Is that Civia Hyland Rohloff marketed in the UK as made in America? Funny, our import laws are very strict on what you can call country of origin, but on export not so much, almost to the point to encourage exporters to misrepresent. Aren't many bikes these days that qualify as made in the USA other than some of the higher end bike frames still made here...heck, it's hard enough to get a US origin car.
