Well folks can "believe" anything they want! But pray tell what was non Italian manufacture on most Italian racing bikes c. 1960-80s? My Cinelli SC does have a Brooks saddle. The rest is tutti Italiani.

The only foreign bit on a PX-10 is what? Well the Reynolds tubing! Or maybe the Brooks saddle if that's what was fitted.

Today of course it's quite different but CR period bikes... yep, that's Italian. Or French. Not belief or opinion. Just the list of components.
