Bicycle company based in Italy, manufacturer of fine bikes in steel, aluuminum, and titanium. See also Trek, Specialized, and Kona Mountain Bikes. Opposite of Cannondale, which can tend to use lower-quality components to offset their otherwise prohibitively expensive frames (which would make sense as a link except the people on this site are computer geeks rather than spandex wearing pansies, which as a link does not make sense... everything is confusing).
