But nearly every monocoque is from the Far East and I have to guess this is? Also wish they would have gone screw thread bottom bracket on it or done something similar to Colnago with their threadfit.
From the link in the second post:
The Huez and Huez RS will be built in both Tunisia and the Far East. While some will lament a partial turn away from the brand’s traditional European focus, it appears that the change in production doesn’t represent a switch in the traditional European focus.
Rather, the move is an effort to streamline Look’s global distribution logistics, easing the delivery of bike to the USA.
My interpretation of that is that it is going to depend upon where you are located. Europe will most likely get the Tunisian frames and the with frames made in the Asia t going to countries on the Pacific rim. But that's not explicitly stated, just implied.
The other possible interpretation is that the monocoques will be made in Asia and shipped to Tunisia where they will then be built up into complete bikes.
Regardless, that's the manufacturing story on the bike.
