On the Italian 3V I owned it stated clearly on the decals in at least a couple of places that it was made in Italy. How does this differ from American Masi 3 V bikes? Do they say something like "Made in U.S.A" or "Made in California"? In short, I am asking how to tell the difference between an Italian one and an American made one. Am I correct in assuming it is the same bike?
Thanks all,
