Maybe, maybe not. Who's to say a similarly skilled and equipped Asian manufacturer to MDE couldn't subcontract repair and refurbishing for several brands? My ignorance could be showing here.
Edit: When Chinese companies can somewhat successfully replicate the [hightower](https://imgur.com/44cOxQp) in to a rideable frame and even have their sights set on the [new range](https://imgur.com/jTA7bbN), why couldn't Asian companies skilled in alloy bikes perform the above repairs/refurbishing if sufficiently motivated and actually supported by OEMS and brands?
