Reputable Brands Outside of the US
Hey guys,
Do and of you know of any reputable brands along the lines of a Cannondale, Trek or Specialized that make quality road bikes in the US$800 - US$1,800 price range which are not currently distributed in the U.S.?
Been looking around for a new bike and was curious about the overseas market., in particular the European market.
Thanks for any replies.

Oh, I get it... Ha ha ha..
And if you're not being sarcastic:
I'm looking for brands that are equivalent to those brands, but just maybe in the European market. Stuff that any American's don't regularly see that might be exclusive to Europe maybe?

Why?
They probably all come from the same factory in china/taiwan anyway, at that price point.
Again, why??
