I agree with Aaron that country of manufacture doesn't tell much about a product's reliability or durability. You need more information. Since carbon fiber is still a lot less mature than steel, if I were buying a CF bike, I would want one from an established name brand company such as Specialized. I would trust smaller companies such as Pinarello, since they put out good stuff. If Specialized sees fit to have their frames made in China, that's fine.

Aaron, which model is yours? I like the looks of it, and it looks like a versatile bike.
