I know that 2009 was made in usa(uh..right?), and I used to think that the rest of them was made in taiwan until I saw this picture. Did they made frames both in Taiwan and China? I’m a little confused. I used to have a Cinellishark and mash work. shark made in China and mash,work made in Taiwan.

I sincerely doubt any of Cinelli’s frames were ever made in the USA. Their high end frames are made in Italy and their cheaper frames are made in Asia. Considering the MSRP on those Cinelli/Mash collaborations I would say Asia as Cinelli’s Italian made frames are usually twice the price of their Asian-made frames.
i’m no expert, but is it possible that a “made in china” sticker was required in order to be sold in the US, and the law that requires it clumps Taiwan and China together?
Mclaren formula one team names their racecars sequnetially MCL#, currently on the MCL38, so i like to imagine that in 14 years the MCL52 f1 car will just be this dude’s bike
My 2009 has Columbus tubing, there’s no sticker anymore, but I’m pretty sure it was made in Italy and 1,000% sure the tubes were.
