no argument from me about wally world. but then again you can buy the same bikes at target, sears, or k-mart.
besides you'd be surprised how many wallyworld bikes are made (at least in part) in taiwan. incidentally, this is where my two cf frames are made. and a genuine american made frame is pretty much a multi-thousand dollar proposition. and even then the wheels, stem, post, saddle, fork, and drive chain are typically made elsewhere.
