My wife and I have a pair of '97 TREK 820's we bought new, her's a 16" and mine a 22" frame. Her's had a "Made in Taiwan" sticker on the lower head tube (since removed) but mine has "MADE in the USA" and a small American flag UNDER the clear coat on the lower seat tube and there was a noticeable difference in the quality of some of the hardware. They had the same components, wheels, etc. but some of the small stuff was definitely different. I though TREK had farmed out all their low end MTB's to Giant by then. Both have been re-invented a couple times over the years, only the frame is original on mine and on the wife's the frame and fork so it's really a moot point but is there a chance mine was actually a Wisconsin built frame or was it a Giant frame assembled in the US?
