    My RIBBLE Gran Fondo has the Italian flag on it. So that makes it Italian? :roll:

    Mine says it's "Crafted in Italy". I know fine well that it's made in Taiwan and I'm not bothered, but I don't understand how they are allowed to do that?

    Probably because "crafted" has no definition under consumers law unlike:

    Homemade - must be made on the premises selling
    Manufactured
    Fabricated

    Not sure where designed sits though.
