Interesting... I'd be interested in more of a history lesson about that plant sometime. When did it open, who owned it, etc. I have a 1994 Nishiki made there, and I also own one of the Huffy Raleigh-USAs (made in Taiwan).
From the article:
Meanwhile, Los Angeles bicycle dealers said they have not suffered.
"We have not experienced any drop in sales," said Greg Stokel, the general manager of Bikecology Santa Monica. "There really doesn't seem to be a lot of that among brands we represent."
I bought a bike from that shop back in 1984.
