Made in USA Trek

In regards to Trek being made in USA, I bought a late 90's 700 Hybrid and it was apparently the last year for this model to be made in US. We bought a second one, same model number, the following year and it did not have the Made in USA sticker on the lower part of the frame. This one instead came from overseas. It looked about the same but proved to be just terrible-wobbly and off balance, moving parts just disintegrated. It's now long junked. Meanwhile, the older one still rides like new, very smooth and quick. Steel frame is not super fast, but an ideal all around bicycle with incredible durability and comfort. Don't know how many miles it has, but I ride year round in the NE and probably on my fourth or fifth drive train, perhaps third set of pedals etc and yet the machine still just glides. 100% worth the upkeep. Best bike ever for me.
