the quoted paragraph below, which is unclear, is partly why i posted the dangerous knowledge comment. The comments below are fact?...hrmm...
1500SLR- - - -This does not infer anything but China started by brand names about 20-30 odd years ago when American brands started to collapse. What does this all mean? Mongoose as a brand is only worth something in desperately impoverished areas of Chindia where people don't know any better that its not the same company anymore.
Good to know that except for quality and specs, bikes are all the same. Thats a funny concession right there. Besides extremely important things like quality and geometry design, they are the same! Ha, funny.

You are the one that seems to want to contest the issue of quality. What I inferred is that you spend money for what you get. The only half decent bikes that Dorell makes now are Cannondale.
I havent contested the issue of quality at all. I havent said(or even suggested) anything about quality as it pertains to country of manufacture. [Quote]
How have i contested the issue of quality?
