Really funny actually, all the cannondale dealers got a letter basically saying "we promiss not to f this up, you won't see c'dale in wal-mart"
Dont assume that a frame made in Taiwan is going to be so much worse than one made in US. If its a reputable bike company, they will be top quality. The only reason they are made there is because of labor costs. There could be a awesome frame maker but just with low pay. Assuming makes and Ass out of you and me.

Sorry, I just hate people assuming anything from China and Taiwan is crap.
