It is interesting / amazing at how the bike business has changed. I love the vintage, early 80s Treks. Back then, they were truly special, being made of Reynolds steel,
at their small factory in Waterloo, WI.

I look at the various bikes on the sales floors, and none really do anything for me. Sorry folks, but they just don't. If I were going to purchase another bike, it would be:

-A vintage Trek, likely bought off ebay.
-Another Gunnar.
-OR, just go all-out and have one built up by Peter Mooney in Belmont.

I do remember when both Trek and Cannondale made big marketing stuff about how their bikes were American made. And now? It's
all been nice explained in the posting above.
