It's interesting ... there have been numerous threads here and in the Road Forum about US-made bicycle. In fact, the wording in this thread is almost identical to one that showed up in the Road forum about a month ago. It seems to be a big deal to some people to have a US-made bicycle for some reason.

Why don't we see more threads about European-made bicycles, Taiwanese-made bicycles, Canadian-made bicycle, Australian-made bicycles or Japanese-made bicycles?
