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!
hmmm
on all my bikes, my frame is the most expensive part of the bike. isn't that how it should be? (no offense to people riding cheap frames with expensive groupo's)
example:
legend ti st - $4,095 dura-ace group - $1,500??
if crown jewel - $2,200 dura-ace group - $1,500?
cheers
