>>1902419Honestly after agonizing over this for ages I've come to the conclusion that this is unironically the best option if you care about ethics. I have yet to find a north american framebuilder who isn't ethically questionable (located in MAGAland or crypto-MAGAland)
Italy seemed safe until you realized that they're all in *northern* italy home of lega nord and similar creeps
Say what you will about the xi regime but individual mailand people just want freedom and never did anything to try to take away my rights or spread propaganda against people like me
If there was a taiwanese framebuilder that had a reasonable means of communicating in english, and was set up for dealing with individual customers, I'd be all over it in a heartbeat but I don't think that exists
