I don't really get the made in USA thing when it comes to a bicycle. I mean, we're talking about a bicycle frame first so ok one can argue that maybe, perhaps maybe a US welder will do a better job at fusing the frame together... (dubious endeavor)

Then the rest is a bunch of parts that get screwed onto the frame :-) and the components come from standard manufacturers like Shimano, SRAM etc and those components are manufactured all over the place.

If You ever travel with a bike you almost completely disassemble it save removing the bottom bracket so every time you travel, if You come home and reassemble the bike you are making the bike in the USA again ;-)
