There's a bit of resentment amongst the Italian bicycle fanatics that "Made in Italy" doesn't hold the same panache as it once did. A fancy paint job by itself just doesn't cut it anymore for me, especially when just a name somehow warrants a 600% markup.
True, however, cervelo and specialized are also putting 600% markups on their bikes.
