Too true! I have an entirely Chinese-made bike and...well...it is the biggest piece of crap.
granted it only cost me less than 20 American, but still.
Also, if you're going to be putting on brakes you should look at Paul Components. I just
got a set of their cantilevers and they are amazing. So well crafted makes me want
to cry "OOhh saaaayy caaaannn yoooouuuuu seeeeee! Byyyyy thhhhehee..."

consumables can be foreign — I mean there just isn't a tire I could use otherwise.
