The OP's question sort of depresses me.

These days bikes have become generic. No matter what the brand name is on the tubes, it is likely made in the same Taiwanese factory as Giant, Jamis, Raleigh and nearly every other bike that you can name. Unless you go boutique or high end, basically every bike is the same. They even have the same components, mostly Shimano. So don't think that Motobecane is still some exotic French made bicycle, or a Raleigh is still made in England or that Schwinn is still made in the USA, because they are not.

Yeah, it's all abit depressing....
