Yea and they ramp that down a notch every year...no longer making the rear triangles for the AL/CF bikes here and no longer making all of their CF bikes here either. Most if not all of the AL frames are not made in Taiwan.

Cannondale on the other hand is also startign to go overseas as they don't want to spend the cost to bring up CF production in the US.

Along with the motorcycle failure was an early CF frame failure. I forget what it was called but apparently it fell apart alot..I believe it was a MTB but I am not sure...I didn't even know about it until I was talking to my dealer when I was looking at the Synapse.
