Eldron Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Where bikes are made still seems important to people so here I have a pic of the underside of Tom Boonen's new Quick Step Eddy Merckx EMX-7 Interesting little sticker huh?

trekpostal Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Greater majority of high end carbon frames made in Taiwan or China. I have a cannondale and made in China since 2010 - no longer "handmade in the USA"

gummibear Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 LOOK's are manufactured in France and in LOOK's own factory in Tunisia. The LOOK 566 is made in Taiwan though. When can i get a tour of the factory? BMC Impec tour was really good.

I will be in France for a week at the end of February and am hoping to go to Nevers.I just don't know what to do with the wife though
Mr LOOK Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Ring the HQ before you go and ask them to organize you a 695 to test ride....I'm sure your wife won't mind.

Vetseun Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Why Tunisia? Probably because they pay salaries of R3.50 per month thereLOOK's are manufactured in France and in LOOK's own factory in Tunisia. The LOOK 566 is made in Taiwan though.
Mackie Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Why Tunisia? Probably because they pay salaries of R3.50 per month thereOverpaying staff like that is a bad business model.
Caerus Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Overpaying staff like that is a bad business model. Bwah ha ha
