Guerciotti is a very famous brand of Italian bike frames.  They used to be very well known in the 80's but somehow aren't as well known these days (Colnago, Pinarello and DeRosa seem to have more visibilty).\n\nYou didn't say if what kind of frame you were buying -- most bikes these days are made in Asia if they are the "low-end" bikes (regardless of brand); only the "high-end" frames or customized frames are made in Italy.  \n\nI'll probably get flamed for this, but quality control for Italian-made frames can be highly variable.  You need to check the welds/joints for the bike you will be purchasing.  Surprising, the quality for Asia-made bicycles tends to be more uniform (and pretty good for the price you are paying).

depends what for, Haro are known for BMX, specialised are known for mountain bikes, my advice would be stay with the manufacturers that make the type of bike you want. For example, If ferrari made golf carts, i am sure they would sell well because of branding, weather they would be any good is a different matter!, ferrari are masters at sports cars, but not at golf carts!

Germany. For the right amount of cash you can run on the Nubergring. I think I might have mispelled that.

Where does Nike produce its shoes? \n\n\nDuring the 1970's, most Nike shoes were made in South Korea and Taiwan. When workers there gained new freedom to organize and wages began to rise, Nike looked for "greener pastures." It found them in Indonesia, China, and most recently Vietnam--countries where protective labor laws are poorly enforced and cheap labor is abundant. Also in China and Vietnam, the law prohibits workers from forming independent trade unions. This was also true in Indonesia until 1998, when dictator General Suharto was overthrown. These three countries continue to be the major places where Nike shoes are made. \n\n\nDoes Nike run its own factories? \n\n\nNo, Nike does not own any of the factories where its shoes are produced; it contracts the work to various factory owners. Nike say it is in the business of "marketing" shoes, not making them. However, Nike dictates the terms to the contractor: the design, the materials, the price it will pay. While companies like Nike used to try to avoid responsibility for factory conditions by saying they were "just the buyer," the anti-sweatshop movement has made this excuse unacceptable and forced the retailers—who are, after all, the ones who make the greatest profit—take responsibility for the workers who make their products. \n\nWhy pick on Nike, if other shoe companies are just as bad? \n\n\nFirst of all, we heard many, many complaints from Nike workers and local labor groups. The AFL-CIO office in Indonesia, for example, said that Nike factory workers filed more complaints about wage violations than any other shoe company. In the first two years that Nike was in Vietnam, one factory official was convicted of physically abusing workers, another fled the country during a police investigation of sexual abuse charges and a third was under indictment for abusing workers, as reported in The New York Times. \n\nSecondly, it's important to pick a company that can afford the cost of improvements. Nike is so profitable and sells its shoes for such high prices that it can well afford to double the workers' wages without increasing the retail price. \n\nThirdly, Nike is the biggest shoe company in the world and puts itself forth as an industry leader. Their Code of Conduct says: "in the area of human rights... in the communities in which we do business, we seek to do not only what is required, but what is expected of a leader." By targeting the industry leader, we hoped to make changes throughout the whole industry. This strategy has proven effective. Reebok, for example, has been making improvements in its overseas factories even though it has not been the target of a major campaign. Adidas, fearful of being tarred with the Nike brush, is starting to make changes as well. \n\n\nAren't the workers happy to have the factory jobs? \n\n\nNike has indeed brought many jobs to Southeast Asia, and workers certainly want jobs. But they want their dignity, too. They don't want to be physically or verbally abused by their supervisors or to work excessive overtime for extremely low wages. Job creation and worker exploitation should not go hand in hand. It is not enough to simply create jobs; Nike should be creating opportunities and prosperity, paying wages that allow its workers to pull themselves out of poverty. \n\nWhile company officials say that many workers line up to get these jobs whenever there are openings, they fail to mention the numerous strikes that workers organize to protest unfair labor practices. In April 1997, 10,000 Indonesian workers went on strike over wage violations. In the same month, 1,300 workers in Vietnam went on strike demanding a one-cent-per-hour raise and in 1998, 3,000 workers in China went on strike to protest not only low wages, but hazardous working conditions. And remember, in these countries, workers who protest put themselves at great personal risk. They can end up fired and blacklisted

paintballa944 has the right answer.  In 1844, Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber in 1844 that was later used for tires. \n\n\nThe tire was first invented and patented by R W Thomson.  He patented the Pneumatic Tyre in 1845. His first design used a number of thin inflated tubes inside a leather cover.\n\nso 1845 not 1844
