Who is blaming the factory workers? I'm saying Dorel seems to be proud of where the US-made C'dales are produced. They print it in large letters on the seat stays for everyone to see. They should do the same with their Chinese or Taiwanese made bikes because these places make such great bikes. At least that's what I've learned on this forum. Nothing wrong with these places and I have nothing against the people, but I'm against manufacturers hiding where bikes are made in order to avoid any negative perceptions of quality.

Seriously, I think there should be a law against those easy peel stickers on all bikes. Bikes made in China, Taiwan, USA, etc., should have to state where they are made UNDER THE CLEARCOAT, in easy to read letters. This would allow people to show "pride" when their ride around in their Chinese or Taiwanese made bikes.
