for confirmation. To my question "Just
for clarification: where (country) are Bareknuckle frames fabricated?",
their reply was simply "This project is 100% Italian".
You can get a Bareknuckle just about anywhere, but NESSUNO is available
_exclusively_ at Business Cycles. Wouldn't you really rather have a genuine
NESSUNO?

I just read this: You can get a Bareknuckle just about anywhere, but NESSUNO is available
_exclusively_ at Business Cycles. Wouldn't you really rather have a genuine
NESSUNO? (Okay I took the statement to seriously I guess)
Okay I am a big believer in not selling the hype but selling the product. If something does not have a logo and the name is lame we call it Private label. It covers every company running out there and trying to flood the market with the same item with their name on it and jack the prices up.
Lets talk details everyone. First off Rather it's a barenuckles, Private label or Nussano it's still the same frame. Heres another fact for you. This frame wholesales for $350.00.
I only have one of these frames and it's not Black so do not consider this a sales pitch. I am sure after reading the posting I will start carrying the sexy Black Models. It's official They are Italian made and they are respected by us alot more at our shop. God knows I just saw they have Bubble Gum Pink, I am all over that one. Anyone want a IRO bike? I am thinking killer pink for me next. lol
These frames do come in: White, Black, Yellow, Khaki Green, and Bubble Gum Pink Soon.
Sizes are ranging from: 48-62cm in even sizes. this is measured center to center.
I just thought the community here is just that and should be informed as a community. I am sure the buyers/ Riders will love this information ( I was wrong someone seems to have taken offence by this) and the dealers here will beg to get this post pulled as fast as they can.
In short we had to change the info tot he ads. It was so far off it was not even close to right. I have to say thanks for the info everyone because we can not be right all the time and lets face it we all can use a little help.

"This frame wholesales for $350.00. I am not sure but I think we throw shipping in on ours. If not I am sure we could and not die over it. To call a frame something else admit its the same name and jack another $100.00+ shipping on to the equasation is just wrong in my opinion. "
Is it just me, or does Vegas seem to be getting sleazier?

Businesscycles sells all sizes/colors for $539 + shipping.

i think we can assume that shipping is approx $25, so what we've really got is a $39 difference, not $100.
