Pinarello is a prime example and most other brands in some form or another

Thanks, I see what you mean https://bikebiz.com/when-is-a-pinarello-not-a-pinarello-when-it-is-a-chinarello/amp/

edit: here's more. My question is 5 years out of date https://bikebiz.com/cream-competent-or-cowboy-which-factories-are-faking-it/

Which Western brands source carbon frames in the West? There's Parlee, which builds them in house, with their own moulds. Probably a huge amount of money down the toilet compared to using Pinarello's supplier. Any others?

I’ve heard from a couple former employees of three local bike brands that their frames are mostly shipped from china, they just build them up over here etc. a few of the flagship ones are made here but hundreds are sent over from Asia.
