Buy American !!!!
 
So I'm looking at bikes for my 5 year old for Christmas ... DON"T want to get him one that was made in China (I haven't forgotten what they did to us over in Korea!!!)

Who has bikes made in the USA ???

Roleigh (sp?) was a few years ago, hopefully still is.

A different company, Roark Cycles, may be the finest bicycle made, and it's here in the USA, but spending thousands for a custome titainium cycle for a 5 year old may be ... excessive. But, Roark's boy got one. www.roarkcycles.com

Cannondale frames are US made... but you will most likely end up with either Japanese, Chinese, or if you want to go high buck, Italian gears and components.

the democrats were nice enough to make a list for us...with it seperated easily into red and blue columns ... just like the election did, i'm sure this silly campaign will backfire too, the only decent one on "thier side" of the list is costco and the only reason i'd buy anything there is because you can return it anytime :D

A 5 year old on a Canondale, every kid on the block will be trying to steal it. My son rides one, he is now 9 and has been on it for the past 3 years. I got him the F600, not sure if it's still available. They are a very nice bike and can really take the punishment the kids give them. Be prepared to pay though, the F600 back then was $800, a lot of $$$ for a kid's bike.

I have been looking for the same thing. In our search we found that some of the Schwinn's are still made in the States. You just have to look to know for sure.
