let's be honest here. these threads are simply losers whining about losing instead of stepping up and competing. they know nothing about other countries and nothing about trade/business/economics. all they can do is throw slander after slander at others.
why don't you losers ask your bike companies why they don't make bikes instead of buying bikes from asian sellers? how about investing in some carbon fiber factories? no guts to take business risk.

Since you implicitly directed that at me, I'll reply. I don't need to ask these companies why they moved their factories, because I already know. Lower wages means more profit. You're the one whining like a clown. Why don't you post on-topic instead of calling others losers that you nothing nothing about
so you whine that it is about low wages when it is about having the facilities and skills. how do you think trek does so well? they make their own bikes so they can compete.

You guys are fighting in a thread that had been dead for over a year and only became active b/c it was nominated for a "Hall of Fame" that is about dumb threads.
Think about it.

Guys when I said my bike was made in Taiwan I was looking at my tires. I just looked at the front derailler and it said made in China on my frame. Is this bad? I thought it was American and I paid 600 for my bike. My LBS did this to me. The LBS guy said I could get 30mph so I bought it.
I thought my bike was American and saw Taiwan so I did search for Taiwan and found this thread. You got a problem with that? My frame is Chinese. Yea my next bike will be American because Im proud to be an American.

Learn to capitalize. Why you say Im racist? Im not a racist. BTW who is the Internet?
you are the one who revived this trollish thread. It probably never occurred to your pre-pubescent brain that non-Asians might take your comments as trollish and incorrect.
Go ride your Chinese-made bike more and post less. Alternatively, smarten up so you can earn enough to buy a US-made bike
