Hi everyone, I'm just starting a series of posts on Italian bike manufacture to raise awareness on the incredible talent that we have in local manufacture in Italy. Here's the first in the series, and I'd appreciate if you take a look, and recommend if you like it! I discussed some classic bike brands such as Bianchi and Tommasini.

I also help my friend part-time at Heritage Division, who's working with Taurus Bicycles to help them launch products in the U.S. They are a series of classic & stylish bikes that really bring forth the tradition and beauty of handmade. You can see it here: http://heritagedivision.com/bicycles

Recognition at last Matthew, well done!, a justified honour
I thought this was going to be a piece about much of the production of 'Italian' bikes being moved overseas, particularly the carbon fibre frames and forks, but the heritage/ design remaining in Italy.
Did Pinarello get to be successful by sponsoring winning teams, or did their quality of product have something to do with it (at least in the early, less-money weighted sponsorship years)?
The charisma and 'cool' factor that has surrounded Italian made bikes may also be worth mentioning.
