For the facepalmers - not sure what the issue is here... Is it not one of the purposes of this forum to ask questions & share info? Seems like you're going out of your way to be insulting/negative when you can just skip over the thread if it's redundant or uninspiring.
Clarification - Yes, I realize most of the components are made outside the USA - I'm curious mostly about American made frames and bikes assembled here.
Kudos to those who shared info directly related to my question!
You have to understand that this question comes up every 6 months or so and has been rehashed ad-nauseum.
There are also those here who believe that BF is a search engine and human interaction is not the point.
I believe people come here to interact and learn from those who share similar interests and with this in mind, there is no question that is silly ( not implying your question is silly, it is not).
One thing I find interesting, there was a time that Made in USA was a stamp of quality and Made in Japan was a stamp of cheap, poor quality goods. Times have changed and the moniker made in USA does not necessarily mean quality.
My bike, a Merlin Ti/CF frame called the Lunaris was made here in USA and is a piece of art.
If I had the time to wait, and the money to spend I would buy a Richard Sachs bike, Hand made steel and truly classics. Check his web site .
There are so many good, smaller frame builders it is hard to know where to start. Some are too beautiful to ride. Happy hunting.
