Trek Madone 6 frames are made in pieces, too. But someone else is making the pieces for them, the arrive in Waterloo and their assembly people take it from there.
My only point was that Giant does it all themselves.
Are you sure of your statement of the Trek OCLV frames?? Do you want to be more specific about the pieces your referring too? I am just curious?
Trek OCLV
In 1992, Trek introduced its proprietary OCLV carbon process (Optimum Compaction Low Void) which is still used in its handmade carbon frames. All OCLV carbon frames - road and mountain - are still made in Waterloo, Wisconsin.
