onkey, no offense, but just because the frames you bought sell for that much doesn't mean they are the most expensive parts to produce, or that they make up the majority of the bike you ride. You are paying for more than the sum of the parts. My comment was about cost and proportionality, even though I did not make that very clear in my post.

Serotta has a reputation and you are paying for that reputation as part of that $4100 price. Was it worth it? Obviously to you it was, because you bought it, is it worth it to me, no it isn't, I see a Ti frame with a commodity carbon rear triangle. I am not trying to say that there is not some value in the workmanship. I too own an American frame. I have a Klein, one actually made by Gary Klein himself, and I paid a pretty penny for it, do I think it was worth it? yes I do. Might you think so? maybe, maybe not.

I see parts that come from all over the world to make up a bike that is mostly foreign made. As I said in my previous post the frame is just a small part of a bike.

Now I don't want this to turn into a fight over semantics. The OP wants an American made bike, I just simply pointed out that the majority of a bike is not the frame. Regardless of the price paid for the frame that fact will not change. I also inferred that most of the parts that will hang on that expensive frame are from some country other than the U.S.A. and to suggest that it is an American made bike when the majority is foreign is not looking at the whole picture.
