think of it this way, for the same price and essentialy the same component specs you can get an american made frame raced by major teams (cannondale) or a tiwanese made frame geared more towards ease of manufacture and to my knowledge no team races it (trek).
Are you sure about this?
Trek: Discivery Channel
Giant: T-Mobile
Cannondale: Lampre Caffita
I would say that all three of the frames the OP was looking for are raced in the Pro Peloton.
