But I have to say that the fact that they decided to cheap out and go overseas during the worst recession since the great depression does not speak well of the company. Chinese labor is starting to get so expensive that paying Americans to do their jobs again has become viable, yet Cannondale decides to outsource anyway?

That said, under-the-tape 105 for the win!

They didn't "decide" to go overseas, they were sold to a company that already did their manufacturing overseas.
