George ET mentioned Giant and I was in a bike store today and all they sold were Giant and Specialized bikes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did you look where the Giant bikes were made? Its a domino effect bikes got too expensive to make in USA so they were made in Japan, then they were too expensive to make in Japan so they were made in Taiwan and now most are made in China. Sad..... Japan made some great bikes.
Never Give Up!!!
