I have to dissagree, my friends Trek Bruiser 2 had a made in China sticker on the frame. My Kona says made in Canada on the frame.
I also don't like Treks XC bikes: frames are ok, some of the parts aren't great for the price. But I do like their Bruiser 2 and Session bikes. The Bruiser 3, to me, just seems like crap for the price (RST and manitou).
