I know almost everything is made there. But have to start somewhere with not supporting a Country that gave us the Wuhan virus.
You can maybe count on 1 finger the number of major brands not made in China.

If you want a made in USA, you'll most likely need a hand made bike from a custom builder.

BTW, my Trek Emonda SLR was a Project One build and the frame was made in the USA... they no longer are.

Finally the way sales are going you soon won't be able to get a bike even one made in China.
