>>960414>buying anything that isn't bike parts, cars meant to be driven, food, or clothes from ItalyThere's your mistake senpai. Italians know their food, clothes, cars, and bikes well. And they can also make beautiful things out of all four of them. However they also know it when they make something good and put a proper price tag on it. If you want Italian quality you gotta pay up, but when you do you get something that's stunning and works perfectly for what it's designed for. But this only applies to the four mentioned categories, that is because Italians are passionate about those things.
No one forces you to buy an expensive Pinarello, Colnago or Cinelli yet you're complaining here how others buy them. That makes you sound like a butthurt poorfag that can't afford one. No one realistic expects to get top of the line race tires when they buy the cheapest shit the company produces, not even if their top of the line tire was the best you could buy. Also I don't get why everyone hates luxxotica, they make good quality frames, some of which I've used for years and are still like new. And I've never had to pay anywhere near full price on frames when buying glasses.
I'll agree that they can't make trains for shit but that doesn't fall under the listed four categories. And if you buy anything that doesn't belong to those four categories from Italy you've only got yourself to blame. Also if you buy cheap shit from Italy you've only got yourself to blame, even if it belongs to the four categories they know how to do. Their cheap shit isn't magically any better from any other cheap shit yet people somehow expect it to be better because it's Italian. Wake the fuck up to the real world. If others can't produce good quality products for that price it's highly unlikely that the Italians are going to sell something good for that price.
