^^ You either need some remedial reading comprehension or you need to get out from under the rock more. The interview was correct - - as corroborated by my linked post in the MTBR forum placed there by Jeff Titone that stated the same thing. Lazy journalists misquote; but people rarely misquote themselves (unless it's after the fact ).

As far as where it's made; yeah, it's nice to have a few more jobs for skilled tradespeople. But even companies who outsource the actual tubing-drawing and frame-welding are still employing a lot of people here to get the product out the door. So I myself am not going to obsess as to whther or not my 303R has a "Handmade in Colorado" sticker on it. There are still a lot of fine people right here who are making a living so that I can ride one.
