These threads usually crack me up. The frame is usually the cheapest part of the whole bike. There is not a single component group that I know of that is made in the USA or for that matter the U.S.A. either. So it is a false sense of patriotism that you display buy saying you will only buy American when the bulk of the parts are from anywhere but America.

Don't flame me here, because I do buy many American things. I just realize that many of the things we think are American made are usually not completely American made.

Just so you know USA is a city in Japan.

Botto: I love both the old and new America, not fond of Usa, though!
