My comment should have referenced a time frame, my mistake! It was the later ‘60’s-‘70’s era when, let’s just say “inferior included”....Spewing toxics abound..

My single speed hardtail mountain bike retails for around $6,000 and I hand picked every component. And it’s all American made except the dropper which is from the U.K., the rims are French and the cables and cable housings tires and I believe the seat are Asian. It’s not that you can’t build a good bike in the US for a competitive cost. It’s just not as profitable as slapping a paint job with your logo on a frame with “custom” geo that’s nothing more than an alibaba bulk order. |

Fortunately my toaster is 15 years old and no problems.(Breville) I think it's the manufacturer's fault that products don't last. They are responsible for designing and specifying components in their products.
BTW China has become too expensive for a lot of companies. They are using other SE Asian countries. For example, Arcteryx clothing use to be made in Canada then China and now Vietnam. |
