Can a Taiwan made bike be decent?
Trek continued to push production overseas up until a handful of years ago when finally the last frames went overseas.
Quest Composites in China makes some stress frames too.
I am sure there are frame contracts with other companies as well.
As for your other questions- buy the Giant if you like the mix of price, features, and fit. Buy the Trek if you like the mix of price, features, and fit.
They will be different feeling bikes since no model is the same within the lineups of each company.
What bike. are you looking to buy? Add a link.
